I agree about the first two Stereophonics albums being ace and the rest being pretty shite.

[SAV1OUR]

I went through a phase early this year where I couldn't stop listening to their early stuff, almost obsessed, I loved the carefree vibes, they really floated my boat - 'Decade in the Sun'. I bought it coz someone told me thats what they wanted for their birthday - not the greatest hits, but the latest stuff, he must be a hardcore fan!

Very sad about the drummer, keep calm and carry on.

[Johnny 1989]

Oh no, another taken from us at too young an age, I agree their earlier stuff was much better, Dakota was their only good modern one. RIP Stuart Cable

[Sidders]

Yeah, Stuart Cable was a legend, RIP. I remember Moyles always used to refer to him as Animal, as in the Muppet, because he played drums and slightly resembled him.

[Nicola_Red]

Writer and artist Sebastian Horsley was found dead today, aged 47. He co-wrote The Decadent Handbook, which I love. Oh no.

[Nicola_Red]

And another...comedian Frank Sidebottom has died today. I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple years ago - very nice chap. Oh no

[SAV1OUR]

Thats very sad, I remember him at Salford Lads Club last year promoting Fifa10 with Wayne Rooney.

It's a proper oh no.

For those that didn't know, Frank Sidebottom also worked with Mark & Lard on BBC Radio 5:



I have to say I didn't really know much about him I'm afraid, except for the papiermache mask

[Nicola_Red]

My pet rat Alfie passed away last nite. He was old and didn't suffer but I'm still very sad. RIP Alfie.

[Yudster]

Bless - I'm sure he had a brilliant life Nic. I may get some more rats, haven't had any for years. I almost bought a couple of girlie rats last week when I only went to the shop to get a new filter for the fish tank..........I resisted, but only just. One of them looked just like Alfie.

[CassieJackson]

Oh no! RIP Alfie. My friend has rats and I find them to be very good company.

[John22]

Aw, sorry to hear Nic. My friend has two, both named after political leaders...

[Nicola_Red]

Thanks guys He did have a pretty good life - the fact he's eating a piece of marinated tofu in that pic should be a clue as to how spoiled he was! I will be getting some more in a week or two, rats are such great pets, and all have different personalities. I'm getting better at dealing with it when they die, but it is always upsetting.

[foot-loose]

How many have you gone through?!

[DevilsDuck]

I bet its not as many hamsters and tubes as we went though the other night........

[Nicola_Red]

In the eight years I've been keeping pet rats I've had five - two of which were at the same time. They live about two years.

[Johnny 1989]

Sorry to hear about your pet rat Alfie

[C-Kay]

Raoul Moat and Gazza's sanity

[foot-loose]

Oh no!

[Bonanzoid]

What's going with Gazza? Had a wee look on BBC but couldn't find anything.

[Yudster]

He's preparing to take over as England manager. Well if that loony can do it at Argentina, why not?

[Bonanzoid]

Hahahahahaha, really? Holy feck, I hope the FA hire him.

Bet he'll be riding a Segway to Heaven...

(I know I did this joke on Twitter, I just like it alot...)

[Yudster]

Its a bizarre story. Chris mentioned it first thing this morning, he knew Jimmi and sounded proper shocked - as I guess will be everyone who knew him.

Oh No.
