    If ye want Borknagar to tour, post here!!!

    It was at the Palladium downstairs... naturally, Ihsahn said "What's up, Wor-chester?" I think Simen got the pronunciation right. Interestingly, Divine Empire, who are American, addressed the audience as "Wor-chester" as well. :lol:

    If ye want Borknagar to tour, post here!!!

    Didn't any of you see Borknagar on their U.S. tour with Emperor several years back? Sheesh, some people have short memories! :lol: I remember that tour well... First, we had Divine Empire, who had two death metal vocalists--yet they sounded EXACTLY the same. Next up, I think, was...

    Things you hate about Ireland

    Ballykissangel. The lack of forests. Or even woods. Or even two fucking trees within a mile of each other. The Cult of The Beautiful People in Temple Bar and all along the Liffey. Superstitious country folk who REALLY DO believe in ghosts and fucking goblins. Medieval attitudes...

    Is hunting ethical?

    I respect both sides of this issue. I don't understand people who eat meat but are anti-hunting, though. It's okay to confine animals in pens and slaughter them, but hunting an animal in the wild (whose odds of survival are much better, obviously) is wrong?

    The Norse: not the last pagans in Europe!

    It is astonishing to think that Lithuania was not converted to Christianity until 1410 (officially), and that the populace kept their pagan beliefs for two-three centuries afterwards in rural areas. I have even read one article that asserted the continuance of pagan beliefs in rural parts of...

    I hate idealistic young leftists

    Few things are more annoying, indeed more loathsome, than the idealistic young left-winger. They are found in America, the UK, Australia, and also in continental Europe. Invariably the product of affluence... Here are some ways in which you might identify them: --Che Guevara t-shirts...

    Steven Seagal Stories

    My brother worked in a restaurant. One night who but Stevie Seagal walked in. He a was a right cunt to my brother. My brother wanked in Stevie's dinner. True story. Never piss off the waitstaff.

    American groups/artists versus British groups/artists

    Largely correct, Mick, though I'm not convinced the state of music's any healthier in the UK. Unless you rate the likes of Coldplay... :err: Time for a Skyclad marathon.

    American groups/artists versus British groups/artists

    Britain vs. USA vs. Ireland, though: the UK still wins, but who wins the battle for second place? Let's see... USA: Hendrix, Slayer, Morbid Angel, Dylan, Faith No More, Agnostic Front, Cro-Mags, Misfits/Samhain/Danzig, Ramones, early Aerosmith, Blue Cheer, Trouble, Saint Vitus, The Obsessed...

    American groups/artists versus British groups/artists

    Britain wins (well, England wins, unless you rate the Manic Street Preachers and Big Country), although there are good groups from the U.S. That said, Britain's musical growth has come almost to a standstill after the mid-70s, barring a few good underground metal acts. Britain produces THE...

    Bruder Cle is the coolest man in the world.

    I thought you should know that.

    Do you believe in God (or a 'higher power'?)

    The percentage of educated, otherwise intelligent people who believe in God is astonishing. How can this be, in the year 2004? Something like 95% of Americans believe in the existence (and continued presence) of God... so it isn't just the toothless, Bible-thumbing twats in Alabama...

    Would you eat human flesh?

    We're all nice people here and we'd never do anything illegal to obtain it ;) but would you--in theory--try human flesh if the opportunity were presented to you? The people who so famously crashed in the Andes in the 70s survived on the flesh of dead passengers, and they claimed it tasted...

    What's your favourite part of England?

    Yup, that was me. When I was mugged in Toxteth, the fucking bandits took my jacket, my wallet, and had the nerve to take my shoes. Probably so I couldn't chase 'em. Pretty clever for a mong duo. Toxteth is THE ugliest place in Britain (literally and otherwise)-- and if you've been to...
