True talk: I have two memberships; my brothers and mine and I renew both each year. The numbers are 1 apart. So I'm spending $40 a year for two memberships I might never use again. Hmmmmmm.

Here's a tip: If you think a band's terrible, don't pay to be in their fan club.

I gotta say if you give actual money to a fan club, you probably cede the right to say anything bad about them. Its like the opposite of voting.

True story: Last month I was looking for a white shirt to wear to an annual drunkards cricket game that I play in and I managed to pull that particular shirt down from the very back of the cupboard. Took 1 look at it and couldn't bring myself to wear it as I couldn't be bothered having to try and explain it all day.

It went into the good sammy's bag and last weekend I saw some old Aboriginal guy wearing it the park. More charity work for PJ.

I prefer the term "cash grab" to "money grab".

Unfortunately, the gap between the positivity of the Pit and the negativity of RM is at all time high. I liked it better when I considered RM the realistic point of view rather than the negative point of view.

I could just read this all day long.

you think you know and like to speculate and criticize, but you really have no idea in the end.
Holy shit. I *do* like to speculate and criticize! I like the living SHIT out of it!

How did you do that? Do you...I mean...are you spying on me?
would that make you feel better about yourself?
