    Losing a loved one

    I don't think you understand what it can be like. They become part of the family. Though maybe it would be better if there were a separate pet thread.

    Losing a loved one

    I've had a lot of death in my life. I've had several cats die, some of which were fairly tragic. The ones that stick out in my memory was this cat I adored called Mozart. Earlier that day we had found a brown snake in the backyard and killed it. Both the cat and the dog looked fine, but then at...

    ----People With AMAZING/UNIQUE Voices-----

    I agree that Chrissie Hynde has a terrific voice. Big Pretenders fan. I'd say of women I love Dusty Springfield's voice. With men, I think Roy Orbison and Freddie Mercury were both brilliant.

    Best Song 2004

    I love Belinda Carlisle and U2's respective versions of these songs, but find these covers to be extremely underwhelming.

    Bert and Rove

    I do not like Rove. Bert, meanwhile, was freaking awesome. As always.

    It means nothing until John confirms it.

    You teach me sax, I'll teach you the pipes.

    Saxophonists Unite!

    I'd say so. It took me two years before I could play in public. I've been learning for six years now and am in a Grade Three band (in bagpipes, grades go from four to one, and it is expected my band shall move up to Grade Two soon). Basically the trouble in learning is that while the bagpipe...

    Saxophonists Unite!

    When I was much younger than now I considered playing the trumpet, because I thought it had an awesome name. Then I considered the saxophone, because I thought Clarence Clemons was the man, plus I really liked the sax bit at the end of Walk On The Wild Side by Lou Reed (trivia for you all: that...

    anyone play the accordion?

    I know a guy who plays the accordion. Given that I'm a bagpiper I have often played at his concert, as he plays traditional Scottish folk tunes. Honestly I think it's quite silly, and I have no idea why you would want to go to an accordion concert, but it does quite well so what am I to say?

    pet sounds vs revolver

    I'd give the edge to Pet Sounds, but I think I may choose Rubber Soul over it.

    One Nation racist

    If Dimsimmer were being racist they would have said "I hate Pauline Hanson that racist albino bitch". The Greens are not extremist. One Nation's not extremist. Family First is. And your italicised point is a rather massive generalisation.

    Facial hair or not

    Yesterday I saw an old Asian man with facial hair exactly like Pai Mei in Kill Bill Vol. 2. He did not stroke it. I was very disappointed.

    Argh f*ck.

    I've seen that before and think it is just written by someone who is incredibly cynical about love. It's bloody stupid, has nothing to do with this situation at all and I think you just threw it in to see if your obscure reference would be picked up on. As for you, azzie, it is difficult to...

    Long Hair

    Yes, he's obviously been reading a lot of Wilde lately. I have somewhat long hair for a male, though nowhere near as long as some people are describing. Beatles hair, I suppose. I quite like it, as I feel it makes me look like a mildly eccentric artist, specifically film director. And I have...

    Facial hair or not

    I love that movie. I'd say after Roman Holiday it's my favourite Hepburn film. Closely followed by My Fair Lady and Breakfast At Tiffany's (it's the one that can reduce me to tears though). Anyway, I had sideburns for probably a good two years and just shaved them off on NYE. I should...

    Ultimate Kylie

    I don't know if I'd say the self-titled album is her best. I'm a big fan of Rhythm Of Love. I can't choose between Better The Devil You Know and Confide In Me as my favourite Kylie song, but I'd say Rhythm Of Love has more songs of her's which I really do enjoy quite a bit.

    Proposing

    I don't see why the woman shouldn't propose. I mean, yes, it's traditional for the guy to, but I don't see how it's problematic for the woman to do so. Do you think that women should not ask out men, because traditionally it is up to the male to win over the female? It's the 21st century, I...

    So how were we meant to differentiate this from any of your other posts?
