Britain came up with Big Brother and Pop Idol and probably several others, I don't think you have any justification to fob the blame for Brit reality shows off on us.

To be fair most of those things actually came out out of Finland.

I think Pop Idol was the UK but Big Brother had been all over Europe before it came here.

They don't sound nearly as incomprehensible as I imagined Jos sounding.
I don't sound incomprehensible.
But nor do I sound much like them. They sound all east end of Newcastleish. Well. Except one guy who sounds...hmm...could be from a rough area near me.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

You got a job?

Still not yet.  :weep:
Have fun selling your car when you move back to Korea!

I'll sign it (and the loan) over to my brother.  :sleep:

Yo, CdM:

Primordial have a new album out which is pretty fantastic - still the powerful melancholy of Ireland personified. Don't let the "black metal" tag throw you off, it's actually rather mellow.

Review
Have to agree, the lead singer's presence on stage is awesome (seen them three times so far), and especially in small halls it's an incredible experience to see him perform.

Two classics by them:
Empire Falls
The Coffin Ships

Geordies!   :lol:

I can't wait to watch clips of that to listen for their bizarre slang.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I don't see it.

But I did see the resemblance with Valmy (recent pics has him looking... better fed than I am).
