The Derailment Thread

This thread has been started for all the times you want to say something but cant due to derailing the thread or fear of having your posts removed

Just post a link to the thread in question or quote the post and then go ahead and derail to your hearts content 

Play nice though people 

Why what an attractive new thread, so glad it was created 

Sorry I have nothing to derail at the moment...




 

Can we derail the derailment thread? 

This thread was made for me!  Oh shucks

 

In relation to the derailment of the pendulum thread...  

http://www.adelaidemassive.com/index.php?topic=1150.msg73422#new


I dont know if anyone read my post with regards to reviews....

I do understand what you are saying here as I would'nt want a tainted review either but I guess thats why I posted the below but I am gonna requote my post again as no one replied.


again this is just my opinion and I havent been writing reviews for 10 years and I think fair enough he has a opinion on the show or any other show - but if someone reads that review and thought the exact opposite of the reviewer they may never read another review by that person again. Your lucky you know Julian so you know what style of music he likes... Personally I think a good reviewer just reviews and doesnt push their opinion on anyone else but again this is just my opinion

all reviews i read about anything are all based on personal opinion.

thats why i ignore them and see for myself!

Somehow Ive got the feeling that this will be a thread  of millions of topics and it will be hard to be able to follow what the hell is going on.

Especially if I have anything to do with it  

My point! people ignore them unless they know the person and like the same shit.

I think a review should be a review not an opinion.

Shit I reckon I could go through the first page of the Random Banter forum and move 90% of the posts currently in reply to existing threads so that they merge into this thread. This would instantly become the longest thread on the whole forum...

Hmm I think that reviews arent meant to be based on opinions, whereas critiques are. I think this is a Pseudo Coup question. He will know the technical differences, or whether or not they are the same.

But "reviewing" covers the whole experience of the night, which is going to be different for each person. The purpose of a review isn't to try to please everyone! I think a review should describe the night so people who didn't go get an idea of what it was like, but the experience and feelings of the reviewer is part of the that. Even though a review might not reflect your experience of the night it probably does reflect what a lot of other punters experienced.

You can also learn things from people who have an opposite opinion to you so it's all good!

edit - but I do think it's good if the reviewer states their own preconceived opinion so you can put their review in context. You shouldn't have to know the reviewer to be able to put the review in context.

reviews are always going to be opinion based whether good, bad or in the middle!

But they all have value if you know it was someone's real opinion!

yuh huh!

I like toast

I dont think it is about pleasing everyone. I think it is about getting the feeling of the night across without pushing your opinion on it. You may be standing there hating it but the looks on 99% of the people there may love it.

And its exactly right what your saying and what I was trying to say. The people who didnt go want to get a review of the night on a whole - not a review of the persons opinion. I understand what you are saying as I agree with you.

I love hearing peoples opinions Especially if they are constructive or productive - I just hate hearing negativity. Fair enough you dont like something but there is a nice way to say it so people will actually want to read it and take it in especially when 90% of the people looked like they were having a ball yet the reviewer says the total opposite - I dont see how that is a review - I see that as an opinion.

Maybe they are one and the same thig which is why I am confused

I just feel an opinion is biast. I think a review shouldn't be. Thats my opinions on reviews  

Glad to hear other peoples so I can sort my confusion out  

next time someone wants a review that aint biast look me up

But your review will be biased because it's been processed via a human brain!

The only way to overcome that would be to get robots to review events 

If you can't post your opinion on an internet forum, where can you post it?

So a reviewer should write:

Pendulum played Voodoo People. Then they played their new song. Then I went to the toilet. There were lots of sweaty men there. My piss was yellow.

as opposed to:

Pendulum did an ok cover of Voodoo People, but the vibe was let down with their new song which was slower and more people didn't know. There was a line up for the toilets, which were full of sweaty creeps with their tops off, loaded up to their eyeballs on E. This is probably why they loved the night and others thought it was mediocre.

???

I know which I'd rather read, and write.

Me too! Fancy that.

I like toast with butter and vegemite

mmmm

Pendulum were good, but the line-up to the mens was better hey?

Id rather hear upfront honest truth.

If a night was shit just say it was shit, and im sure if someone disagrees, or the management / artists see it, they will create 10 alias's to post up about how wow it was.

HEY!

Don't make me start a "derailment of the derailment thread" thread...

You're all cunts.

I am a robot did you not know?  



how does that coincide with what we are talking about. We never said anything of the sort We are talking about writing reviews
yes I would rather read the later   But I think saying that everyone who enjoyed their night cause were off their eyeballs is not necessarily the case and is your opinion - the other seems to be stated from what you could see from what the crowd was doing and such. But then that may of been the case at Melbourne so who knows if they were off their tits or not.

I enjoyed the night. I wasnt off my tits. I dont like their new music I havent bought their album but I think good on em for doing what they love.

I just dont see why people need to be so negative about people doing stuff they love.

I want truth but there is a way to say it respectfully

I Like crumpets too   

Hey Sal, are we gonna get drunk this weekend or what?

Oh ok, my bad 

I'm wearing a headband.

I like the look of this model guy.

image not archived: H0006-001-BLKzoom3.jpg

Why aren't you wearing your hat lexy?


I wish you'd stop saying that!

Good question deathlady.

I will put it on now.

Really?

He looks a bit Osama Bin Laden to me actually 

Can I see your hat lexy? Or can you at least describe it to me in great detail?

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!!!!

Osama isn't an unattractive man   

Guys  

This is so we dont derail other threads with other subjects

If you want to post in here can it be either with what we are talking about or can it be with regards to a new derailment of another thread in which we post the link or the quote that ties in not just randomly derailing the thread for the sake of it  

Otherwise I will just go and derail the pendulum thread again  

Someone starts a thread and suddenly she thinks she's the boss of everyone 

OMG BANANA HAMMOCK LOL!!!!!

image not archived: newhat2003ps2.jpg

HAI 2 U

There's already a Postwhore thread for randomness though. I reckon this thread should be kept on the topic of previous derailments. Yes, I am saying the derailment thread should not be derailed, as little sense as that makes.

I also respect noddys opinion more every day. Even if he does sound like a moany old man.

I want to graze in his greener paddock. I dont like all the other sheep either. 

His paddock is more of a ginger colour.

We arent talking about forums here we are talking about reviews in local street mags and such.

Honest truth is always the best policy I just think there is a way to get it across



LOL  *pushes the report button for derailing a thread*  


LOL I respect Noddy opinion as he got my into dnb - as much as I may banter with him on ocassions its usually cause I am trying to get more out of him

I just like actually hearing it. I want to hear why he thought so and how he think it should be better - not this is shit that is all.

I also like the paddock with hay

I am going home now - play nice kiddies 

Sweet, another thread to avoid.

You can't derail a thread that is made to be derailed. A decent derailing isn't planned - it just happens when you least it expect it. It's the surprise of it all that I enjoy. And if said derailing pisses Lexy off, then that is just a bonus.

If it sounds right... and we all know what sounding right is....

I like hearing it too, because its right.

"This is shit"

Vs

"Omg thats amazing wow"


followed by




"This is shit because it didnt sound right"

Vs

"Yeh your right, it was distorted, and yeh your right it was wrong at times, but omg it was still amazing"









I find noddy is consistant. He isnt a sheep waiting to be told why things are shit... following the rest of the crowd, he knows why things are shit. He also got you into that paddock and he knows where the best grass is. Sure, go graze elsewhere but dont forget your roots.

You should all go and graze over in New Zealand, at least u'll get laid there.

Im not into sheep shaggin ta

Then it's a pretty aptly titled thread isn't it?

HEY!

I was moany way before Noddy. I even have an icon to show for it

Noddy is on my msn. You are not. He wins more kudos even if he doesnt speak to me ever, wants to have sex without foreplay and not speak during it.

I have sexual images of noddy being tall and geeky with sheep powers, wearing glasses and bright ginger balls that you could never supercede.

Im sure if you added me to msn I would like you a little though.

I'd give Noddy a reach around if he asked me

 

Holy shit

ATM did you just delete your post about an ex boyfriend having ginger balls and you liked it? 

No, thats Khem you're thinking of.

 

Actually that photo isnt showing much of his hair, but its red ... we promise! 

I've got rather large testicles though so you my need to wear one of these.

 

Question is, do you like ginger balls?
I cant see half those photos, they are just red x's here

Does the bigger finger go into your pooper ?

ATM- all the girls talk about it.. we call him the "the AM Testie Love King"  

We all chat, sit around the fire and talk about testies.... share stories... laugh... drink wine... all that girlie stuff

We get drunk and shower together too, just like in Revenge Of The Nerds

lol @ testie king! ahh my mate james just usually just gets his balls out. Teabagging my cat was a highlight of his testical escapades. great girlie chat - NOT. Cant say we are big wine drinkers - most of my mates are pill heads / coke heads / ketamine freaks  

sitting round the fire is a no no, people would end up getting hurt  
mind you there is a story about me chucking up in someones fire last year, I was ratted   It was infront of about 16 people as well. Gutted they dont let me live that down.

My housemate and I drink wine. We do "normal" stuff. Have to really, he hasnt touched chemicals in his life ever. Doesnt even smoke.   Bless him he goes to bed at 10, so when I get home at 6am... he wakes up and listens to me drivel on until I go to sleep.

I also like toast. With apricot jam and cheese.

Smells like a turd covered in burnt hair.

 

Jesus, no matter how stoned I was I still wouldn't even be game to try that. Sounds horrific.

i like this thread

You smell like slut covered in a slut..

how is that for derailment.

Considering the original purpose of this thread, I think it is a fair departure from where it was meant to be headed.

and my work here is done, I did not and will not be reading the original post.

But carry on lemmings.

double negative, can i get a BAN...

w0w.

Lemmings was a fun game. I think the 3d version was going a bit far though...

It's amazing how 3D images can be projected onto a 2D screen. Fucking unreal.

Should should try Super Mario Kart on the roof on the K-Box 360

That event sounds like everything i have been striving for in my life.

Is that that Karaoke joint on Hindley street?

It's a bit expensive but so much fun !!

its sway with a 6 pack salute

which event?

I believe he's talking about playing Mario Kart 64 projected on the roof of a karaoke bar?

I thought it was referring to playing Mario Cart on the 360 whilst on a roof whilst on K. Would be more fun than Karaoke IMO

never tried the stuff, and from the look of some of what it does, looks nastttttty

Never tried either. Looks nasttttty in a good way though IMO.

Looks like the derailment thread has been well and truly derailed though.

I thought that was the point of it?

check the first post

Oh.

Now that would just get confusing. Lol.

Why not start a specific derailed thread about the topic in question if it's important enough to warrant a lengthy discussion?

Much like that Metal thread that was created via a derailment in some other thread...

Because I didnt know if would end up a lengthy discussion or not and if this thread had stuck to the idea of it it wouldnt be so confusing - I was trying to stop the pendulum thread getting more derailed, and I have found in other threads it sometimes gets moajorly derailed yet with a serious discussion. I thought this may be a good idea to keep threads to their topics. But how dare I try something new hey.  Seems we all gotta go with what everyone else does otherwise we get judged.

Its funny really how much this has gone off track and how people have taken what I have said so out of context. 

But I guess thats what forums are for right 

Meh  have fun kiddies I have work to be doing...

See you on the dance floor

Give the man a walrus.

What are we de railing here anyways ?
Our minds ?

we have the pendulum declare dnb thread as well,
you could take that stuff over there as its all related to where the discussion was going in the pendulum event thread

*sings the monorail song*

is there a chance the track could bend?

not on your life my hindu friend!

True but as I said I have noticed threads get derailed on serious discussion sometimes and I felt that there have been times when threads have closed and such but people still have things to say or there posts get deleted cause it doesnt have to do with the thread.

I actually started this thread talking about reviews... it has gotten back to pendulum.

*sings* Well I guess the mob has spoken

AH HA HA HA HA

I laughed out so loud just then... that one got a LOL!

Does anyone like cupcakes?

Bump this shit into action !

You need to post a link to a thread and derail that thread then lol

However the key words were I said "I was good at it for a beginnner"

Not for someone who plays it regularly.

I really can't find the words for this letter to the tribunal saying we can't be arsed dealing with our landlord anymore, and just want to say we are happy with everything as is now, but at the same time say it's all a pile of crap and we really aren't happy at all we just want to settle and end it all.

Okay I take that back now after hearing the tune Keyser put up, I actually like that one. The point I was attempting (not very well on my behalf) was that I really don't like that American boy tune.


I'm good at doing that. But then I'm sure if I played you the various songs which I like you would instantly dislike that producer as well. Pretty much just comes down to different tastes in music.

It pays to have an open mind when it comes to music. You could otherwise miss out on gems like this...

[video: www.youtube.com]

 

Natho -might pay to put ya link in the pendulum thread

I got what ya meant- u meant each tune is as crap as the other 

I dont mind kanya west though hes alright, considering he is mainstream commercial

From in the news today....

Can't get a job up here because I'm moving back to Goolwa. Can't see how that can be hard to understand. I tried for plenty of jobs up here, but didn't get many replies. Anyway I'm getting a job in Goolwa now. Already set to move so I can't exactly get a job now.

 

Never got through to the interview stage though.
