See, I remember then all - from silverjean to justkelley, from kjhl (sic?) to priceandtherevolution. Initial posts, 'I'm leaving' threads, bullshit internet relationships, everything. I even remember your first post as asianbomb in prince Music and more. You were trying to be all mysterious and funny at the same time. Oil and water, my man. Things just stick like chewing gum to a tramp's mouth. I remember when I realised priceandtherevolution was actually Simon Price, semi-famous Londoncentric music journalist who wrote one of my favourite books about the Manic Street Preachers. He's also a Smiths fanatic and wrote a recent book about them that was acclaimed to the hilt. Small world. I could probably give a brief synopsis of the personality of every orger, no matter how obscure. If you had a billion monkeys typing at a billion typewriters for a billion years, you still wouldn't get a sadder sentence then that.

btw, i like Francis Dunnery.

JustKelly is still around... just under a different name.

There are about 10 perma-bans still here

He produced an Ian Brown album, didn't he? You see how I retain life's byproducts?

Imago said:

Anx once threatened to permaban me because he thought I was INSATIABLE. Long story.

I think the brief personality synopsis of every orger, past and present, is a great idea....if you start now, you would finish in an hour or so....

Number23 said:

not sure. thought you'd know some of his stuff being that he's from Scotland. not saying that you've heard and know music from every musician from Scotland, just that he seemed kinda big over there.

you're not familiar with this:






you should really search for this one.

Nights most folk spend in Sauchiehall Street they have little recollection of, except for what they read in the court inditement. It's a black hole of societal doom, apocalyptal ground zero. I'll track down the album.

1) did you study journalism in university, or did you work your way up from the mail room?

2) Have you ever traced your ancestry back?....are you a descendent of a fierce norse warlord, or the great great great great great great great grandson of perhaps the Crawfords?

3) what about the bay city rollers?

4) what about Tom Waits?

5) have you ever been told you look like the american actor James Spader?

1) I studied, but also worked for Scotland's biggest broadsheet (The Herald) as a tea boy. My mum phoned them up when i was 16, working popping popcorn in a Glasgow picturehouse. I met most of scotland's true intellectual heavyweights, mostly dead now, chirrosis of the liver and various strains of heart disease have taken them all out. Mabe they weren't too clever after all. You can't really learn how to be a journalist, as opposed to tabloid sensationalist. Without journalism, there can be no democracy. you can;t condemn the media as a whole. However, i digress. the hunger to hunt and write stories is either there or it isn't. It was four years of brutality to my liver and lungs, that course. I could tell tales until sunrise about the outrageous personal addictions and perversions of various Scottish journalists.

2)No, but apparently my ancestry goes back to when the norse Vikings invaded a place called Largs in Scotland and raped all the women. Blonde hair isnt indigenous to the British isles. I'm norse, really. Great, great, great, great, great, great grandson of a beardy rapist.

3)Paedophiles and poncery.

4)Beautiful, he should be put on the Ark.

5)Nope. I just googled and I think he has a similarly meloncholy look about him, but none of my physical features.

#1 What do think of me based on the small amount of interaction here @ p.whorg

#2 What are some of the most remote areas of Scotland ?

have you ever read Hunter Thompson?

" Alexandre Dumas?

what's the deal with Haggis anyway?

1) Ha! I think the Earth Mother pagan with a cheeky grounded sense of humour and burning fire down below persona you project is really you. You've been through outrageous hardship and came through it with grace and compassion intact. Our online personas may clash but I do think we'd click big time in reality. I don't think you're conceited or egotistical, like many are here. I think you'd cure AIDS with a crushed dandelion or something.
2) The Isle of skye and my heart.

BlackAdder7 said:

1) A little. Good in small doses. Like most narcotics actually.
2)Alexandre Dumbass.
3) It's a stew of sheep lungs, brain and intestines. little bit of spice, big bit of salt, boiled in a sheep's stomach. Tastes as good as it sounds, especially deep fried in batter with chips, broon sauce and a pickle.

Very true that , at least for us auldtimers.

Q from the paleolithic: were you ever bothered by people thinking you==icenine. To me, you were both wordsmiths, yes, but that was about it.


Now i'm curious as to my synopsis

AlfofMelmak said:

Alf! You really do look like that bird off Eastenders, y'know. I only discovered this place a few months after icenine had left. It was pej and rdhull - rdhull especially - who were hysterical that I 'was back' and that I should, infact, 'fuck off'. Lovely welcome, probably something to do with how antagonistic i was perceived back then. my back was certainly up.
I think I played up to it a little. Baptism of fire and all that. I was getting loads of orgnotes telling me I was a sick racist bastard and wasn't welcome now I was banned.
I also got one from someone who will remain nameless that he agreed with all my previous comments. Most of them didn't believe me when I protested, so I think in the end I just said, aye, I'm icenine. The real icenine was highly amused, i'm sure. It was applekisses who told me his history and I actually talked to him a few times on Quaidbowl - which apparently was partly invented so that I could chat with the guy. Like a really microcosmic, non-consequential innane summit of heads. And we all know the shitstorm that caused.
Icenine himself was actually quite the gentleman, I thought. I never saw any of his posts here. Wasn't he just more like Devil's Advocate rather than anything else?

Number23 said:

I tell you old boy I personally think The Stone Roses were one of the most over-rated bands in history.
But im loving Ians new single.....



how you keeping anyway?

Imago said:

And you, Number23's. I don't know which is better/worse. As for Morrissey, as you know I love 'You Are The Quarry'. The thing is, I never really looked at his lyrics as anything more than a very affected brand of humour. He still has it, and the music on that album (Quarry) is catchy, but he's not as humorous as he was with The Smiths and the music isn't quite as catchy, that's all. It's all the same to me.

Here's a question. Ever heard of my brother? According to his bio on some obscure movie website, 'Jay Richardson is a Glasgow-based freelance journalist. His writing credits include the Guardian, Sunday Times, Herald and Scotsman'.

He writes mostly about comedy and film.

Edit: http://www.scotsman.com/e...5718215.jp Kevin Smith interview... happily surprised to see he's moved up from interviewing local comics.

you write magnificently here on the gd board, and probably other pieces you've written. do the words you type represent real time conversations you have?...ie do you speak so sophisticately in conversations you have at work, or at the pub, or with the misses?
what about princes music do you like?
do you like Imago?
how about Fauxie?
do you miss Anxiety?
do you like the rolling stones?
do you like Tom Jones (the welsh singer, not the fictional character)
[Edited 12/12/09 16:25pm]

What's really in chicken pokora? The missus wants to make them at home here.

Fauxie said:

What does it matter if your chowing down on that stuff listening to Morrissey's most recent efforts.

Imago said:

It's good stuff, dude. Nasty, late night fatty eating, but good eating nonetheless.

I don't like 'Ringleader of The Tormentors' if that'll get me re-boo'd.

Why do you have so many icons on your desktop?

Alej said:

One of them's a folder of MGMT

Fauxie said:

Number23 said:

Really? Could you give me a synopsis about me? I don´t think that I´ve left that much of a lasting impression here on the org, never really been into cliques and all, and I´m not the most prolific thread starter here...so that´s why I´m really curious now.

muirdo said:

I was never into the Roses either - but I did have a pair of Joe Bloggs black jeans with red arse pockets from Jeanster in Coatbridge. Loved them, they had handlebar things on the legs too. Fantastic. musically, Jon Bon Jovi's Blaze Of Glory soundtrack for Young Guns 2 was hitting me hard around then. In fairness, I had just turned 10. And I'm doing fine. We should defo meet for a pint soon, I'm only over the road in West Kilbride. I'm also on the scrounge for some new illegal prince recordings.

Fauxie said:

I've seen his byline here and there. I don't know him though, which is weird because Scottish journalism is such a small pool. He no doubt drinks at more expensive bars then me, being freelance and master of his own destiny.

BlackAdder7 said:

I look back on most of what I write here and shudder. I think I'm pretty piss poor at articulating my thoughts and intentions, to be honest. My sentence structure has little emotional or linear coherance and there's a severe lack of emotional engagement in my manner. I don;t even try anymore. I used to, but I was completely misunderstood and conciously decided to bland out a little. Still, I'm comparing myself to Hemmingway, Bellow, Crowley, Dickens and Joyce. I'm swimming in concrete there, really.

1)I dont know, I'd ask someone who has spent time with me. There's loads of folk here that have done. i don;t think i talk like a pretentious, bitchy wank. I have a brutally working class accent from deepest North Lanarkshire, but I guess that dilutes the more cererbal banter a little, making it more palatable for fellow scum.

2) I love Prince's music becuase he seems completely fearless and endlessly imaginitive. I'm in awe of his energy. No-one else would have the balls to record those harmonies in The Voice Inside. There's a zillion examples. I could fill forests with Prince musings. He's the man. He say fuck you.

3)I really like imago, aye.

4)I really like fauxie too, aye.

5)I fusking love The Rolling Stones.

6)I think Tom Jones is hilarious. He's like a comedian, presses the same buttons. He was funnier than Bill Hicks in the Perfect Day video.
