It sucks big time alright. Maybe I should get rid off all of my roots reggae and Bob Marley CD's because Rastafarians are anti-abortion and anti-gay. But then maybe it's alright to be non-p.c. if you're black or should I say Afro-Carribbean. It's only a crime to be non-p.c, if you're a white Christian of European extraction.

I thought it was quite ironic that everybody knew Troy Mcclure and he wanted to be known by everybody, but to be honest I like my internet privacy by not having my name on the web all the time.

Speaking of him actually, dont people call you Jimmy down in Skib Mr Greenham? :p Surely you have a facinating story behind your handle? :confused:

Mine is short for my long latin religous christian name, which i was named after my grandfather and my grandfather's father, a name which i also share with tenth century pope's, a square in Rome a Galway all star hurler from the 80's, and we won't go into two other dude's i share me name with. But i have been called Sylvo since i was a kid for short by my homie's:confused: .

[sylvo]

Hav'nt a clue Dav, in the Gealtaect region of London N21 it's Sailbhstar, or to my Italian workmate's it's San Silvestro. Anyway meself and the Donegal Cuban stopped off in the railway in N4 on the way back from the Londain game in Ruslip and were very surprised to see yer goodself was not bevving away @ the bar in there, where you hiding Dav.:confused:

A few months ago there was a silly juvenile **** on the eircom league board who kept pretending to be me or Conor.

One day (pretending to be me) he announced that i was going to be a dad, which was untrue.

The real conor read it and announced it here. Well you congratulated me and said it was some co-incidence that my brother had just become a father. By my powers of deduction (just like Sherlock Holmes) you had to know my brother to know that.

PS To everybody thanks for your good wishes at the time :) but nobody is getting their presents back :D

The Ramones could be card-carrying members of FF and I'd still love 'em. ;) The kings.

They've always had dodgy politics but I couldn't care less. Incidentally, they released a single in the 80s called Bonzo Goes to Bitburg about Reagan's tasteless visit to an SS war grave memorial thingy, so they're not all bad.

[4tothefloor]

4tothefloor is short for "four to the floor" (never! :D ), which is a term used to describe the beats in house and techno music. There's 4 beats to the bar in most dance music tracks (except Hip Hop, Drum & Bass, and R'n'Bling-bling), therefore four-to-the-floor is a term used by alot of dance music journalists when writing about dance. I've been using it since 1999 on dance message boards, so for convenience decided to use it on here aswell.

The Criminal Justice Bill in the UK outlawed gatherings where people danced to "repetitive beats" which were defined as 4/4. I guess you had to be there. :) And 4 to the floor does indeed come from Northern Soul and not from your namby pamby modern dance music.

I got mine shortly after the 1982 World Cup by some new found plastic mates on a trip to see Ireland v Spain in Dublin. They thought it highly amusing to name me after Roberto Lopez Ufarte (Oo - far - tay...who farted?..Geddit?.. :rolleyes: ) of Real Sociedad and Spain fame.

Or Germany and be called Kuntz. No, being half Spanish was the clincher, so that's why this title. Lopez Ufarte was mentioned in Phill Ball's 'Morbo' playing ball on the beach in San Sebastian/Donostia. First time I heard him mentioned in years.

[eoinh]

remember last season someone put up the rovers v liberec line up and one of the liberecs' players names had his name blanked out?


i wonder what he was called? :confused: :p i think it was ******!

No father, tis not me. I'm was born in bondage and have always been exiled in Babylonia under King Nebuchadnezzar. And my old man's from Dublin originally.

A few weeks ago I was at work (on the tube here) and this manager came along with a school party of five-year-olds (trainee graffiti artists I thought). He got in with me and I noticed from his accent that he was from Cork. Like all good managers he also had his name badge and rank. Anyway, I looked at the name and it said 'Sean Lopez.' :eek: I nearly fell off the seat. I said that isn't a very Irish name and he laughed. Transpired he was from Kinsale and his father was German but with a Spanish father who came over to set up some sort of aircraft place where he met the bloke's mother. Strange but true!! :cool:

It was just him in the cab with me - perfectly legal as he was a 'railway official' which,apologies, may not have been made clear earlier by me. The kids had to wait until I got to the end of the line (branch shuttle up in Cajun country Buckinghamshire) and the train was fully secured before they could come in, blow the whistle and basically attempt to cause general mayhem. :D

It was at Chalfont instead of Chesham - or Chechnya as we call it at work. Two names in the phone book type of gaff...and one is Patel. :D

conversation goes something like this


lopez says:"dont let the bstards wear you down etc ..............."

official says:"yeah right,right,dont know for sure........................"

little kid tugging lopezs sleeve says :"eh mr lopez we didnt stop at the last 5 stops
you know,and you ve got about 200 people here going mad!!!!"

lopez:"jaysus ,wheres those brakes" :eek:

And your point,caller......? 3-2 to the Indjua,(v.the'auld sc*m')........
Listen my little fat, brown, friend (although I'm close to you in the brown stakes at the mo following my peaceful convalescence on the Costa de la luz): It's simple. There is one Indian takeaway in Chesham and the boss's brother runs a newsagent. Everyone else? Same surname! Just think Deliverance - or that film with Nicole Kidman and River Phoenix's brother (Caesar in Gladiator?) and the remark about hanging around trailer parks f*cking your cousins - and you'll get the picture. :D

:"jaysus ,wheres those brakes" :eek:


Father the brake's on those metropolitan line train's that Lopez drive's are fine, in fact the brake's seem to be alway's in use, it's the fcuking accelarator that's missing.The metropolitan line could even be twined with the laus, after all hardly anyone has seen either in action yet.

Ya but 4tothefloor doesn't mean a rave, which is what you're on about. Is just a journalistic term that describes mainly the harder side of dance music, such as techno, trance and some types of house. That and a rave are two completely different things.

Regarding Northern Soul - don't know anything about it, so it means nothing to me. As far as i'm concerned 4tothefloor comes from dance music, if it does apply to Northern Soul as well, i'm sure its a very different type of 4\4!

Whats namby pamby btw??!
