The World Has Gone Mad!!!

Post by Musicman1965 »

There are so many ridiculous headlines that make the news, some are football related others are not and cover a wide range of
topics. But if you think what you read is absolute madness this is the thread to post your headlines and brief description.
There is so much.
I will start it off with this...

Luis Rubiales: Prosecutors seek 2.5-year jail term over World Cup kiss. ... :shock:
Seems a bit harsh for a moment............. A guy robbing your house gets less time???

First, I take extreme umbrage at being paired with JD, and of all places in the "mad" thread. That's low MC :)

Second, who or what is Visage...or do I even want to know?!?

This seems a lot like giving a toddler a gigantic box full of strike-anywhere matches...

To post a YouTube video replace the squiggly brackets {} with the squared-off brackets [] below:

{youtube}...{/youtube}

Where the ellipses are you put in the YouTube video ID. This is usually just all of the gobbledygook after the equals symbol. With the video below it's the X8ygSVvSRLs.

Check out Visage. They wrote a song called “F… to grey”.

I’ve just tried that in the visual music thread, where did I go wrong ? Any wonder the missus won’t give me anything sharper than a crayon.

I thought that was just my missus :lol: I have found that the YouTube ID sometimes doesn't work if I grab it and try sharing it using my tablet vs my laptop, which seems to work fine every time.

And they said you couldn't be taught--now who's cooking with gas you fade-prone, fire-starting toddler :fire: :fire: :fire:

And what's not to love about 80s Brit synth-pop btw.

Here you go, Foxy.

Well your fade-detecting skills are for s**t but at least you know a foxy gentleman when you see one.

I'm responding to the fact he's still bragging about 'getting away with it'. Maybe if you get him to wind his neck in, then I'll stop responding.
