MTV website has changed!

Haha. Weren't he a southerner who only went up there for uni, and dropped out pretty early?

who was this other tink?

i remember when you worked in a library and were embarrassed by it

I started November 2002.

Ouch.

I can't remember her username - it weren't just Tinkerbell, was it Tink? I remember the confusion between the two when I first joined. Weren't it then you added the Barat after instead, like the daft Libs fan you were (are?).

Are you the current regular with the longest serving tenure then, KDL?

I was early 2005. I remember having tried to access the forums earlier, but my old computer just couldn't.

The first boardie who talked to me was Chuzelwit.

In a library? I never worked in one

Do you mean bookshop?

I was indeed a daft Libs fan I WAS NINETEEN! First I was Tink*Nicholls, then I was Tink*Barat, then I was Tink*Peel and then had to become Tinkapeel.

God Pete Doherty is a knob.

tinkhansen too.

i could've sworn you worked in a library. maybe i'm thinking of some other insomniac bookworm.

Oh, and i was Black Sky Pink Stars.

And nobody ever called me a noob.

Age is no excuse! I remember when Amy tried to send me some of their tracks on MSN when I must've been about 18 and responding in near-violent levels.

*is glad his music taste has always been nigh on brilliant*

OMG Tink*Hansen yes! Oh lord. I went on another board too around that time called Mrs Hansen, which prompted the question why was I so obsessed with Alan Hansen.

I remember Black Sky Pink Stars! OMG! That's YOU?!

Shush SK, you like Oasis.

Though Ginwai, I was probably miserable and working a bookshop. Most of my uni time 2003-2004 were spent being miserable.

yes that's me

So it was nothing to do with Stan Hansen.....?

Didn't you used to quote a lotta Cure, SR?

i did! Oh my god, i remember now that i was always posting lyrics!

how annoying.

I swear your english was better back then XD

See...all manner of irrelevent crap on message boards, I can remember. Anything else, I'm a fucking sieve.

I just had to google Stan Hansen.

Odd internet coincidence of the day: The girl who used to host my favourite Beck website is now my favourite food blogger.

Certainly

I'm losing it since i stopped university, it's breaking my heart.

I don't like odd Internet coincidences. Least of all when they bridge the gap between net and IRL.

Well I didn't expewct you to know who he is.

how the hell did Oasis win Best British Band at the NME awards?

actually, i'll answer that myself. there are no other half decent British bands around.

And everyone at the NME is deaf.

I was shocked at that. The new album's not even that good. Then I laughed that a room full of n00b pretenders who boo'd them for both recieving the award and for not even bothering to turn up to accept it. Saying that, on the basis of albums released and seeing an absolutely amazing live show by 'em, I'd have given it to the Charlatans...
