    Flaws? What do you mean?[/quote:2alokcf4]

    Too many patients, not enough beds is the most common complaint I hear from my mum. Also, wards closing/moving/etc. and all that.

    I dislike my knack for having a somewhat large vocabulary, and being able to use the words correctly and understanding their context, but not being able to define ANYTHING. I really struggle, despite being able to use the words…

    now i’m applying for NHS jobs in UK[/quote:1fb847tj]
    My mum is a nurse for the NHS.

    She enjoys it, but it has a lot of flaws. Particularly if you work in a hospital, like she does.

    i find it hard to believe that someone has never been in one.[/quote:2h41ujjd]
    I’ve been in one, but I’ve never bought anything from it.

    If my new band was to release anything in the future we sure would do everything by ourselves.[/quote:2iur10vk]
    Don’t rule out labels completely – there are plenty of minor record labels that DON’T fuck over the band/fans, and give you a great platform to release music from.

    Saw a red dwarf complete box set recently too……hmm[/quote:3vxovfk0]

    What, and you didn’t buy it? You complete and utter smeghead!

    in reply to: Recommend a band #16829

    Okay, a couple of bands I’ve listened today that are really very good.

    First off, Hum. They make quite wonderful music – it sort of approaches rock music, but doesn’t quote reach it, in a good way. If I remember :lol: Go listen to their album ‘You’d Prefer An Astronaut’

    Secondly, Album Leaf. They’re kind of a cross between Sigur Ros and some awesome poppy electronic stuff thrown in as well. As well as a little bit of weirdness. Go listen to ‘In A Safe Place’ like, now! There are some good seeders there, I started it this afternoon, finished it within a couple of hours!

    Hey guys – a little advice for searching for stuff to download on the tubes.

    On google, search [album title] site:blogspot[dot]com

    Sometimes add the band’s name as well, if the album name is too vague.

    You can try other sites as well, but the sheer number of music sharing blogs is ridiculous – I’ve managed to find a good number of rare albums that way. But it’s not guaranteed, by the way.

    Ah, Bangkok. That makes sense.

    in reply to: Post your thoughts #11520

    D:

    The London Astoria is being closed down!

    That place was a legendary venue, and it’s being demolished to build another fucking underground station.

    Fuck, my first gig was there! :(

    in reply to: Can someone be nice & help me get SP music? #31030

    ok so if I come across the save link as.. where does the link go for me to grab the music? Or am I just saving it to my pc and not my itunes. Can I get it to itunes. Oh this becomes rather tedious sometimes..until ya know how to do it :P[/quote:14q37h4v]

    It saves it to your computer. And stuff on your iTunes is already in your computer, just under a specific folder.

    You could always use it as an interesting plate?[/quote:2hlah7t7]

    very true. or coaster.[/quote:2hlah7t7]

    CDs are ideal coasters. 12" vinyls are far too big to be a coaster, unfortunately.

    in reply to: Can someone be nice & help me get SP music? #31027

    that site never works for me with downloading any of it. I don’t have the save target option. It always pulls up quicktime player for me and nowhere on right click to save :(
    IT SUCKS!!!
    But I am ever grateful to Dazey for some Smashing tunes and a few others ;)
    THANKS GUYS[/quote:2xwrkoxs]

    What browser are you using? It could be ‘save link as…’ ‘save target as…’ ‘save as…’ or whatever. You should have the option there no matter which browser!

    in reply to: Can someone be nice & help me get SP music? #31023

    My work computer won’t let me access that website, and this is the computer that has all my music. Sorry man.[/quote:3ezf53sf]

    Ah, fair enough.

    in reply to: Can someone be nice & help me get SP music? #31021

    Its a free instant messenger.

    http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/s … wnloading/

    It sends files really fast.

    And if you are at work like me, it’ll work and I have a watchdog type thing.[/quote:37er1q86]

    Don’t bother with that – just upload the files (in a handy .zip folder) onto something like mediafire.com, and then post the download link. Saves a lot of hassle on everyone’s part.

    in reply to: Post your Desktop pic #21488

    haha, you’re absolutely right… but the "dark side" is so stroooong :lol:[/quote:3msso3za]

    What dark side? The ‘MSN’ program it installs is utterly pointless. That shortcut is actually just a wast of space, as is what it links to.

    in reply to: Post your Desktop pic #21484

    @manilla: you should clean up your desktop ;)[/quote:1k04wsz3]

    So should you! I mean, who uses the MSN installer?

    in reply to: Post your thoughts #11503

    I get the feeling that the Aphex Twin CDs I ordered just now are going to arrive before the Aphex Twin torrent I’m downloading finishes…

    in reply to: Other great discography sites #30898

    http://www.discogs.com/

    discogs.com is pretty good – allows you to check the discographies of loads of bands, but they aren’t necessarily extensive, unfortunately.

    in reply to: what did you listen to today #27517

    This Will Destroy You – Young Mountain

    It (finally) arrived in the post today. It’s fucking awesome.

    in reply to: Post your Desktop pic #21474

    here’s a dumb question..How do you take a picture of your desktop? what button do I push? I’m on a windows vista if that matters
    Thanks[/quote:hbfks6dw]

    "Print Screen"

    Usually located above "Insert"

    Once print screened, go to image editing application of your choice (MSpaint is all you really need for this) and press Ctrl+V. Then save.

    30 euros?!
    That’s worth 600 in my currency :shock:.[/quote:32ws7019]

    Pounds, not euros.

    in reply to: Post your thoughts #11494

    Why do rare CDs cost so much, even when no-one’s heard of the band :(

    Case in point – City Of Caterpillar’s debut/only album can be bought on amazon for £30+

    It’s only 7 tracks as well…
