Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned,
I burped at the table and then broke wind.
It seemed to be such fun at the time
That I thought I'd wrap it up in a rhyme.

Do you hear the people fart?
Farting a song of flatulence.
It is the rumblings of a people
Whose wind is their incense.


Oh, sorry, I misunderstood the title.

I think it was Noel Coward who said "Extraordinary how potent cheap music is". I was a big fan of Abba when I was still at school, though to have admitted so would have invited much bigger and less musically eclectic boys to flush your head down the lavvy.

Fact is, history has vindicated me. Abba are musical legends, but where are Black Oak Arkansas? Nowhere, that's where.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I was a Neil Diamond fan too. I thought Cracklin' Rosie was brilliant (I was about 13 at the time), and when I had the band, it was one of our standards, a real crowd pleaser at the working mens clubs.

Say what you like about Neil, he has stood the test of time.

I've admitted to my Hanson problem before on here but every time I stumble across the song, as I did last night, I keep thinking what a good piece of "pop" it is. I agree with you about Abba, Malc---my only problem with them was their outfits. Truly appalling.

The first 'record' I ever owned was an LP called 'The Best Of Danny Kaye'. It was bought for me at the age of nine, and it was inspirational.

The second LP I bought myself. It was 'Songs Of Eurovision (not original artists)'. It was slightly less inspirational, but I really liked it. I was still nine.

I went to see Jethro Tull in concert at the Munich Olympic Stadium in 1980. My brother was working over there at the time, and I took him out a brand new Scotland football shirt (issued on the market only the day before I travelled) for his birthday, just as our national squad was setting out on their successful campaign to qualify for the Spanish World Cup Finals in '82. My brother wore the shirt to the concert, and was spotted by Jethro Tull's roadies while we had a schnitzel at one of the the venue's cafeterias. "Whaur did ye get that?" he was asked. "You're aboot ma size - how much d'ye want fur it?"

"Sorry!" said my brother. "It's a birthday present from my brother - he brought it over for me just today. It's not for sale."

The words damned near choked him, but I was ever so proud. The concert was excellent, but I couldn't help thinking it would have been even better if Ian Anderson was standing on one leg in the middle of the massive stage, playing his flute... and wearing the brand new Scotland shirt.

You do this by selecting it with the mouse (make the text go blue background) and choose EDIT > COPY.

3. Paste it into the post by writing something and then on a new line choose EDIT > PASTE.

Quite simply you should just select the URL displayed in the address bar and copy it to your clipboard, (temporarily, of course). Paste that copied URL into the text panel for responding on the thread in the relevant forum (on the Beau Peep site). Mince has made it simpler so that you don't need to select, copy and paste different code to embed the YouTube clip (as we previously had to); neither do you have to add "html" and "/html" within square brackets, so the exercise is now quite straightforward.

If you mean the band Jethro Tull, it's my sad duty to inform you that the singer/writer and flute player is Ian Anderson. No Jethro Tull actually exists in the band itself.

However if you mean the agriculturist Jethro Tull, inventor of the seed drill, the news is even worse. There is definitely no album of his that you can play.

Title: Re: Musical Confessions.
Post by: Malc on June 13, 2008, 01:21:42 PM
Roger, I realise that this will take time, but slow and steady...

first you have to know that so-called BB code allows you to use the square brackets -[  ] (top right of the main keyboard) to copy and paste stuff.

if you stick those brackets outside the letters "img" you can copy and paste an image.

if you stick the brackets outside the word "quote" you can copy and paste a quote.

The problem is that if we actually write an example of the code, it WILL activate, so we have to deliberately write the code wrongly when we want to demonstrate it to an imbecile esteemed colleague.
Example:
If I want to copy and paste "Billy Big Bot eats snails a lot" I have to highlight it and paste it within these two square bracketed words- 
Quote
Billy Big Bot eats snails a lot
.
Note that the SECOND bracket has a back slash in front of the word "quote" . Also note that I left a gap between that back slash and the actual word. The code is now activated.
The good news is you don't really have to concern yourself with all this, as the menu above does it all for you. Just highlight a sentence and click on the "B" top left and the code will surround the sentence making it Bold

Now, using EXACTLY THE SAME PRINCIPLE go to the site which is showing the You Tube video, and highlight the URL up in the address bar, then copy it (Ctrl C)

Then, pull up this site, click on "reply" and in the reply box click "Ctrl V" The URL will appear there. You also have to write a little message to accompany it otherwise an error message will come up saying there's nothing there, but the video should load automatically - no square boxes needed, this site is configured to play videos without us entering BB code.

Title: Re: Musical Confessions.
Post by: The Peepmaster on June 13, 2008, 01:33:15 PM
I understand Mince has configured the board so that BB code may not be necessary in this instance, Malc. By all means use the term "html" (without inverted commas) in square brackets to precede and follow the code you should use to embed the trailer, (not forgetting the forward-slash before the second "html") - (remove those inverted commas too). The clip should then definitely show. It may well show if you use the URL only, as Mince has altered the rules relating to coding requirements. Simply pasting the address, (or Uniform Resource Locator), therefore might display the image, but usually just gives a hyperlink and doesn't look so professional, particularly when it is possible to have the embedded feature by displaying the code in a simple fashion going by the instructions above. (You can hide a Uniform Resource Locator by using square brackets, and masking it with a description by the way. It usually highlights in blue, and provides the link elegantly. Go on - try it!

Jeez, there's some rubbish talked about greatest goals. The Brazilian goal in that clip is the far superior goal, no question.

If you want to see the greatest goal scored in an international, just type "Nelinho v italy" into You Tube"

Greatest Scottish player ever? Jimmy Johnstone. Most underrated Scottish player? Gary MacAllister. Most overrated Scottish player? Charlie Nicholas.

Most underrated Man U player ever? Denis Irwin.
Most overrated Man U player ever? Brian Robson

Greatest player of all time?

Is it Pele? No.
Is it Maradona? No
Is it George Best? No.

It's that wonderful Dutchman, Johann Cruyff. If you have any doubts, check out his stuff on You Tube. No-one with the exception of maybe Jinky or Paul Gascoigne ever came close.
Title: Re: Musical Confessions.
Post by: Tarquin Thunderthighs lll on June 14, 2008, 04:24:27 PM
The Nelinho goal was spectacular, Malc, but it doesn't even come close to this, which in my opinion, is the greatest goal I've ever seen, by a mile, and sadly overshadowed by the 'other one' in the game, for reasons of no greatness whatsoever.

This is pure magic. I swear he waltzes past the same players twice on his stroll to goal...

Woo. Strong stuff, Malc. Cruyff was a wonderful player, and he'd be in my top three, but to say that Pele didn't even come close is nonsense. (My own top five would be Pele, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Maradona and Best, with Charlton and Eusebio close behind).
While I understand your choice of Johnstone as best Scottish player, I would have to go for Baxter. The man was a one-footed drunk but what a player. The most underrated Scottish player---and Tarks will love this---was John Connolly. Had he played for either of The Old Firm, instead of St. Johnstone, he would have had 50 caps.

Pele was a great player in an era when the game was slower and many, many international sides weren't up to the standard of the Brazilians.
Cruyff was a contemporary of Pele, true, but he came later when the game became a repository of super-athletes. I still believe his personal achievements as a player were greater, though of course he never won World Cups. Pele's teammates never get the plaudits they deserve.

Don't forget, most football fans never saw Pele play except in one or two internationals they caught on TV. His reputation is based on the short grabs of wonderful stuff he did during games.

Maradona is also a great player, and if European trophies are the only yardstick, a much greater player than Pele. He was a great ball-juggler, but his real effectiveness was as a motivator for scared and volatile younger players. His goals against England in the Hand Of God game are shown time and again, but he handled one and it was actually Fenwick (o.g.) who scored the so-called Goal Of The Century (Fenwick is never likely to claim it).

I brought this latter goal up with a BBC radio presenter once live on air (I was  phone-in caller) and though he said he disagreed with me, he said he would go the archives and study the tape that night and annnounce his verdict the next day.

He did so, and admitted I was right.

I wish Maradona had played in the UK, because I think he stayed in Spain and Italy to be closer to the corruption and the drugs he needed to maintain his reputation.

... it was actually Fenwick (o.g.) who scored the so-called Goal Of The Century (Fenwick is never likely to claim it).


Sorry, I need to take this thread back again momentarily (I shan't keep you long). Malc, I've seen that goal hundreds of times and marvelled at it with each one. Of course, it's more about the route to goal than the final kick, but I scoffed when I read the above, and instantly wrote it off as McGookin-goes-controversial bluff and bluster.

I've watched it another couple of dozen times since then, from all the available angles, and **** me, you're right! It was Fenwick's desperate lunge that connected with the ball a split second before Maradonna followed through with his own leg. I'm absolutely staggered and stunned by this, and in an odd sort of way, I probably feel more cheated than Peter Shilton did after Diego's first goal.

Sorry - back to Roger's dodgy taste in music.

Tarks, the only way to be a successful professional curmudgeon is never to curmudge just for curmudging's sake. I have been banging on about Fenwick's o.g. for donkey's years, but only now has You Tube been available to back me up.

I remember the incident as I was watching the game and I was convinced Maradona would dive as Fenwick caught him. He didn't need to, as he saw the ball go in he decided to celebrate like it was his, the little....cheat.

Back on the subject. I am going to watch this Texas Tornadoes video and then curmudge to my heart's content.

You don't have to register with YouTube to hear the stuff, Roger.

No, but you have to to pass it on.

I've never ever signed-up/registered with YouTube. I think you have to if you want to leave a comment on a page. Doesn't stop you copying and pasting the URL of a page.

Well, when I clicked on "share", it asked me for various details connected with my registering.

Excellent, Tarquin. What they were showing, is an example of what might be on your computer screen, Roger. It doesn't actually show the YouTube page, but it could easily be.

Here's another one you might find useful

Tarquin was only warning RIGHT-HANDED watchers to beware; he wasn't having a go at anyone!  :P

Tarquin, you're an utter bastard and you know it.

That YouTube clip is way too technical for Roger.
