Pete, were you the C4Ed?

But I do thnk Dylan has done some good songs, amidst a lot of potboiling and a fair bit of dross.

His voice is - as I tried to say - a matter of opinion. But in my opinion, I think when he's on song, it works.

And the "case" I made was for some of his better songs.

The trouble is - to take the example of my brother - it's quite common for people to fix a hard-and-fast opinion on Dylan pretty quickly, on the basis of threeor four songs they like, or hate. Especially if they hear the affectedly whiney stuff, precursor to punk and glam rock posing.

Like many artists (and artistes), and maybe more than most, Dylan contradicts himself. But "contains multitudes". He changes like a chameleon. Some of it is weak or worse. But by no means all of it, I think.

And that was the serious side of what I was saying.

Anyway, enough of that.

Lets move on cos you got caught out talking shite again.

BTW I have always had my doubts about his action so please try and find the "chagrin" I showed.

Sorry, but it is not proven I was taken shite. It's all subjective. Even Embee who hates me, agreed with my comments re. Botha on this occasion.

I agreed he looked shit ...except to the Oz batsmen ....your 'taipan's chagrin' comment was about Botha's chucking ...I'm pretty sure taipan agreed that he chucked when it was discussed

I did.

Of course because one can't deny it but for the last time I suggested that it would be to your chagrin that he was cited. Surely someone who rates him enough to drag up an old thread and who has constantly praised him throughout the summer ODIs would be now that his career is in doubt. I'm sick of going round and round in circles here.

FFS, when was the last time you suggested that?

The thread came up before he was cited.

Once again. Are you pissed?

As someone once said: ~ "Don't criticize what you can't understand"

Actually this is what I was referring to. But everyone has differing tastes, so lets move along.

careful, it might lead to getting laid, or at best, having some fun.

I would have thought that brewer's droop militated against optimum bedroom gymnastics in any case.

If I was a rude bastard I'd comment that blokes probably need several beers before you look good enough to shag

Actually Embee it's the chicks who drink heavily who lose their looks, there's a method to my madness.

Why should I be surprised that you have completely ignored what I wrote while pretending to answer me
