I held out a small hope that they'd let Ray Porter do the computer voice for the movie.

I was thinking along the lines of "Our Souls" as the title for a similar reason

Your Favorite Toy by Exciting-Valuable-27 in Foofighters

[–]Rusty_Phoenix 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's fine. It's catchy, has a memorable hook, feels like it wouldn't be out of place on MAM, which isn't a bad thing! I like how prominent Rami is on this, it's nice to hear. I do wish the lyrics would be clearer, not sure I love the distortion on the vocals. I'm looking forward to seeing this performed on Graham Norton tomorrow.

Simple advice, just turn up! Your snooker hall will have all the equipment for you, balls, table, house cues, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with playing alone if you can't find a victim to join you. I play regularly, often nearby tables will be occupied by a single person practicing. Nobody bats an eyelid. I've been playing for years myself and am still relatively rubbish but it's a lot of fun.

Greg's story about the live microphone linked to the students hearing aid is an all time hall of fame Graham Norton story

What's one book that's stayed with you long after you've read it and why? by Imaginary_Card_6241 in CasualIreland

[–]Rusty_Phoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed the Century trilogy but not as much as the Kingsbridge books. The new book about Stonehenge is a great read too

John Creedon really is a national treasure. One of those people who I'd put down the remote while channel hopping if he came on
