bovril Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 A good roast dinner is about 50% meat, 20% potatoes, 20% stuffing/yorkshire, 5% sweetcorn, 5% boiled veg You can bin the boiled veg off and barely notice it! Sweetcorn does not belong in a roast dinner. Apart from that, spot on.

I wish I knew this growing up so I could quote figures and argue against the massive amount of cabbage and brussels sprouts on my plate every Sunday. Instead I'm fvcking scarred for life.
Samilktray Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 I don't really think they're over or under rated, I just wanted to see your response This post has amused me

Where is all the roast veg? What are you heathens doing? Gotta have some roast carrots in there at least.
Guest MattP Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 My Sunday roast is about 45% meat 30% potatoes 20% Yorkshire and 5% veg. No idea why anyone would ruin a roast by taking up half a plate with veg.
kingcarr21 Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 Its not a roast dinner without honey roasted parsnips
Fox92 Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 There was plenty of good music before the Beatles. I'm not saying the Beatles didn't have any influence or didn't improve the state of the UK's pop music culture but they didn't save music like some people make out. Rock n' roll, blues and jazz have been around long before the Beatles - I hate it when people make out that the Beatles changed everything Yeah, there was plenty of good music - music which I like and music which influenced the Beatles - but not in this Country. The BBC wouldn't dare play Chuck Berry. Why do you think people like John Lennon and Paul McCartney had Rock 'n Roll sent over from America on ships? As for "I hate it when people make out the Beatles changed everything".. Let me think, and off the top of my head, here goes: The Beatles were the first British group to crack the States, opening the door to the 'British invasion'. They hated 'Beatlemania' and their rise through touring made them the first band to ever play in a stadium. Soon after they ****ed off touring in and became a studio band - some of their top work including 'Tomorrow Never Knows' and 'Eleanor Rigby' was written and released during this time. They made it acceptable to be a studio band. Released the first concept album with Sgt Peppers (bands such as the Kinks, the Small Faces, the Rolling Stones and the Beach Boys all did the same soon after). And talking of Sgt Peppers, it was the first album ever to feature the songs lyrics. Nowadays, every album includes the song lyrics in a booklet. They invented the Double A-side with 'Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out' (and months after other bands started rolling out double A-sides, particularly the Rolling Stones). They were the first band to record guitar feedback with 'I Feel Fine' - Hendrix, the Who, the Jam, Oasis later did the same. Lennon sang backwards on 'Rain' which was the first time it ever happened. Harrison played guitar backwards during the 'Revolver' sessions - again, the first time it ever happened. Harrison also played sitar on 'Norwegian Wood' which introduced Indian influence which the Byrds and the Rolling Stones later used. 'Ticket To Ride' was a milestone for music as it was so heavy critics called it a starting point of heavy metal. Hey Jude at more than 7 minutes long became the longest single to top the charts. Imagine a World where 'Layla' or 'American Pie' didn't exist! Lennon was so unhappy with the way the bass guitar sounded, an engineer had a new way of recording the instrument which was first used on 'Paperback Writer'. 'A Day In The Life' - which for some is the greatest song ever - was received as a "new type of song" - more complex than 'pop' and seen as unique. The BBC asked them to write a song for the first satellite broadcast ever - thus 'All You Need Is Love' was performed live in '68 to 26 Countries worldwide. In their nine year recording history, they never stagnated. Each album is different. Within four years they went from 'Love Me Do' to 'Tomorrow Never Knows'. Practically everyone on the planet is familiar with a Beatles song. They wrote some of the best songs ever. 'Revolver' is considered the greatest album of all time. Their influence is huge, Lennon and McCartney are the greatest partnership in musical history and they even wrote the Rolling Stones first single. You might not like the Beatles, I can accept that, but they are not overrated. No way. If you really 'hate that people make out the Beatles changed everything' I question whether you have listened closely to their discography or even listened to one of the their albums in full.
kingcarr21 Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 How much time will it take for your erection to go down?
RobHawk Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 Leap years! Just an extra day to work! The fact they put it in February is depressing too - although i realise makes no difference at all!

They were ok. Personally I preferred Bros and Kajagoogoo..'You're too shydy shy....'
Samilktray Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 I don't think there's a single thread topic Fox92 can't turn into a 'If you don't like the Beatles you're worse than Hitler' rant
ScouseFox Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 Where is all the roast veg? What are you heathens doing? Gotta have some roast carrots in there at least. agreed. carrots an parsnips an that. no shit veg like brussel sprouts or half a plate of raw/overdone broccoli but carrots are legit.
SystonFox Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 anyone who dies in the public eye receiving far too much recognition. i get it that Bowie was deemed a legend and "changed music forever" etc etc. But lets stop banging on about it. Death happens. (not just aimed at Bowie but it seems as soon as you die you're a hero?!) now that is controversial
GingerrrFox Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 what He's good but people go on like he's the second coming of Jesus. He's got **** all on Pele. Pele on today's pitches would really be something.

If you really 'hate that people make out the Beatles changed everything' I question whether you have listened closely to their discography or even listened to one of the their albums in full. Interestingly a few months back I downloaded pretty much their entire oeuvre using this logic, "hey they never get repetitive, unimaginative, or boring, right?" Turns out for every Eleanor Rigby there are 5 dull copy and paste wishy washy love song jobs that you have to skip to avoid mind-numbing tedium. Same thing goes for the Rolling Stones who are even worse at it.

Same thing goes for the Rolling Stones who are even worse at it. Bingo. I listened to two or three of their albums in full several years ago, was amazed at the amount of filler
ScouseFox Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 eleanor rigby is buried round the corner from my old house #scousefacts
RobHawk Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 the state of British journalism (especially in the sporting world) - every other article is complete shit! Add that to the fact that 98% of pundits are useless as well means theres a lot of shit out there and i for 1 am fed up of reading/listening to it.
SystonFox Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 people dying is well overrated i agree You'll be a hero when you do go. Probably by watching peep show eating pizza

But like I said, I can accept you don't like them but saying they're overrated is incorrect.
Fox92 Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 Bingo. I listened to two or three of their albums in full several years ago, was amazed at the amount of filler Your point was "I hate people who make out they changed music"... I gave you a list of 15 points (and I could have continued) which you haven't yet responded too.
