  1. The problem is, you get a benefactor with dollar but what can he do without infringing the fair play rules?

    Eventually all football will have to go back to the basics, investment in youth should be the prime goal. Apart from a few not many can survive from gate money these days.

  2. Stu, as long as I can remember, there's always been turmoil at Meadow Lane in one shape or another. I'm not a Notts fan by any means but probably went to a good percentage of home games during the 80's as did many Forest supporters. They're survivors, they just need a decent guiding light. Surely there's a multi billionaire Nott's fan somewhere?

  3. As it may appear judging by their away record of late, good intel, cheers.

    If only Britt was available, they'd be smashing inferior AND top of the table.

    Over the years I've realised nothing in the Championship is done 'til it's done. Can you imagine Forest and Derby in a playoff semi final or, even better, the final?

  4. These things tend to be a bit subjective but for me any such list would have to include Rory Gallagher, Peter Green and Jeff Beck.

    Now you know what I mean by 'etc'.

    Guitarists, well, where the hell does one start ?

    10 Koss....... So much emotion and feeling in his music . Honest, strong and real music.

    Exactly, and Koss only a ten? :glare:

  5. At least your list is spelt correctly

    Apart from "Elisabeth" which I'm not totally comfortable with.

    I won't partake of what my grand kids are called, they're not chavvy but, lets' put it this way, new age. We nearly called our boy Daniel but, fortunately for him, it didn't really ring with the surname :unsure:

    And, there's not a Mick, Mike or Michael among 'em, does that mean I'm slobfree?

  6. Never mind Imprezzas, have you ever looked at chavvy names? Just have a Google but here's something I found:

  7. Whatever Eric Clapton has turned in to he has inspired millions of kids world wide in to becoming muso's of one sort or another. His tastes were very eclectic and that shows in his later work (which I'm not particularly a fan of) but you can't say he isn't a great. This is a fairly general top ten and, in my opinion, there are some gaping mistakes in it.

    1. Jimi Hendrix
    2. Duane Allman (maybe but not No.2)
    3. B.B. King
    4. Eric Clapton
    5. Robert Johnson (maybe but only with the Devil's help) :glare:
    6. Chuck Berry
    7. Stevie Ray Vaughan (don't agree - my taste)
    8. Ry Cooder
    9. Jimmy Page
    10. Keith Richards (don't agree)

    The most glaring omissions for me are Paul Kossoff, David Gilmour, Bernie Marsden, Tony Iommi, Mick Ralphs, Joe Satriani **etc. Not necessarily all top tenners but definitely top fifteen candidates.

    Some people even mention George Harrison in the same breath, not a patch on any of the above.

    ** The 'etc' means the list could well go on a lot longer.

  8. I remember us getting in a fight in the Union with some young army cadets who were in uniform and throwing their weight about. One of my mates was a sailor and hated the army so he just couldn't help stirring it. He was a big lad and ended up throwing two of them in the Trent, uniforms n'all, the others cleared off, twas a glorious night!

  9. From a previous topic:

    I saw Led Zeppelin, Juicy Lucy, Uriah Heep (I think) Canned Heat and lot's more at the Boat. As I recall it was rock at the Boat, soul at the Union and crap at the Brit (pop stuff)

    My favourite was the Beach though, always there on a Friday and Sunday. The Dungeon was good as well especially the all nighters.

    I loved Juicy Lucy - after seeing Glenn Campbell (not the Wichita line man) play I was hooked on steel guitar for life.

    There was a lot going on at the Albert Hall as well, I saw Wishbone Ash, Black Sabbath and T-rex there.

  10. You like "house music" and say you're a musician.......would'nt have thought the 2 had anything in common, ??

    Mate, sit in front of CuBase for a few days with four synths + rhythm machine on the go, guaranteed you'd be blown away by what is possible [ELO liked it]

    Whichever way house is produced, it pumps.

    Strangely enough my roots have always been in the club/dance thing, always been a clubber basically. I started with soul ranging through blues and rock over the years then, all of a sudden in the late 80's I came to South Wales and was re-introduced to the dance scene and loved it.

    The following is an example of the type of bonding kids experience at house clubs around the world. 20,000+ total strangers enjoying each others company for hours. It may be a bit raucous but stick with it, if you can :blink:

    It can't be wrong can it?

    I dunno about the musician tag, I prefer 'trier'. I've been trying to get to grips with the main solo, guitar 1, of "Can't get enough" by Bad Company/Mick Ralphs for weeks, I've got it but I haven't but I'm trying.
