I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night,
Only hipsters quote Ginsberg :)

Some wicked albums here! I could never whittle it down to so few.
But...I've been sucked in so here's a few I think are good (off the top of my head and trying to exclude those previously mentioned):
Pet Sounds - Beach Boys
After the Goldrush - Neil Young
Sign O The Times - Prince (tho techinically this ain't a brilliant album - it goes on too long)
Dolittle - Pixies
Surfer Rosa - Pixies
13 Chambers - Wu Tang Clan (again prob too long to be a great album)
Bizarre Ride II Pharcyde - Pharcyde (as above but was there ever a good hip hop ALBUM?)
Nowhere - Ride
Bryter Later - Nick Drake
Slanted & Enchanted - Pavement
Abattoir Blues / Lyre of Orpheus - Nick CaveThis omits lots of really good new stuff - but don't think it's stood the test of time to be counted yet (Nick Cave scrapes in - it's been about 5 years since that album came out now...)
Oh, and based on the music tastes shown here, most of you should check out BBC 6 Music (if you haven't already).
I never understand how people enjoy Nick Drake,Pavement or Neil Young. I find them boring and monotonous!

I have been doing Crossfit (www.crossfit.com) for about four years and have seen really good results. I enjoy it because there is no real routine and is not dependent on lifting really heavy weights. Crossfit combined with cycling has kept my bodyfat down to around 11% even with my cheese and Sprite addictions.

hmm - Vinz, went for myriad as a noun eh? Some might have been tempted with the more usual adjective and said "the link gives me myriad choices" - but somehow this is rendered clumsy by the repetition of "m". In using the noun you use the indefinite article as a break between the two "ms" - and then somehow you manage to lend the whole sentence a more pleasing meter by the necessity of the "of".
Nice to know someone else is thinking about these things.
My thinking exactly.

just booked my ticket......£18.50 from Glasgow Central to London Euston, bloody good deal.
i arrive late 29th.....can we get drunk literally as soon as i get off the train, in Euston station?how safe is Euston station late at night and if i have to cycle to shoreditch, how safe is that?
£18.50! Bloody hell it costs me £25 to get to liverpool street from Norwich?
Why the move to London in the first place?

Two riders one on red bike, the the other on a blue one. Neither apparently could read a sign that said 'Pedestrian walk way cyclists dismount" (the channel along brick lane) so when the both tried to filter into the walkway one had to swerve to avoid the pedestrian with a walking stick (me) thus forcing the blue one to collide with the other rider and fucking there front wheel. Only then to blame me for being in the way! Cunts. If I wasn't still in recovery i'd seriously resorted to violence.

My friends dad just passed away. He made a will that said his children were to recieve his house while his new wife was to recieve the remainder of his pension. But it has just been discovered the will was written before his marriage thus apparently making it invalid. Is this true?
Pretty random question but I didn't really know where else to get free advice on the net!
