Hi @Shoebox1976uk,

If you could be any dinosaur, which dinosaur would you be and why?

P.S. Apologies for the lateness of this question and any distress that may have been caused.

I’m pretty sure my question coming within the first hour is part of the standard format by now, but yes, point taken :slight_smile:

I really don’t like Girlfriend In A Coma, but I could also throw in Golden Lights by The Smiths. So that’s two.

Second one is much trickier. I quite like Elephant Stone (Stone Roses, for anyone that doesn’t know), but “love” and “hate” are quite strong words in this context. “Like” and “not keen on” work so much better.

The one with the Elizabethan ruff that spits venom at Dennis Nedry in Jurassic Park. That one seems pretty cool. http://jurassicpark.wikia.com/wiki/ tells me it’s a Dilophosaurus

I think this is a very poor answer* as he said COOK with, ie you can use coriander as a garnish (as you would in 99% of instances anyway) with impunity even if you select chervil as your herb to cook with (also a very poor answer but for different reasons)

*all other answers in this thread have been A+++

Haven’t you got some chorizo to be browning?

Nice insult. Could have added ‘chief’ at the end but still a nice piece of business.

Frankly put, this is a more than acceptable spaceship name.

You’re right, of course. I really struggled with this one. I like to cook, but I’m no expert.

Can I change my answer to basil? That way, at least I’d get a lot of pesto. I like pesto.

Yeah, but I’m sold on ApolLOL 69 now. Plus I think I’d have to give Herbie Hancock credit for it

Ah sorry, I was on mobile so didn’t see your post explaining what RTF was meant to mean. Fuck that. I’m not down with these new acronyms. RTFM (whether there’s an actual manual or an implied one) or GTFO. :wink:

@Shoebox1976uk do you have a preference?

Also: Meow or Miaow?

Hi Shoebox!

Let’s talk about festivals - how does End of the Road stack up these days versus the earlier (pre-Woods Stage) days? Are you still a happy camper?
What other festivals do you recommend?
Who would appear at your ideal festival? (ShoeboxBury?)

I think that Miaow is more onomatopoeic, but I would always type Meow because it’s easier to spell

So I’ve been going to End of the Road since 2008 and there’s denying that the “magic” has dissipated as the festival has grown. But that said, the artists they can now attract with the increased capacity is a massive bonus. It is still my favourite festival and I count down the days until that first announcement is made as it generally shapes a lot of my listening for the rest of the year. I am definitely still a happy camper.

I haven’t done any other “camping” festivals since the Dirty 3 ATP, just the one-dayers in and around London generally. It was my first Field Day last year, and I loved that. Others tend to be your big behemoths like BST and Wireless. Not a great deal to recommend there.

I think ShoeboxBury would be a pretty eclectic mix, wouldn’t really fit a theme and I’d like to shape it around bands who I have never got to see live, whether they would be current or extinct. So I’d have REM, Fugazi, Tom Waits, Tears For Fears, Wu Tang Clan, Cannibal Ox, Daft Punk, Silver Jews, Pinback, for a start. I can imagine it would be a pretty expensive festival
