HEROES and VILLAINS...

Which record shop was that Mario? I ask because I'll then know to avoid it if I ever happen to be passing by that part of town next time I'm in Holland (which can't come soon enough, believe me!)

a shop called "de Nootzaak", very well utilised on the indie and other non top40 genres, but they've got a crap attitude. I ordered my copy of 60mph with them, they would call me when it was there . two and a half weeks later, no calls yet , i check the cd's under "N ' and what do i find: yes, my copy of 60 mph. Well fuck them, hope they choke on a turkey bone this xmas!!Bastards:head off:

And some of my villains: Neil and Christine Hamilton, The Royal family, Richard and Judy, Michael Portillo, Bruce Forsyth (chisel chin twat), Jeremy Beadle, and also that fat cow who now presents U've Been Framed - forgot her name Lisa summat?, Gazza, David Beckham, Graham taylor, Michael Parkinson, Robbie williams (talentless leech), Robin Williams (unfunny twat).

Ok, thanks! :)

Never noticed this thread before - better think of some things to stick in it then!! Unfortunately, me drink-addled mind cannot at presnet come up with any true nuggets as yet, so a couple of starters will have to do for now, until I come back with a better list.

Heroes - David Bowie (of course - though only up to 1978 - see below!) Norman Greenbaum, Ian Curtis, John Lydon, Joe Strummer, Tony Benn, The Iggster

Villains- David Bowie (for everything he's done after 1978), Boy george (for everything he's ever done) , Useless Boy/Girl bands and other Manufactured pop puppets, Middlesborough locals (their appalling musical tastes espescially)

That's all for now - be back when I've got a better list.
