smoke on the water!!

hippy is 734, almost as old as murtle

No smoke on the water.. or fire in the sky..

Ha Ha love that! didn't see it

lol

Written about the frank zappa concert in switzerland where there was a fire on the stage, and frank suffered injuries that lowered his voice by a third :)

Thought it was about Monaco casino burning?

im out i gotta get some sleep :-{

Nope just read lyrics refrences to frank zappa and switzerland kind of give it away. forgive me

you are forgiven.

Love the way a thread heads to deep purple lyrics from 'bike jacking start'

Watch an episode of The Wire and HTFU LFGSS!

i have one of these follow me:

@me blimey that's some worrying shit. I've always thought that by being on my bike I'm getting about in the safest way (apart from a black cab, maybe) but I'm beginning to doubt it.

think i'm going to start carrying my krypto mini in my pocket :-/

lol.

I thought there was fire in the Rolling Stones mobile recording studi truck, in Switzerland, Frank Zappa was using it / was the last person to use it ...or summink?

The fire was at a Zappa concert at Montreux Casino, Switzerland. The Stones' mobile unit was recording the gig.
*any more ancient rock trivia questions welcome - I'm here to help*

*and possibly even older than Hippy*

It's not really gonna help - trying to swing it while riding means that it'll be a lot easier to push you off (cos you'll be riding one handed and swinging a lock in the air) and trying to use it in a fight against a bunch of yoots with dogs is a recipe for a fucking kicking. Better to speed up, aim for the bastards, get your head down, hold tight to the bars and hope momentum carries you through...

I only know a little about Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. Anything else you'll have to ask my old man :)

Does it really matter what colour the Sabbath is?

hold tight to the bars and hope momentum carries you through...

very kind of you to offer to accompany me on all my rides fella

Woah man, that's deep and purpley..

Well if it wasn't black it would just be a regular Sabbath - a day of rest observed by Christians (Sunday), Jews (Saturday) and Muslims (Fridays) - rather than a midnight meeting for witches.

I'm less of a physical protector and more a kindly, spiritual presence

a bit like a fixed willo the wisp?

Riding down Roman Road a year or so back a bunch of Goth Killing style WHITE kids threw a brick at me, just missed my head!
I hate kids, black, white, purple or orange - I blame the parents!

If you get Leeew/./Tynan/Wheels cranked up on the religious BS, I will kill you.

:)

I don't think their grandparents are entirely blameless either...

The editors of Time magazine share your view

And to be honest I do to.
I have said it before and will say it again. This is unrecognizable from the city I grew up in in the seventies. I dont know that any one thing is to blame either

I wrote the code for that

It's always best when the grammar goes a bit wonky:

COULD IMMIGRANTS INFECT BRITISH JUSTICE WITH AIDS?

DO PAEDOPHILES GIVE THE MEMORY OF DIANA CANCER?

Fuck religion, there - I have said it. :)

Excellent ! I remember RPM posting it here a while back, it's great :)

What do you mean exactly by 'kill' me? If you're saying end my life, in the context of religious discussion/incitement, this seems to suggest a personality devoid of moralistic reasoning and instead influenced by the irrational voices of the world's spiritual leaders. And if, as you say, "get... Wheels cranked up" you're under the impression that I ride some kind of archaic contraption upon which the cranks are connected directly to the wheel, then you're more than a little deluded.

Yes, yes, and yes. Unless you mean Black Sabbath as opposed to Bull Shit.
