Dave Gorman looks/sounds rather funny. Should I attempt to check him out?

Whatever floats your boat

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]:eek:

He did the whole campaign to find as many people called Dave Gorman as possible. Then he lived by his horoscopes for weeks to see if it made a difference.[/QUOTE]

I loved the one where it said "Suprise an old friend", so he got a washing machine box, knocked on the door then hid in the box.

His friend opened the door and he popped out saying "Suprise!" and offering a hug.

It then went back to the studio, where he said

"This was not the best time to find that my friend had moved house."

Ill look out for it on friday. Err, tommorrow. Though im spending far too much money again this month

Now im off to vote. With the polling station just across the road. I love being lazy

THAT is frickin hysterical. Okay, that settles it. I have to at least check this guy out a little bit.

I knew there had to be some advantage to going to a convent school: Lie ins on holy days :D School started at 1045 today :p

Its a holy day?

Aparently so!

I think it's ascension day? (which I can't even spell) but I may be wrong and I only know that by chance...

James: just read your entry from last nights gig- glad you had a good time lucky bastard :lol: you seem to be being lucky with stuff at gigs this week....:angry:

edit: oooh if I do about 5 more posts in a row I might rival *isitaggro?* and piss off Brew! :D

Yeah, it's Ascension day apparently. Nice of them to make the election the same day.

I found it rather humorous the other day when I learnt Tony Blair's birthday is infact tomorow

I guess you, Ben and Bob are the only ones here old enough to actually vote :lol:
*possibly James*

Next year for me

Which ones are Ben and Bob and James?

[QUOTE=ChodaBoy]Next year for me[/QUOTE]

There may be some kind of election. Just not a general election.

Yeah, the local elections are what I meant to type

Big voting turnout in my area. The labour candidate was harassing people at the door but was really struggling for effort.

Plus our area is such a Conservative stronghold i think he knows it was pointless.

Did you kick him in the shins?

:lol:

My mate had some leaflet shoved in her hand while walking home from school the other day: thick candidate didn't realise school uniform=unable to vote :lol:

[QUOTE=Bartender]Did you kick him in the shins?[/QUOTE]

I think he was suffering enough. One of the other stations had a Veritas candidate. That would have called for some shin kicking.

I have my first AS exam tomorrow :eek:

Music Tech Structured Commentry...

Woo.

Have fun with that :)

I could make a post of all the stuff I need to remember for it.

Thats pretty much it, I need to remember a few more Bar numbers though :)

Hey, Adam, I wanted to show someone that Hulk avatar you had, but then you changed to the clinking beer mugs one! What gives?

/anger

I had a feeling I was spelling the poor dudes name wrong.

The thing is though....its hardly an exam, we've been given a past paper and been told [B]exactly[/B] what to write in the real exam, its just a case of remembering it all.

Oh, hi, Med. You're currently number 7 on my compatability list, I believe, on RYM.

That, or it's another Radiohead/Muse obsessed Medopalis...
