yes this is getting ridiculous

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 11:34 (twenty-two years ago)

But it would seem no one cares.

IT MUST BE PREVENTED FROM GOING UP AT ALL COSTS!

I'm doing a week of focus groups for school children in sparsely populated areas of western scotland.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 12:18 (twenty-two years ago)

everyone already knows you gave a jovial two thumbs-up to Westlife's 'Mandy' DC

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 12:19 (twenty-two years ago)

in fact there may have been mention of "best song ever, even westlife can't ruin it" or similar...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 12:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sure I didn't say "best song ever"... did I?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 12:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Even if you didn't we can make everyone believe you did. Bwahaha.

i have a photographic memory and while my black shirt and red tie captivated most of you as you drank your egg nog and fondled your exotic hats i can assure you Matt did not refer to 'Mandy' as 'best song ever', not even when that pack of geese wandered in halfway through 'Milkshake'

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 13:28 (twenty-two years ago)

(cos he only gave it EIGHT out of a possible ten)

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 13:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, I think I might have said something along the lines of "even Westlife can't ruin it" in my response.

I worry about myself sometimes, between that and voting Busted the best record.

Mr Cowpat, meet your spiritual twin.

I gave Mandy a 7.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Pink 0, Basement Jaxx 1,
Scissor Sisters 2, Out Kast 5.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 13:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry, is this the thing where singles get reviewed? How does it work exactly?

― dog latin (dog latin), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 13:55 (twenty-two years ago)

i gave Mandy 0 but perhaps this was harsh as it isn't actually that bad a song at all (tho the performers in this case were, and not a patch on Barry Karaoke)

Jaxx got 10+Joker from me of course. Magnus reserved his for Katie Melua iirc.

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 13:55 (twenty-two years ago)

ozzy and kelly (8.5 + Joker)

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 13:58 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm sure people can guess what won by a mile

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 14:10 (twenty-two years ago)

"Hey Ya"?

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 14:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Mrs Beckham?

"Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 14:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I found what I actually said:

"I'm going to contradict myself here, and say why shouldn't teenage girls want to be middle aged if it means more records like this get made? Westlife don't do anything to it, but it's a great song. C'mon, you know it is. It *is*. Trust me. 8/10."

And on Busted:

"I love Busted. There, I said it. OK, this is a partial retread of "What I Go To School For", and those waah-a-waah keyboard screeches in the chorus will be embarrassing in a couple of years time, but LIVE IN THE NOW, YOU FOOLS. Expect tears in our house when the inevitable happens and Charlie leaves and the band split up. The kids might be upset by that news as well. Give this as many jokers as they can carry in their lovely tiny little hands. 9/10."

I fully expect you to have commented in a similar vein, Mr DC.

If people are interested in pointless lists Do You See has started the Freaky Trigger 100 Best Films In The World...Ever...2003, which should be over by September.

There is an article on the best 40 films of last year on the ediotrs hard drive too.

I was suprised to notice that though my 10s went to the obvious suspects (Sugababes, Outkast), my joker went to underline Mandy's shitness. Not just zero, but double zero! Take that, Westlife!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 17:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I would've done this if I'd known I had four months to finish it!
