and why oh why hasnt El Cucho joined?!

Am I one of those or is there 3 neils now.

Also - hello folks. Just back from a nice relaxing weekend which included a Linkin Park concert, a trip to the Guinness storehouse and marking 26 years on this planet with a few lovely pints of zlaty bazant in the Czech Inn - thought I'd see what all the fuss was about.

there is only two neils there? xavi and neil1984

ShiverinEskimo

No, there's 3. I'm Neil.

EDIT-Scratch that. I see you're talking about some unknown (to me) bebo page. I'm sure there are only 2 neil's there.

I thought you meant in general on these forums.

Xavi6

Three Neils? Feckin hell. I never knew another one til I went to college and there were 5 of us in the one class.

Mr Alan

oh and Playa; the reason that me and mr vedder had a falling out was that he handed out quite a public bashing of Counting Crows some time ago after CCs appeared in a coke commercial. artier than arty mr vedder didnt approve.

tosser.

Neil; there is definately only 2 neils when i look at it!

If you check my post I did edit it upon realising my mistake.

Thought he was speaking about the soccer forum regulars in general.

Xavi - Since I was maybe on the planet first (26 years and 1 Day) I reckon I should be Neil and you should be Neil2. Unless of course you've been about longer.

Pfft age is only a number, it's all about join date!

ShiverinEskimo

Pah. Where's that person who's sig says "You are not your join date, you are not your postcount..."etc. etc.

Besides - NOW there are 3 neil's. Clarifcation will not be necessary.

Whats the story with a bebo page for Soccer forum??

Training a new guy to take over my job when I leave. Severely restricting my Boards viewing pleasure.
Have to train him till 4th July.. Total pain in the arse, although he's good craic and I don't need to teach him how to lie (it's essential for the job) as he is already quite proficient in that activity.
He did however dis my Youtube playlist so he scored some negative marks for saying Rilo Kiley and Modest Mouse were shite..

When you listen to a song just click on add to playlist under the vid display.
I use it for music at work cause no radio and MP3 player would be frowned upon. I have my own office so no worries about playing music most the time.

I am a big fan of george carlin but bill hicks was much better.

Mr Alan

How do i make the youtube link in my signature not appear as a youtube link, and appear as a sentence.....eg i want it to read "Spirit Of Shankly", then when you click on it it brings you to the youtube link.

any help would be greatly appreciated!

ShiverinEskimo

URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTfpn_xsKhE"]Spirit of Shankly[/URL

Like that only with the open square bracket and close square bracket at each end.

~Rebel~

can't think of the code off the top of my head, am in a bus, but if you make a reply to a message, type the phrase, paint it, click the handy link button and put in the link, then copy the whole lot and paste into your sig

I would imagine that you just put it in as a web page link, this gives you the option to add text.

See, this works.

Just quote my post and you will see how it should appear. Then just a matter of copy and paste for the sig.

Modest Mouse arent bad, bringing Johnny Marr on board helped their cause no end, they have some catchy lyrics and riffs.

Anyone ever listen to the National? I'm going to see them on Monday night, and honest to jesus, I havent a clue what to expect, i just youtubed them and this came up:

Hope their not a full Interpol photo copy!
Not gonna get much chance to brush up on them....just need to know if their worth brushing up on! Its a bit different than what I have spent the last few months listening too!!

OOh, the National are fantastic and I'm pretty sure if Xavi is awake he'll second that. The Boxer was definitely one of the greatest albums of last year and the one before that was pretty damn good to. From what I heard about there live performances they live up to their billing, but if I were you I'd familiarise yourself first and (legally) download the Boxer. There's a thread on it in the Alt and Indie forum detailing it's brilliance

Charlie is right. Just highlight "Spirit of Shankly" in your sig (via CP) and then click on the 'insert link' icon (under the paper clip icon) and insert the full youtube addy there. That's it.
Oh, I see you have it now.

Mr Alan

Thanks lads, got it sorted now.

Cheers, il give it a go, will try and get it tomorrow, as i said before, i dont really listen to alt and indie music that much lately, so it will be a bit of a come down from the heavy metal i have been throwing in my earholes lately!

Indeed I will second that. Absolutely great album and band. As soon as I heard 'Fake Empire' I knew I was onto a winner.

As for Modest Mouse, 'Float On' is quite possibly the catchiest and collest song of the 2000s so far. Another great band.
