The Well XVX - The well has sprung a leek.

Heres a test to see if you are really from Wales as you claim. If you really *are * Welsh, you will be able to identify THIS breed of dog;
What is it?

That's a corgi. Though, I know that because the Queen has about 50 of them, not because I'm Welsh.

[Rich_T]

What's your stand on GWAR?

Similar to my stand on war. No GWAR.

Why do i have to pay so much for a vodka red bull in the Vine?

[Forbes]

Oooh i've got a contraversial one.

Whose your favourite Becky Mutton or Helen Kinns?

[Rich_T]

An old British nickname for cigarette, and a traditional Welsh snack, share an f-word which is not appropriate for this forum. How did they get this name?

Not a clue. But it got me in a lot of trouble while I was in the States. I decided it was easier to give up smoking rather than get beaten up every time I wanted one.

[Rich_T]

You're Welsh? I thought you were British.

Out!

[Rich_T]

What other bands can you recommend, that is something in the veins of Mastodon, Queens of the Stone Age and Corrosion of Conformity?

Taint! They're Welsh too.

-How much time, on average, do you spend roaming the countryside terrorising people with close-harmony singing?

Not enough man, not enough.

-The Welsh accent is quite a nice one. What are your favorite and least favorite accents?

Favourite probably is Welsh women.
Least favourite would be American women with the "like soooo whatever" thing going on. They can just piss off.

-Brits really take it in the arse when it comes to US amps. What US-built amp(s) would you most like to have?

Soldano man. Those things are some sweet British inspired monsters.

-As a Kyuss guy, how do you feel about QOTSA?

The first three albums were the ****, the last two aren't bad, but I don't find myself spinning them as often. Mark Lanegan and Billy Gibbons saved Lullabies to Paralyze.

-Robbie Savage and Craig Bellamy are both Welsh. Are there certain parts of Wales that are known to produce such 'characters'?

Ha, that is just a British thing. A fantastic product of the Thatcherite 80s.

-as a supporter of a small club, how do you feel about the amazing situation happening in the FA cup this year? -great for the little teams or are we heading for three games of low quality football?

It can only be a good thing when big teams lose. They need to be brought back down to earth from time to time. I'm not really a football fan to be honest, mainly because of the other football fans in the UK.

-what is your favorite kitchen implement?

I've always wanted one of these:

-have you been touched by His Noodly Appendage?

Ha, no, but I have been attacked by Scientologists.

-If you could reverse one trend in british society over the last ten years, what would it be?

Don't chavs know they're just pasty white Brits like the rest of you?

You have tea with your crumpets, not a Mad Dog 40oz.

Also, the superficial adoption of a Caribbean Islander accent is the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard of in my whole life.

I imagine it can most be heard coming from the mouths of those young men in the above photo as they utter the words:

"Does yew won' som fries wif da' oh-da?"

So, on to my question.

You're starting a band with forumites, and you're the leader. You can play whatever you want and you can dictate what instrument everyone else plays. What's your line-up? What style of music?

[Rich_T]

I'm Portuguese and I know what that dog is...

What do you think of Portuguese people? How many do you know?

Just one, and that's you. So yes, from my experience, Portuguese people rock!

A train leaves London towards Glasgow travelling at 60kph. Another train leaves Glasgow headed for London 30 minutes later traveling at 80kph. How long until they meet, and where?

Irrelevant. Neither will make it to London.

Here's why:

Train 1 is a Virgin Voyager. Somewhere between Rugby and Burton-Upon-Trent, the franchise for this particular route is bought by Arriva trains. They pull the train in question out of service for re-branding. The travelers on-board (that were all standing in the aisles and the toilet cubicles due to overcrowding) are stranded in a brewery town in middle England with no refunds and certainly no connecting bus services. Probably all mugged by chavs for their iPods, mobile phones and portable DVD payers. None of which have any charge on the battery, because the plug sockets on the Virgin train were all vandalised.

Now, Train 2 was a bit more successful. It was run by the Cross Country train service. This is a relatively new franchise, eager to impress the customers with promises of reduced fares, on-schedule trains that are clean, fast and comfortable. It was only an hour and a half late leaving Glasgow. A new record. It made it past both Rugby and Burton-Upon-Trent. However, the next obstacle in its way is the world's worst rail bottleneck: Birmingham New Street station. This hulk of 1950s brutalist architecture has been the bane of many a train operator, user and driver's life. The station was designed to serve 650 trains and 60,000 passengers per day however is currently serving 1,350 trains and 120,000 passengers. Already the train is running 6 hours late, and the queue at Birmingham causes the train to run out of fuel. Game over.

"All change please, all change, the British Rail Network has failed you again."

What is you favorite Black Sabbath song, and/or album?

Do you prefer a creamy fuzz, or a buzz-saw fuzz?

What is your favorite season?

Blondes, brunettes, redheads...pick ONE!

Master of Reality! But my favourite song is probably Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

I think both fuzz types have their place, I like creamy fuzzes for riffing and neck pickup solos. But if I want to just rip out a horrendous face melter, and nice buzz saw gets the job done!

I live for Autumn. Cold enough to wrap up in the winter clothes, everything changes colour, and it is always sunny.

Its all about the brunettes.

My future wife. She just doesn't know it yet.

[Rich_T]

What are your feelings on processed meats?

I despise them with a passion saved for little else.

I want to be able to see what part of the animal this was before I eat it. I'm not a vegetarian, but I am an animal rights campaigner, and they better have been the happiest bloody animals on the planet before their necks were broken, or I'm not eating it.

I also won't eat at Mc****efoods, any of them.

Burn in hell Bernard Matthews turkey-ham.

Killing Joke's "Pandemonium" album; a decent release or cashing in?

A decent release. There may have been a little bit of a business decision in there, but the music speaks for itself. Besides, getting Dave Grohl in on the last release was a stroke of genius, and it certainly will have reaped some commercial rewards because of his involvement, but ****, what a record.

[Rich_T]

Why do i have to pay so much for a vodka red bull in the Vine?

Because it is the ultimate white-trash drink. We are a classy establishment. We price the idiots out.

[Rich_T]

Oooh i've got a contraversial one.

Whose your favourite Becky Mutton or Helen Kinns?

I'll take the forfeit.

[Forbes]

Ha I have been told.

[Forbes]

The forfeit is come see my crappy band at the pigs on 27th march, pretty sure Becky, Kinns and Caz will be there too.

[Rich_T]

You're starting a band with forumites, and you're the leader. You can play whatever you want and you can dictate what instrument everyone else plays. What's your line-up? What style of music?

Sweet.

Me: Guitars/samples/bit of screaming
You: Guitars
Skarey: Bass/vocals
PFDarkside: Guitars
Fresno Bob: Drums (i'm pretty sure he's a drummer anyway)

The music is a bastard mix of Cave-In, Neurosis, Godflesh, Killing Joke and Bauhaus. With thrash bits.

[Rich_T]

The forfeit is come see my crappy band at the pigs on 27th march, pretty sure Becky, Kinns and Caz will be there too.

I'm there.
