My paternal grandfather was very adamant about having shoes on in the house, and because of this Father Shears Campbell keeps his shoes on frequently in the house.

A former job I had was in a small shop where you were given such an amount of time to check all the produce was at the front of the shelves and if not move them forward or refill. It always took far less time than given but as there was nothing else to do I’d be told to do it again. It was the most tedious job and I hated it. I was thrilled to hand in my notice after about a month.

The person you should want to look good for is yourself, be happy with who you are and how you look and forget what everyone else says.
The best way to lose weight is get off your backside, exercise and eat better/healthier (as I sit here eating a pizza supper – I walk a lot 
). Any method which involves paying money for pills, books etc should be thrown in bin.

Offline You know what pisses me off, Queen’s 1982 album Hot Space, here’s 3 reasons why:
Reason #1:
Let’s compare the genres of previous Queen albums to this one (note that we won’t be looking at anything released after 1982):
Queen (Progressive Rock, Glam Rock, Hard Rock)
Queen II (Progressive Rock, Glam Rock, Hard Rock)
Sheer Heart Attack (Glam Rock, Hard Rock, Progressive Rock)
A Night At The Opera (Glam Rock, Hard Rock, Progressive Rock)
A Day At The Races (Glam Rock, Hard Rock, Progressive Rock)
News Of The World (Glam Rock, Classic Rock, Hard Rock)
Jazz (Glam Rock, Classic Rock, Hard Rock)
The Game (Classic Rock, Glam Rock, Hard Rock)
Flash Gordon (Progressive Rock, Hard Rock, Instrumental Rock)
Hot Space (Pop Rock, Dance Rock, Classic Rock)
Notice how the first 2 albums are progressive hard rock albums that are similar genrewise to Genesis, Yes, and Rush, their first 3 successful albums are more straightforward glam hard rock similar, almost like a mix of T-Rex and KISS, while still keeping prog rock elements, News Of The World and Jazz get rid of their prog rock elements for most of their songs, staying for even more of a straightforward glam hard rock sound, The Game shows them experimenting with pop elements, but still contains the rocking sound of the previous albums, Flash Gordon goes back to their progressive hard rock roots but with the synths from The Game, making it sound very similar to Rush. Sadly, Hot Space threw all of that stuff to hell and back and took a s**t on us by giving us a pop rock album, something you’d expect from Duran Duran or Hall And Oates, pissing all over most Queen fans who preferred a rock oriented sound. This is main reason this album pisses me off, as I was born in 1967 and have been into Queen since I heard Killer Queen on the radio when I was 7, then I got Sheer Heart Attack for Christmas of 1974, my first album, and I had all of their albums (Sheer Heart Attack, A Night At The Opera, A Day At The Races, News Of The World, Jazz, Live Killers, The Game, and Flash Gordon), and their December 1st 1977 concert at the Madison Square Garden was my first concert, so you know I was pissed when I first heard this album at a friend’s house when I was 15. Only 2 out of the 11 tracks can be considered even remotely hard rock (Dancer and Put Out The Fire), isn’t it a shame.
Reason #2:
Have you ever noticed this label on a Queen album.
Notice how it says “no synths”, as Brian May did all of those sounds on his Red Special guitar, such as the supposed piano solo in The Fairy Feller’s Master Stroke, the supposed violin part in Love Of My Life, the supposed cello solo in You Take My Breath Away, the supposed saxophone solo in Jesus, and the supposed synthesizer solos in Get Down, Make Love and Sheer Heart Attack, they were all played using guitar. Then comes The Game which says to hell with that rule and starts using synths, which was lazy on their part, but the synths were only used on a few songs and their role was minimal, such as the intro to Play The Game. Then comes Flash Gordon, which is very synth oriented, but once you know how Hot Space used them, you won’t think Flash Gordon used too much of them. With Hot Space, they decided to go heavy on the synths to the point where half of the songs have drum machines and synth bass in place of Roger and John and if there’s one thing you know about rock music, you have to be pretty f***ing lazy to resort to drum machines. Also, for Action This Day, instead of having Brian May’s Red Special guitar sound like a sax for the solo, they got an actual sax player, the only other case of this being One Year Of Love, where Brian refused to participate on the song.
Reason#3:
Let’s look at the UK singles each album spawned and label them as good or shitty:
Queen:
Keep Yourself Alive (good)
Queen II:
Seven Seas Of Rhye (good)
Sheer Heart Attack:
Killer Queen/Flick Of The Wrist (both good)
Now I’m Here (good)
A Night At The Opera:
Bohemian Rhapsody (good)
You’re My Best Friend (shitty)
A Day At The Races: (note that Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy was technically not released as a single)
Somebody To Love (good)
Tie Your Mother Down (good)
News Of The World:
We Are The Champions/We Will Rock You (both good, although We Will Rock You should’ve went first)
Spread Your Wings (good)
Jazz:
Bicycle Race/Fat Bottomed Girls (both good)
Don’t Stop Me Now (good)
Live Killers:
Love Of My Life (although album version is a guilty pleasure, this version is shitty)
The Game:
Crazy Little Thing Called Love (good)
Save Me (good)
Play The Game (good)
Another One Bites The Dust (shitty)
Flash Gordon:
Flash (good)
Hot Space:
Under Pressure (shitty)
Body Language (shitty)
Las Palabras De Amor (The Words Of Love ) (shitty)
Back Chat (shitty)
Notice something, every single from Hot Space sucks.
The end, for now.

Queen a prog band?! You’re joking!
And to compare Genesis and Yes (two of the greatest prog bands in rock history) to Queen. Seems like an insult to prog.

Offline Queen’s first 2 albums are definitely prog and also, after Phil Collins joined Genesis, they started to suck and become a sell out pop band. Also, if you don’t consider them Prog rock, then what do you consider them.

Phil Collins was always with Genesis, he didn’t join later, he was the drummer first and foremost, then he became the lead singer.
I know they suck now, but they were still one of the greatest prog rock bands ever.
I’ve listened to all of Queen’s albums twice, they were glam/stupid rock all the way through, beginning to end.

Offline Everything leading to Night At the Opera is definitely Prog, but I’d consider most of their other albums arena rock. Queen not really my cup of tea, but I think Under Pressure is the best song they did. I know it gets s**t on a lot, but compared to their so called “masterpiece” Bohemian Rhapsody, Under Pressure sounds like A Day In The Life .
But I think @limitlessundyinglove will have much more informed opinions than me about this prog argument.

Offline This pisses me off, lost media. I’m not just talking about random episodes of a TV show and stuff, there are many classic examples of things that are considered to be lost or missing, here’s a list of 10 of them: (note that if they’re not on the internet, I consider them lost)
London After Midnight (odd considering how successful the film was back in the day and the fact that there was multiple versions of the film, such as The Hypnotist, that have all failed to show the light of day and the fact that multiple stills, an original poster, and the original script somehow survived)
Multiple episodes of Doctor Who
The Beatles 1965 appearance on Thank Your Lucky Stars, notable for being the only performances (albeit mimed) of Yes It Is and Eight Days A Week
1966 NME Beatles concert (this is an example of The Beatles being dicks and turning the cameras off during their performance that was supposed to be filmed)
Queen’s Now I’m Here on Top Of The Pops (except for a short 15 second excerpt)
The Simpsons Some Enchanted Evening original version (survives only in a 5 minute clip)
The title card to the first color Looney Tunes short The Hep Cat
Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back 70mm version (I’d like to note here that the unaltered original trilogy aren’t lost, however this is)
High quality footage of the moon landing
It’s a shame how this stuff was lost or wiped or whatever, it’s very unfortunate.

Well, that’s because of the silver nitrate film that was used in those days. That stuff deteriorates and burns really easily. The still pictures, poster, and script, on the other hand, would survive because it’s printed material.
The Simpsons Some Enchanted Evening original version (survives only in a 5 minute clip)
Neither of those things are truly lost, though. Carnival Of Light certainly exists somewhere. Those are only lost by the questionably loose, bullshitty definition of lost that the Lost Media Wiki uses.
