Muse are Queen wanabees and as such, I'm out.

[MK Chris]

Nooo - that was The Darkness, Muse are far better than that.

[Bonanzoid]

Agreed Tofu, but Boboff has a point. There's one new song in particular that is just them trying to be Queen. I still like it though, not as bad an album as I was expecting.

[Boboff]

Muse are better than the Darkness, agreed. Muse are one of those bands you never really think you like, but when you hear the montage's they put on recently you kind of go, "oh yeah, I quite like these"

They're the I almost downloaded this from I-tunes type band.

[josepi]

I think I probably prefer their older stuff but some of the new album is pretty good, but you're damn right, you have to give it a couple of listens! But overall, Muse are great.

Also making me smile today: dunno if anyone else has noticed this or if its been mentioned on here before, but when listening to the show on 'listen again', I noticed that the sound guage goes up to 11. A-mazing.

[Latina]

There's only one song on the new album that sounds like Queen, and within that song there are only parts of it that sound like Queen (whereas the rest sounds very much like Muse). I don't get why so many people are latching onto that and declaring "Muse have become Queen".

I must admit though, it hasn't impressed me as much as Black Holes & Revelations did.

[Lactating Man Nips]

Isn't it just a lot of wailing? I mean a constant anthemic wail with a wall-of-sound backdrop. This is what I find of their released singles which put me off digging deeper.

Just seen an advert with Peter Jones scooting around on the back the of a shopping trolley

Then it'll be sofa time as I watch Leigh Francis's 'Chamone' tribute to Michael Jackson at 10pm on E4, it's gona be proper Bo!

Oh, I watched this last night and it was hilarious. I couldn't help feeling guilty about some of the parts I laughed at, but it was brilliantly done. As Chris said this morning, the pisstakes were not malicious and it did end up something akin to a genuine tribute.

Seeing a butchers van with the slogan 'A sausage a day keeps the doctor away' ............... only in Norfolk

[Lactating Man Nips]

You sure you're not living by "a joint a day keeps the doctor away". Otherwise v.funny.

[McGuinness-89]

Aled's incredible lack of common sense.Do you think he says some of the things he does for comedy affect or is he really that dim.

Nope - thats definately what it said!

[MK Chris]

Aled's incredible lack of common sense.Do you think he says some of the things he does for comedy affect or is he really that dim.

Neither. He does it for comedy effect.

[McGuinness-89]

Who says your pedantic.

[Zoot]

Who says your pedantic.

His pedantic is what?

[Lactating Man Nips]

Nah, If he was a pedant he would have said 'comedic effect' . Shirley.

[MK Chris]

Good point. I'm a bad pedant.

[Yudster]

Aled's incredible lack of common sense.Do you think he says some of the things he does for comedy affect or is he really that dim.

Neither. He does it for comedy effect.

Sometimes he does, but I have the horribly depressing feeling that all that nonsense about the cookies and the "blender" (which was a hand whisk, and also totally unnecessary for making cookies) and the "how is it cheaper to cook at home" stupidity was actually genuine. If he didn't have a job which paid enough to support a lifestyle where you never eat in I don't think he would survive - but the really sad thing is that he doesn't seem to realise it! Bless him though, at least he tried! I reckon they should send Jamie Oliver round to sort him out like he did Chris.

[pjordan2000]

Am just getting ready for my 10k run this morning at Leeds Castle. Probably won't be smiling later tho...

[pjordan2000]

Thank you.

It didn't though... Finished in 1hr 4mins which was 12mins over my personal best. Believe there is a Bluewater 10k coming up so will give that a go instead

[catherine]

I've had a very productive cooking weekend. I made american pancakes for the first time and ate bacon and pancakes together for the first time. I also made my own bread for the first time and soon I will make a victoria sponge cake and later pizza dough for tonights dinner.

[MK Chris]

I was going to put that in here, but forgot... der. The pancakes were amazing and the bread is very very nice. I'm looking forward to dinner!

[Johnny 1989]

My PC is fixed, hurrah, seems that my other mate who redone it last time, forgot to get half of the files needed for the Mother Board causing a "power surge", should be all fine now

[Yudster]

............. and ate bacon and pancakes together for the first time ...........

Try it with maple syrup - good quality maple syrup so there's a distinct flavour as well as it just being sweet, not like the stuff they flog in McDonalds. Its an unexpected taste sensation dontcha know?
