Spike Milligan every time. Peter Sellers was superb, but not an originator, Milligan was a genius, revolutionised comedy not quite on his own
Ferrari or Lamborghini

Not being a driver anymore due to eyesight problems caused by illness (40 years and not one penalty point I must add) I'll go for Ferrari.
U2 or Big Country
ps. I'd go for Spike as well. Pure genius. I quote "what do we do now?"

U2 (but Big Country did have their moments!
Strictly Come Dancing or X Factor? ;D
|
|

Post by broadsword on Sept 23, 2008 14:54:02 GMT
Yee gods, what a choice - based purely on the fact there are lots of bodies beautiful, I go for Strictly Come Dancing.
Robert Plant or Ian Gillan?
|
|
|
Post by nonrabbit on Sept 28, 2008 18:25:31 GMT
Bobby Plant Songs from the Wood or Heavy Horses
|

Heavy Horses, but by the tiniest of margins. or

Because I'm 56 and not what you'd call sylph like, I go for the Harley, although I actually do own a Honda Blackbird, (like the Honda CBR600, but physically bigger and a bigger engine).
Muhammed Ali or Rocky Marciano, both at their best
|

Post by rockisland on Oct 1, 2008 16:07:33 GMT
CBR600 definately!
|
|
|
Post by maddogfagin on Oct 2, 2008 7:46:27 GMT
From what I've seen in video/film footage - Rocky Marciano.
John Lennon or Paul McCartney (as song writers)
|
|
|
Post by admin on Oct 2, 2008 12:31:19 GMT
Blimey, that's a tough one. I'll give it to Paul McCartney in spite of the frog chorus (or maybe because of, it was kind of cute!)
The 60's or the 70's
|
|
|
Post by maddogfagin on Oct 2, 2008 17:42:58 GMT
The 60's. An era of great cultural change in the UK. Musically, the many changes included The Beatles, the Stones, offshore radio with Radio London, Radio Caroline et al and err . . . . Jethro Tull Rant over. I could go on about the 60's till the cows come home Cherry or Apple pie, with or without custard/clotted cream.

|
|
|
Post by maddogfagin on Oct 6, 2008 9:14:31 GMT
New Tull album in 2009 with a tour to promote it later in the year. Take the first part of 2009 to record it.
Alexis Korner or John Mayall as "godfather" of British blues.
|
|
|
Post by admin on Oct 16, 2008 10:11:48 GMT
John Mayall, just for all the superhero guitarists he's had!
Belching or farting? ;D
|
|
|
Post by maddogfagin on Oct 16, 2008 18:15:17 GMT
Farting As I always say to Mrs maddog, it's the funniest noise the human body can make and in so many variants too (well that's my excuse and I do always blame the cat, moggie maddog). ;D Simon & Garfunkel or the Everly Brothers
|
|
|
Post by admin on Oct 17, 2008 11:22:45 GMT
Simon & Garfunkel, the everly's are too mumsy for my tastes!
LP or CD?
|
|
|
Post by nonrabbit on Nov 1, 2008 10:00:29 GMT
LP for the nostalgia and the size of the album artwork
A good wine or a good Scotch?
|
|
|
Post by broadsword on Nov 1, 2008 10:17:03 GMT
No disrespect to our Scottish/Irish pals, but a good wine every time. I love a good wine, wine about the weather, Spurs losing...... oh sorry, the stuff that comes out of a bottle? I drink that as well.
QI or Mock The Week?
|
|
|
Post by steelmonkey on Nov 18, 2008 3:17:46 GMT
I wish i understood QI vs Mock the Week...more top secret brit-stuff? Anyway...Gene Wilder and his oompa Loompas or Johnny Depp and Multiple Deep Roy Oompa loompas?...My kid led me thru both movies in the past wek and i must say, despite some good moments in the old one, i think Johnny D and the second version was much, much better....better Willie W, better Charlie, better grand...pa, better other kids and better oompa L's.....a few of the lower tech chocalate factory scenes were better in the first.

Gene Wilders' chocolate factory, for the very simple and personal reason - I always prefer the originals (I worked in a chocolate factory once -and one of the chocolate machines broke and spewed chocolate everywhere and the broken chocolate machine was in Mars;) Honest !! Xmas .....with all it's /tinsel/glitter/Vicar of Dibley/carols/"they said there'd be snow at Christmas"/3 for 2 gifts/etc etc ORBah Humbug

A full on mince pie & mulled wine cheesy christmas with all the trimmings.... ;D
Myspace or facebook?
|
|
|
Post by broadsword on Nov 29, 2008 8:27:32 GMT
MySpace 'cos I've just got my head round it and all my Tull pals are on it any way and I don't want to go through learning FaceBook 'cos I'm an old fart
Aqualung or Locomotive Breath
|
|
|
Post by steelmonkey on Nov 29, 2008 16:39:33 GMT
Musically it's a tie...like which of your kids do you love most...of course, i only have one child...maybe some of you parents secretly love one, hate the other(s)...so Locomotive Breath wins because the topic of life/death/god/destiny is heftier than rich man-poor man in Aqualung.

Ask a question Steely ^^^ anything.....what's life all about? what to get nonrabbit for Xmas? ;D Well what would you like for Xmas ms nonrabbit? Me, I'd like the usual good times with family & friends and the announcement of a new Tull album in 2009 If you had the choice, who would you have to fill the extra chair at your Xmas dinner?

Very difficult to answer MadDog, a musical hero, sporting hero or maybe somebody from show biz. If I had to choose just one person, it would be dear old Spike Milligan. This is the third time dear old Spike has appeared in this subject and I'm glad about that. Revolutionized comedy not quite single handed etc., etc.
Sean Connery or Roger Moore (as James Bond)?
|
|
|
Post by maddogfagin on Dec 8, 2008 12:53:11 GMT
I reckon it would have to be Sean Connery by a mile. I always thought Roger Moore played it for laughs a bit too much.
As we're on a film theme, the best Science Fiction film. Mine would be Bladerunner (without the narration bit) or 2001 A Space Odyssy but what's yours?
