new car stereo fitted today, best bit: getting them to price-match Amazon. Worst bit: They didn't have the correct connector in stock to link it up to the steering wheel volume/preset/track skip controls. However, they've now ordered said connector, and they even price-matched Amazon for that too :-)

me too, cos then I'd have had to fit it myself! :-)
it's a Sony unit that can connect to iPod/iPhone, with Bluetooth and USB etc etc. It has far more features than I could ever need, but it's a world better than the system that was in the car previously. That one had a CD jammed inside that wouldn't eject, and the display screen is all lines where the pixels have gone bad. So it was time for a new 'un!

Bob Dylan sounds like Louis Armstrong and Tom Waits and leads a street gang... Did I just spot a Gene Simmons look-alike among them? Catchy tune to a sometimes goofy, sometimes violent video.

Like Mel said, two years was a long time ago, and unfortunately we're all getting older ;)
Aside from the problem with his knees, IMHO Meat's in great shape :-) He's healthy, energetic, sounds amazing,
and truly enjoying the shows and tour as much as we are. IMHO the breaks during the tour have also been doing
him a world of good, and I honestly don't see him slowing down any time soon.

Yes .. and passing out on stage briefly when it's excessively hot, then carrying on and concluding an energetic show is hardly the sign of someone who is of fragile health! Meat has more energy and is fitter than many people half his age!

Didn't a 20 something Elaine Caswell pass out 3 times recording IACBTMN?

I was more scared when he left the stage and basically said he was done. Was that around 2007-2008? Being diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Having a cyst removed from his throat, not to mention all the other times that he cheated death (maybe slightly exaggerated)....

The song 'Alive' really rings true for ML.

Wolff Parkinson white was early 2000's I think

The song 'Alive' really rings true for ML.

It does. The WPWS was finally diagnosed in London in 2003 .. and he was back on the tour like a man reborn within 2 weeks. That awful night at Newcastle was in autumn 2007, at the end of an exhausting couple of years invested in Bat3, although thankfully the cyst which was at the root of the problem healed with rest and didn't need the surgery he feared it might. And he came back in better and stronger voice than he'd been for years.

Way I see it, Meat is still in an amazingly creative stage of his career, is both fit and wise, and possesses an astounding physical energy. Talk of his retirement is as premature as Mark Twain's reported demise was exaggerated ;)

:twisted: Watched Derren Brown - Svengali, last night on the telly.

The guy who was possessed by the doll has got to be a stooge.
I'll buy into the fact that certain things are possible with the right physical routines accompanied by the correct sugestion can have bizare and amazing effects. There's a trick i've done for years (many of you may have done the same thing with your friends) where 4 people lift a person using only two fingers each. I've performed that "trick" for approx 17 years, and I still can't claim to know how it's done, just that it works when the routine and verbal instructions are stricly adhered too.

But to have the dude "possessed" and to copy the doll even when he can't see the doll and has no way of knowing what the doll is doing? :rly:

I'd love to believe it wasn't a set up, but I can't think for the life of me how he could do that without the person being possessed in on the act.

That said, I think he's a fantastic and entertaining showman.
I think he'd be worth seeing live :cool:

i dont think it was set up, don't think he was a stooge/actor and most importantly don't believe being able to see the doll had anything to do with how it works... thats just the "staging". the important part was what derren was saying.. the suggestion, the words and phrases... and the fact he was using hypnotism (i reckon) :-)

the most important thing is i knew which box the shoe was in every single time :D

[The Flying Mouse]

the most important thing is i knew which box the shoe was in every single time :D

:twisted: That's very interesting.
As a magician, I immediatly looked for a "magical" (for lack of a better word) solution to the trick (in fact, I think i've just cracked a way I could replicate the trick, given the proper props :lol: :wink: ).
Do you think Derrens way of doing the trick is more down to manipulation and suggestion?

What would you class Derren as? (not that it matters much)
Magician? Hypotist?

The only hypnosis I have experience in is self hypnosis (or putting Jo under to give her a good nights sleep). Although I haven't done any hypnosis for a while. But I don't think you can put someone under that quickly. If I remember rightly, when Paul McKenna had his own show it would show you him backstage before the show conditioning his volenteers for faster hypnosis.
That wouldn't tie in with Derren getting someone up at random and putting them under straight away.
Again, i'm not entirley sure what I believe as i've not any experience in stage hypotism.

Unfortunatly I think i'll laways belong to the sceptical portion of the populatin who would never believe it if it didn't happen to me.


Whatever Derren is, however you class him, he's certainly very entertaining.

to the first point, yep totally


i agree, derren is amazing, ive throughly enjoyed every show ive seen, and been fascinated by how he does it. i believe the most accurate decription is the one he uses at the start of most of his performances... "this programme uses magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship"

ive no idea how hynotism works so i cant say if thats what he uses... but he definitely is a master of suggestion and manipulation... a true master of nlp!!!

alot of that stage show he has done before on the tv specials such as mind control :D the mind control and trick of the mind episodes were some of my favourites :D

Oh I only use the 'like' button. The Dislike button... well we've had that discussion before and I tend to agree with everyone who is against it.

The fact that not everybody can be disliked, only shows that the 'people against it' are actually more right than the crew -that are responsible for it- want to admit. Otherwise why not set it for everyone? ;)

WHY would they do THAT?

The aircraft has a huge delay on it's first flight from Heathrow to Manchester, so in the end the had to cancel mine.

Oh well, quick call to BA and they had me on another flight. Still it was an hour and a half earlier and I got to the airport just as check-in closed. They still checked me in though.
