Need you guys to sort an argument between myself and Toe-Knee....

[Philly Q]

Ok calm down everyone. What kind of picks are we using this week?

And was the music shop allowed to sell them to you over-the-counter?

I've heard they're now selling Dunlop Jazz IIIs in plain, unbranded packets - so you don't know if you're getting black or red ones.  :o  

[AndyR]

And isn't there minimum price legislation on it's way to discourage people like Frank from binge-picking?

(EDIT: They've definitely got that wrong, though, it's not the picks, it's the strats... although you could argue about what the definition of a strat-binge is...)

I'm with Blue - I hate both of them, although I prefer Iron Maiden of the two as I can't stand the repetitive cycle of grim northerners drinking pints and having affairs - now if there was a soap about east Londoners drinking pints and having affairs, I might watch that....

I've never really watch Coronation Street or listened to Iron Maiden so can't really comment.

One thing about Coronation Street is that, after Last of the Summer Wine, it is the most depressing theme tune in TV history. LOTSW was particularly depressing as it was on on a Sunday night and always reminded me that I was due in school the next day.

Good Gods, I think this might be the second or third time in a year that I'm in agreement with Ian about something :)

My sister used to watch the omnibus of Eastenders on a Sunday - it was late morning or early afternoon I think, but that was my 'depressing Sunday theme tune' equivalent. That and 2 1/2 hours of Eastenders is enough to make anyone slit their wrists if you ask me.
It's strange, because Ski Sunday was really getting on for the last thing I'd watch before bedtime on a Sunday night as a kid, but the theme tune for that didn't give me the same 'Oh cr@p it's school tomorrow' vibe!

Perhaps set in a fictitious postcode area like, oh..... London E20?

I don't watch Coronation Street, but having seen episodes here and there, it's certainly better than the appalling mess of tiresome balls that is Iron Maiden.

[dave_mc]

yeah i like maiden

don't watch coronation street

[AndyR]

I don't really understand why there's such strong feeling about these two...

I could happily watch either of them with the sound turned down and Radio 4 on in the background.

[JDC]

I might get one of these

That is by far the best description of Iron maiden that i have ever heard. Kudos.

This is a reason Brow would watch coronation street. He has said so himself!

I've been more into Radio 5 Live recently.  Radio 4 can be very dull in the evenings.

Careful Roo - you'll be in agreement about "you know what" soon.

100% right.

True enough, I'm not blind  :lol:

Still............. My own life is depressing enough as it is without watching other people live out misery and despair. Or am I confusing that with Eastenders?  :lol:

There are limits ;)
