Well excited for this, missed the last 2 and now im finally in town for one of these badboys 

Any word on when the black/colour/push ones will be back in stock?

the website says that the silver ones are sold out but the fancy ones are back in stock, however, on chemical and amazon (would much rather buy from chemical) the opposite is true and they only have the silver ones. Any idea when I'd be able to get a fancy pants one?

I've got 2 tickets for sale to see the knife in berlin next saturday, thought i'd ask here just incase anyone fancies a trip to berlin?

BOOOO!!

I thought this was on the 24th?!   
Was gonna be a lovely little birthday treat for me

Same weekend as this  http://arcfestival.co.uk/

Ken Livingstone talks about how the Kincora boys school was used to entrap and blackmail paedo politicians. 

Jesus, where was that taken from?

sounds like thats 1-0 to the tinfoil hat club on this one

sometimes you don't know your question is stupid until people tell you though

But is it  more stupid not to ask a question in fear of it being seen as a stupid question than to ask a stupid question and for it to be seen as much as anyone really has been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

            

I fancy playing at the Miami WMC can anyone hook me up with a set? I play Bavarian folk and grindcore.

Could you provide a link to a 13 minute mix that showcases your skills as a selector?

Could you bring a 100 people or less with you?

 

The thing is, if you have any notion of a community music scene, you must know it's a bit an unrealistic ask?
The people with sets to offer are deluged by people asking for them. People they know well, and who's djing skills they are confident in. It's kind of obvious surely that the sets will all be taken by those people rather than people from out of town asking on a forum. I know it sounds a bit like 'local sets for local people', and I guess it is, but not in a xenophobic or conspiratorial way, just in the way that people hook up their mates before they hook up strangers. And everyone wants to play at carnival

Bristol line up of the year! 

It's like all the negativity of hijack, with the stupid turned up to 11 and none of the grammar/spelling pedantry. Someone needs to take him down a peg or seven.

Cheers guys. Got him booked in at Highcroft on Wells Rd.

He is awesome! I want one!

Reduced tickets to a show people have already bought full priced tickets to isn't an insult at all...

email christine.swain@colstonhall.org to air your grievances on the matter

If you buy a shirt from a shop, and then see it reduced the next week, you don't go back and give them hell for reducing it after you bought it... I do sympathise with your frustration, but it's just bad luck, not a reason to have a go at colston hall for putting on a sale.

In other news, this show is gonna be amazing  and this is also a very good look:

We will also be collating the live recordings and selling them digitally (a lot of the acts will be performing brand new material as well as their 'classics') and all the funds raised from this endeavour will be donated to the Wallace and Gromit Grand Appeal.

Sometimes things need to break down in order to realise what you had.

Sometimes, yeah, but usually things breakdown because they aren't working, and aren't going to work.

In my experience, mental girls are good at hiding the mental when they want you back, but it soon comes out again once you are back. Give it another go if you want, but don't get sucked in. As soon as you see that old behaviour come back, get out of there, don't be thinking that it's just a temporary glitch or whatever.

Self-important bump.

For those that may not have been hijacking over xmas 

YES! Ladyscraper! 

Its been too long, this should be lots of fun 

So much  in this report

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-20793972

Me & Lumen's set's coming along nicely. We're cramming a whole nuclear war into just an hour for your viewing, listening and most of all dancing pleasure!

Pretty amazing! 

http://funny-town.blogspot.co.uk/2006/10/absolute-crazy-innovations.html

Loads of awesome ideas on there!

Not too sure about the cactus soother tho 

Without a doubt. But sadly guns already exist, in their droves. Most of the main shareholders of the companies that make said guns are congressmen or part of the loby process.

Even if greater control of guns comes about as a result of this, there will be another school shooting. Instead of getting their gun from Wal-Mart, they will get it via the black market. Further control will also inflate said black market en masse.

It is too little, too late.

But it's about reducing access as much as possible. If they bring in tighter controls now, then that will slightly limit gun access now. In 10 years, there will be 10 years less worth of guns-sold-frivolously, maybe even scores more that have been handed in in amnesty. By then the gun-nuts will also have adjusted somewhat to the slightly tighter controls, and perhaps even stricter controls could then be brought in.
America has to be weaned off it's gun obsession, and it's never too late to start, cuz it's gonna take a long time.

To say 'it is too little too late', while true, is to play into the hands of the NRA.  Would you say 'theres no point in arresting peadophiles who were raping kids in the 70s, its too little too late'

shutting the door after the horse has bolted is still useful if there's other horses who might leg it

They have a guestbook!!!!!    I've not seen one of those on a site since Geocities was the done thing.

Always wanted to go there, haven't managed it yet. The colour inn is also a good shout if you don't want to go quite all the way up whiteladies. They do what i'd consider 'proper' cocktails like the milk thistle, except their's taste nice!
I know what you mean about sex on the beach skewing everyones view of what a cocktail should be, but that's not what I meant. I've enjoyed countless pretentious drinks, in the uk and abroad, but every single one i tried (most of the menu between sips of all my mates drinks) in the milk thistle was so far from up my street i would have rather been drinking in 'spoons. I think that was down to my particular tastes to an extent, but no one seemed that bowled over by their drink, which you should be when you're paying that much

I had the worst cocktail i've ever had there. It tasted a bit like a pine car air freshner, and cost about £100,000

None of their cocktails on the menu were really very nice, but they can make a 'normal' one fine. Rummer shits all over it imo tho

There is no relation between this:

if you ... make investments in gold etc for financial security ... you are now an extremist and in the words of the FBI "a danger to local law enforcement officers"

and

this:

from the article
".... believe the United States went bankrupt by going off the gold standard...."

I agree with the 2nd statement, but the first one is a bit 

but no, i haven't watched all the videos

I only got as far as the first 15mins, and didn't hear anything about gold.
I wish i understood more of the economic gibberish, it seemed like the guy was talking sense, but when you can only understand 25% of it, it's hard to tell

Im in a similar boat, got old fashioned lead light windows that are leaking all around the lead work. They are in curved bays as well, just to make it interesting (and extra expensive)
 Seems it'd be just as expensive to have the windows re-leaded in the traditional style as it would be to have them replaced with double glazing. I really don't want plastic windows as they're horrible, but would quite like the extra insulation of double glazing.

 

that's one of the best names for a clubnight i've ever heard!

I'd end up so conflicted between my own strongly held values and beliefs and the general will of the populace that I'd end up a useless pile of jelly on the floor

Yeah, realistically I'd probably end up in the same boat. But until I have to face that reality I'm pretty sure i'd save the world and make everything better.

Capping profits and wages at a sensible amount would be one place i'd start.

 The Cube. Saturday 

Well looking forward to this, I don't go to the cube often enough!

Incidently TKO, that's the best Mayoral summary I've seen. Should have been distributed ao all households.

 
Would love to see the look on an old granny's face as she reads "almost definitely a freemason lizard"

Had a panic in the polling booth when faced with a long list of people i didn't want in charge and tried to figure out who to vote for to deny the worst getting in power. Since everyone's either been saying "vote for fergs to stop labour", or "vote for marti to avoid redtrousers" - wtf do you do if you don't want either of them! nearly had a breakdown until i decided it probably wasn't worth stressing about

What's George Ferguson's actual policies then?  It's not really apparent from his website.

i don't really believe he has any. It's all wishy washy marketing speak. It's all what he wants to do with no indication that he has any idea how he'd do it

Crack magazine seem to be behind him running with a picture of Massive Attack with him. Who are also supporting him they say.

Don't believe the hype! he's just got the slickest press/marketing team. He's put out shitloads more publicity than the other candidates, almost all of it deceptively using that Post headline from months ago (but reprinting it to omit the date so it looks current) claiming him to be the bookies fav.
It's that kind of sneakyness that makes me distrust him, and fear he will put his own and his buddies' business interests first. I'm not quite sure what the merchant venturers are, but i don't like the sound of them.

Everyone I know that has worked at the tobacco factory hates him, and says he's a despicable person to be around, that's enough for me.

August said HMP Wolds had "clear weaknesses", with poor behaviour and high levels of drug use

 

number 11??? shit, i must have missed a few.

i struggle to see how pig destroyer could be conducive to nookie, except for maybe that cheerleader one...

i guess i just have yet to meet the right girl

look forward to giving this a listen tomoz 

Which castle was severely damaged by smoke in the 1990's



...Roy.

   ahh i do love a shit joke

This thread made my week! Pisslexic, you're a hero.

I have no sandwich girl to aim my amorous intentions at...

COUGH...Jasmine...cough cough. uhmmmm. hmm.

I'll start looking for a job at the watershed then 

oooOooooh is this at stb?

This thread made my week! Pisslexic, you're a hero.

 
 I have admittedly been lurking around the thread like a pervy uncle, not saying anything, just looking. But it certainly is a heart warming tale, and quite inspirational for someone in a similar boat. Similar in that im single, and find it impossible to ask girls out. Completely unsimilar in that I have no sandwich girl to aim my amorous intentions at...

The ticket is re-scanned the next day for your second day's entry, so there's no problem with handing it to someone else to use the next day.
The tickets won't work more than once in the same day though obviously

Just incase the good people of Hijack haven't heard already...

Plus outside there'll be a massive bar/chillout/marquee  & smoking area. Plus hot tubs and inflatable fun!

10pm - 4am

Its £25 a ticket, which - before I get jumped on by the hijack price police - I know is alot, especially in comparison to the ultra cheap weekend ticket, but we're not trying to spin a quick profit on you, its just expensive to put this on at the mansion! If you just think of it as £55 for the whole weekend festival & afterparty then that's still bloody cheap

corks on cotham hill is pretty good

 

that's a bloody long article, i was quite enjoying it when i gave up and just started skimming down towards the end. Finding this snippet has made me really want to finish reading it properly:

"That was the lesson of Coki’s set at Belvedere’s Ultra-Dive on Butler Street in Pittsburgh one Wednesday night. The last time I had been to the venue, the world-renowned noise duo Lightning Bolt had filled the space with a screeching, claustrophobic din that was produced, improbably, by a single drummer and bass player. It was the sound of someone tuning a radio into armageddon.

By contrast, Coki delivered the sound of that same radio listener settling into the aftermath of armageddon: zero history and zero panic, just a timeless frequency so simple and so large as to fill up the entire room, to fill one's entire existence for an hour or two."

I think Poppy (Basserize on here (i think?)) was selling one, not sure if she shifted it, she's already onsite tho...

boomtown ticket sold

as it says on the tin. face value or as near as poss. All offers considered  

Managed to get a big crew on this at the weekend, loads of mates from cornwall & london now coming up for this 

  It's not just a bristol thing anymore! 

I think the world is going to become 1 big environmental disaster movie starring pierce brosnan and tom cruise within 20 years. It's gonna be like speed2 b2b dante's peak with more rain.

what are beardymans shows like these days? havn't seen him in a coupla years now, is he doing a cookery show?

The improv stuff I saw him do at the Cube was very good. When I've seen him doing DJ style set. Going through jungle, D&B hip hop etc it's been pretty dull, with occasional amusement. I think it bored Bangface to death a few years ago.

I think he's brought it back to the more experimental, nonsensical and amusing side after going too far into the middle of the road a couple of years ago 

where's 1, 2 & 3? i listened to 1, but never downlaoded, and evidently missed 2&3 completely
