Culture Cup 2.0 round 5

First topic message reminder :

Round 4 of the Culture Cup 2.0 comes to an end and thank the heavens for that.  As is standard for 2.0, there were some beauties and some utter sh*te picked in this round.  The big winner was The Boss who (after he had put down his Niall Quinn autobiography and chosen his film) picked up maximum points for One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest.  It’s a quality film so no complaints from me.  Trebs scooped up a healthy 8 points for Silence Of The Lambs which is also a tremendous film so again, no complaints here.  Michaels got a lovely present of 8 points for his pick of Forrest Gump.  That’s right folks, Forrest f*cking Gump.  C&R also claimed 8 points with The Godfather.  GrumpyG*lfer picked up 6 points for To Kill A Mockingbird which I also voted for.  Cracking film.  Weeman also picked up 6 points for Raging Bull.  So Forrest f*cking Gump is better than Raging Bull and To Kill A Mockingbird.  Forrest f*cking Gump.  

Lots of posters managed to score a big fat headed zero, including Jeff for On The Waterfront and his arch rival Nicola Sturgeon superfly who, although he did get one vote, won’t be picking up any points as he failed to understand a very simple question and his pick of Lawrence Of Arabia fell outside the criteria.  Jules will be disappointed to pick up some points for Annie Hall, but Galted will be devastated that no votes appeared for Amadeus.  He saw Rupert Grint once.  In a play.  L*l.  He also saw Laura Dern in a film.  Double l*l out loud.  Galted is a really funny guy.  Dresses like a utter spazz but doesn’t let that hold him back in life.  A solid 4 points for Hero keeps our resident champ at the top of the league but he can feel the hot breath of a few men down his neck now.  He’ll enjoy that, no doubt.  The only points Stella has managed to accrue have come from a book I picked for him.  Perhaps the biggest surprise was Union Cane who picked up zero votes for his first choice of The Iron Lady.

Here is the updated league table:

1) Hero 30 pts
2) Paul 24 pts
3) Trebs 24 pts
4) C&R 20 pts
5) The Boss 19 pts
6) Harrier 16 pts
7) Ziggler 16 pts
8) Michaels 16 pts (will be deducted 2 points at the end of the tournament for being a pr*ck)
9) Fat head Adam 15 pts
10) GrumpyG*lfer 14 pts
11) Azzy 11 pts
12) Nakatomi 11 pts
13) weeman 11 pts
14) SerialDAVE 9 pts
15) Jeff 8 pts
16) Shah Abu-bakr 7 pts
17) Beadle 6 pts
18) Jules 5 pts
19) superfly 4 pts
20) Union Cane 3 pts
21) Dagless 3 pts
22) Stella 2 pts
23) Ray Mears big fat zero pts

Round 5 is back to music so please see the poll for THE BEST EVER DEBUT ALBUM.  

Remember, IT’S OPEN FOR ALL OF 606v2 TO VOTE.

Thanks.

Well obviously I am a fan Tina, who isn't, right? However for me metal drumming reached its apex with the work of Scott Columbus. His drumming on MANOWAR's seminal work Kings Of Metal will arguably never be surpassed.

It's this sort of "stuck-in-the-past" elitism that will prevent either of you from truly appreciating all that is great and good in metal. Check the work of George Kollias on NILE's "Annihilation of the Wicked" or anything Scott Culross played on. Come on guys, do your research.

What about Joey Jordison? Not only does he bang the skin for metal giants SLIPKNOT, he also cuts some guitar riffs with leading horror-punk band MURDERDOLLS.

Now that is one talented chap.

You might want to google a picture of my mate Andy "Captain Poofinger" before you assume Todd would make it through the first term of 6th form.

I just did but then got a stern warning from the I.T. bods....I think it was because I initially googled "pictures of poofinger"

I will take your word for it mate... Could be worse, could be Tokyo's I guess...

Tina - doesn't he also play drums for McBusted and didn't he do quite well on Strictly a while back?

It seems that way until you actually listen to any of it...it's balls.

Todd Strange doesn't seem all that hard. Done well for himself though - Mayor of Montgomery.

You're being annoyingly funny today, super.

It's schoolboy error strew drivel I've posted...it's f*cking DAVE Culross...you think I'd have that one nailed down...bloody kids have been up since 5am this morning. If this carries on, I'm buying them a milk float and they can go earn a few quid...5am Jesus H Christ!!!!!!!!!!

Super, think you MAY have the wrong Todd. The one I'm thinking of is the behemoth (another great band) with legs like tree trunks

Am genuinely considering changing my vote to Grace, an album I like rather than love, solely in an attempt to prevent Oasis winning this, which would be a genuine travesty.

I may have to do the same.

Maybe he's of Swedish origin and his name is Anders "Captain Poof" Inger

If anyone wants to vote for NOLA I'd be eternally grateful a bit less of a c*nt to them for a while

Step back from the line, DAVE. I don't care if you're Serial or not.

I was merely exploring the possibilities, given our failure to find him on Google. I wasn't suggesting that he actually was gay (or Swedish) and merely exploring a possible alternative. No need to get all f*cking baity about it

I'm off to Ikea this weekend to buy a Billy bookcase, white.

I've already got two, bloody good bookcases they are, adjustable shelves in case your books vary in height. Easy to assemble, even with a cat biting your wrist. Sturdyish too, though maybe not for you if you have kids.

That's the Billy bookcase.

You going to rock on down there in your Hi-Tecs?

Probably not, Galtova's starting to dictate my wardrobe. Wasn't allowed to wear my grey tracksuit bottoms for Wednesday's jaunt to Tesco.

All of my books are exactly the same height. Is there a bookcase out there for me?

I'm sure truss will offer them some hands-on advice for grip strengthening exercises... Mano a Mano

For the sake of f*ck. What is the matter with men these days. Sean's missus dresses him and now you're letting Galtova do the same to you.

Your dad will be disgusted with the man you've grown up to be.

I had a friend at school called billy bookcase. Ironically, he had a bit of a screw loose.

It's true, Enid Blyton books are all the same height.

His dad would be more horrified by him wearing tracksuit bottoms for a non-sporting pursuit (lovely word that).  Tracksuit bottoms? Jimmy Saville tribute act!

At least it's more tolerable than death by nagging.

I had a friend at school called Sarah Snowball, unfortunately she didn't.

The Billy, superfly, it's just as stylish when the shelves are evenly spaced.

I'm thinking of having an alcove in my back bedroom shelved to accommodate my books. There are quite a lot of them.

Which Ikea? Apparently there is a good chinese place at the Croydon one though not Wrap-it-up as far as I know.

Alcoves or books?

Not going to do it yourself Jeff? Is TSMR the expert with handtools?

Just the one alcove Tina, worth checking though, my post was not clear.

Croydon. I shall eat heartily before I leave so that I'm not distracted by hunger or menus.

Not with you... probably with tina.

I'd suggest a series of floating bookshelves. Not the most convenient but quite mesmerising on the eye.

Between September 1 2012, and October 25 2012, it sold 503,441 Billy bookcases around the world. It is its most popular product

Do save a little room to celebrate your purchase with the traditional ikea hotdog food fight... Eating a plastic sausage whilst partaking in a mustard and ketchup dispenser paintball. All part of the ikea Croydon experience.

The Ikea Croydon experience is more likely to involve being stabbed with a Skakad paring knife (£0.75).

Wife! l*l out loud.

Is galtova a pet hamster?

I'm lost on this board, tina. I came here expecting friendly banter about mould, yogurts etc and have been put out of kilter by the frenzied debate on assorted genres of loud noisemaking from musical instruments. All a bit unsettling.

Did enjoy the chat about bookcases though. Back to the boxing board for me, and the comfort of tittle tattle on floyd mayweather's legacy.
