I used to love Soundgarden,(and obviously RATM as mentioned before) and i loved Audioslaves first album, seen them live just after they released it and it was an awesome gig. But they never really progressed as a band, and it looked like they were just in it for the cash and not a long term deal to be honest, especially when they didnt tour with their 2nd or 3rd album (forget which!)

Their 3rd. Dont under rate their second album, that was a more mature effort than the first one. I loved both, the last was more hit and miss though.

Is he really a good singer though? Pearl jam are great, and they have an great sound, but how many of his songs have you had to listen to about 29 times before you understood a few lines of it? Far be it for me to critisise the man, but some of his singing is very muffly, which is obviously his style. I focking love Corduroy and Alive, ah feck if i started listing off songs id be here for a while.

Yea he is. Ever heard the version on Love Reign O'er Me by the Who? Class act.

back off topic, Chris Cornell's solo album, in particular his Billie Jean cover, is quite tragic.

These are pogs



Póg = kiss.

It's pronounced like you'd say Pogue.

Ive only heard the covers of "Billie Jean" and Bob Marleys "Redemption Song" which is incidently one of my favourite songs ever (the Marley one)

Its only gonna get worse, Timbaland is producing Cornell now, so expect him to be singing two lines of a song to a drum/bass backing track featuring some tart "singing" a catchy chorus every 24 seconds.

It is bad. The whole album is bland and dull.

I take back what I said about British Pop rock, I really like Supergrass who I am going to see soon.

Ahh thanks. I just got a personal lesson here from a very drunk Irishman I even know a Pogue song it seems. A typically Irish christmas carol about being drunk and abusive which probably isn't played anywhere outside of Irish bars and Ireland.

You heard of Shane McGowan? His band was called The Pogues.

Maybe Poge is a better representation.

Ho do you say League? Leag-u? Obviously not.

So, Pogue.

It is an anglicisation of the Irish Gaelic work Póg, the accent over the "o", called a "fada" makes the vowel sound a bit longer. Póg means kiss.

It amazes me that you have Irish family members and don't know how to pronounce that word tbh.

I gave no opinion on it, I described it. Its a bit chessy but more just dull.

A woman scanned the guests at a party and spotted an
attractive man standing alone. She approached him.

'My name is Carmen,' she told him.

'That's a beautiful name,' he replied, 'Is it a family name?'

'No,' she replied. 'I gave it to myself. It reflects the things
I like most -- cars and men.'

'What's your name?' she asked.

He said, 'B. J. Titsengolf

I had previously heard one of their songs, didn't remember any names.

I know how to pronounce Póg with the accent, but the band name didn't have an accent and people don't always use them on boards so alot of times I'm not sure if people are typing text speak or gaelic.

Well now, as much as you think that american's all love you Irish, I happen to have my own cultural heritage which pre-dates yours by a couple of thousand years . If ANY language would be dominant it would be mine As a compromise, the common language in our household is English

No, no, no. I wasn't getting at that. Jaysis. I wasn't saying we're better than youse. Heh.

Hardly anyone speaks As Gaeilge (that means "in irish" in irish (oss gwayl-geh)) in Ireland anyway (to our shame I might add), it's just certain phrases would be well known (among the Irish diaspora). Like Póg mo Thóin.

I'm all kinds of Nazi.

I've been reading mostly. I'm considering my position on boards at the moment. I'm trying to decide if it is a time suck.

Actually, I changed work rotation so I could start playing for a senior amateur (or minor league) soccer team and I've been busy with that.

I know that phrase. I'd never pick up gaelic though, it is waaaay to fast (I hardly understand when you guys speak english) and to be honest, any time I'm in a room with more than a couple of Irish people, my memory goes fuzzy.... startling coincidence.

I was an excellent speaker of the language until I was 12, then I moved to the senior school cycle, and for the first three years of that my Irish teacher was a Christian Brother in his 60s, who's idea of teaching was a knuckle to the head if you hadn't learned off the poems. Prick.

One of my best friends is a fluent speaker, and I can hold a basic conversation with her sometimes.

Well I have minions in work these days so I can come and go as I please. It is really only wednesday and thursday evenings and saturdays mornings I need off, which is reasonable. But that is when I tended to be on boards.ie.

I've heard about that (and not just from the movies) it seems to be a reoccurring conversation among drunk Irish guys. That would never happen here.

You know, you're not much better than Xavi (but you're still better) on the pervert thing.

On a related note, when did "I'm tired so if you really want to do something we can watch a movie at my place" become "spend 2 hours figuring out the best way to slyly feel you up in the hope you'll stop watching the movie and get naked"?

What do you mean "when". It's always been that. For ever.

It used to be "I'm tired so if you really want to do something we can watch a fire at my cave" said by Oggette, but really Ogg would be thinking "spend 2 hours figuring out the best way to slyly feel you up in the hope you'll stop watching the fire and get out of the loincloth"

Psi, what the bejesus is this about leaving? Time to prioritise I think;
1. Soccer
2. Boards.ie
3. Medical work type thing (im not entirely sure what is it but pretty sure it falls in there somewhere).

ergo, if anything should be lessoned or dropped it should be 3, leaving more time for activities 1 and 2. Can't fight the maths!




(im aware there are no maths involved, sticking in a few numbers just make anything look more logical)
