    Just had a look at the line-up. Rich Hall would be interesting to see live, must tell my bro about it actually, I think he has one of his CDs in his collection lol.

    I'm going to see Michael McIntyre in Cork in two weeks time. Bought his live DVD a few weeks back and have yet to watch it.

    ive seen rich so many times, he never fails to be brilliant! im goin again!


    mcintyres dvd is the fastest selling debut comedy dvd of all time, and for good reason! it's solid gold!

    Never made it to the OST though. Springsteen kept it for his own album.

    Record company could have told the movie company to f*ck off and Springsteen may not have had a say in it. Tracklist as follows:

    1 Quiet Riot - Bang Your Head (Metal Health) 5:33
    2 Cinderella - Dont Know What You Got 5:52
    3 Birdman & Lil Wayne - Stuntin LIke My Daddy 4:28
    4 Firehouse - Dont Walk Away 4:32
    5 Rhino Bucket - Soundtrack To A War: Welcome To Hell 4:10
    6 Solomon - Blowin Up 3:36
    7 Dead Family - Mirror 4:43
    8 Ratt - Round & Round 4:23
    9 Slaughter - Dangerous 3:48
    10 Ratt - Im Insane 3:14
    11 Accept - Balls To The Walls 5:43
    12 Scorpions - Animal Magnetism 5:57

    Could live without Lil Wayne and Soloman on there personally, also Bang Your Head is a 2006 remake before DuBrow overdosed, and a bad one at that. What was wrong with the original??

    I am watching Glastonbury on the telly, its impossible to gauge a festival on a few hours of selected highlights but christ it has been poor. The presenters apart from the awesome Mark Radcliffe are terrible, Jo Whiley and Lauren Laverne are dreadful and the music has been poor. This Lady Boots girl is absurdly mediocre which is sad as her reviews were very positive. :(

    Good to know :) Would have only really seen McIntyre on mock the week and some youtube clips that one of my friends sent along. Must definitely check it out his DVD this week though.

    On a comedy note, went to see Andrew Maxwell lately, I know he isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I honestly hadn't laughed so much in a while, as i did at his show.

    Nah, he's British. He's been on the likes of Mock the Week, 8 out of 10 Cats, & Have I Got News for You...among others.

    yeah mcintyre really isnt given as much screen time as i would like on mock the week he doesnt get to stretch this comedic mind! you will love the gig!

    maxwell i think is brilliant, seen him a few times but there is nothing like being at maxwells fullmooners (starts at midnight, ends at 3am) comedy, music, and breakdancin and everyone is drunk....such a brilliant night but has only been in ireland once! :(

    I was at that Fullmooners gig, one of the most random nights of my life. Did a gig in the Inter, headed to Vicar Street after and blagged myself and a girl I met at my gig into the Fullmooners for free, ended up having a beer and a chat with Steve Hughes, Indian food with the girl after and then when I walked her home after she flashed me as she went in the door.

    Good night out that :)

    i was in london for the full mooners moontacula, they reopened a building that hadnt been open for 96 years (assummed haunted) stage was so old and hard that the breakdancers were hurting themselves on it, glenn wool was the highlight of the night, tore the roof off the place then left us all in a deserted area of london howling, with maxwell leadin the charge which was great!

    Thank you orestes. I'm glad this whole sorry mess has been sorted out for once and all. Thank you for the dignified and polite way you've dealt with this whole thing both on Helpdesk and via PM and your apology of course is accepted.

    Oh and thanks to my friends Gerard C, pingu_girl and gimmick who alerted me to this problem in the first place, spoke up on my behalf, believed my side of the story when no-one else did and had my back throughout.:D

    Thoughts? Apparently it is an emo staple?

    oh emo, why are you so sad and bitter? Can you not realise that you are loved by someone? Possibly loved to much?

    Emo amuses me

    Just for the people talking about the Carlsberg Comedy Festival. I was looking at heading in but its 30 quid a ticket for 2 hours. Some of the acts are great but not worth an hour each. Really wanted to see Bo Burnham, David O Doherty, Tim Minchin and a few others but for that price youtube will have to do.

    Since I was the one who pulled the trigger on this ban initially, I'd also like to publically apologise. My apologise for the lateness, but I'm only back from a stags party after spending all night playing (and losing at) poker.

    I hope there's no hard feelings. It appeared to be a breach, i acted on it, and I probably acted too hastily, so again flahavaj, I'm sorry.

    Oh on a happier note, because it was a special occasion tonight... here goes.

    Threw this in here because i didn't feel that it warranted it's own thread.

    But i'm done guys.

    It's been a fun three months, it's been fun being around for Mania, helping getting the Irish Promotions sticky lively again (although Dean and Cannibal take a fair share of the credit for that too), getting the nostalgia thread going, and even temporarily bringing the wrestling quiz thread back to life, and let's not forget the wiki.

    More importantly, it's been fun doing my bit to raise the forum back from the dead.
    But my work's done, really. There's nothing left for me to do, and orestes has done a great job fitting back into the glove. That i think it's time to go back to plan A. It's been fun, stressful, headache inducing, and hilarious all at the same time. I've lost some friends in that time, made a rake of new ones in their place, so the trade off was worth it.

    So whatever happens next, well... it's PW, is there ever a dull moment? Time will tell.

    So long!
