I was in Frankston a couple of years back and I bumped or should I say one directionless man bumped into me asking me to buy him a pack of winnie blues. He then started to talk about the Western Bulldogs and how he paid good money for a membership and he felt he wasn't getting his moneys worth. Judging by his clothing he had been doing it hard so I pointed him to the nearest Salvo bin and told him to get some clothes first, then perhaps more people would be charitable towards him. He staggered off, looking somewhat confused.

So I made a little ditty about the experience.

"I'm an unemployed man from Frankston, what does that mean to you,
I'll tell you if you got a tenner, I need me a pack of Winnie Blue,
On Sat-dee I can be seen scrounging, me garbage bags for jeans and theft,
I spent me last doe on a Bulldogs membership, brother I got nothing left."

I took a girl from near frankston to the old cinema out there once. WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING.

This is all no jokes or exagerations.

There were 8 people in the cinema (excluding me and my date).

In the very row which I was sitting in, there was a fight between 5 people (not including my date and I) 3 vs 2. And one of the guys got bottled!

-with a plastic bottle, then they all started laughing and stopped fighting.

-strangest experience of my life... well, right up there.

Perhaps because it's been somewhat of a growing trend with every single thread you've ever started. Not a bad thing, just an observation that everyone here has made.

The Jamster frog has been number 1 dip******** , the charts mean nothing.

Artists with lyrical genius the likes of Nick Cave, Rufus Wainwright and Elvis Costello rarely have chart success, yet your beloved critics rave about their work.

Materamagic get over yourself you think McCartney is some sort of god , I beleive he is an over rated hack who was part of the first popstar style band, overproduced crap. Who is right , neither of us you ******** knuckle. Get off yourself you have no deeper music appreciation than any other member of this board but your holier than now attitude that you ram down our throats re Paul McCartney et al is getting a little thin.

As I have said previously , my family owned a record store, so what but I would like to leave you with one thing that stuck in my head from one of the many people who frequented the store, probably similar people to yourself that believed they were the only ones that understood music and their taste was all that counted. The statement was thus "Yes the sixties was cool but you could always tell the teeny boppers from the people who knew music by what they walked out of the record store with, if it was the Beatles you knew they werent worth talking to with regards to music if it was the stones or Dylan, well then you had a knowledgable listener". You think he was full of crap dont you materamagic, well I think your that person.

B-P-B I believe introduced Macca into this thread which i started about frankston, nothing to do with the great man, and seriously if you think things like the white album, pepper or abbey road, revolver were teenybopper material and the beatles appreciators knew nothing about music, well you are an ignorant sod with no concept yourself, and no i never even shopped in your old store, i am younger than you think. had macca not been brought up here i never would have commented on him.

While I love the Beatles- I have the box set- didn't you know that Paul McCartney died in the mid 60's? Its just his lookalike with a team of writers that have produced his songs since then.

in his own right, a solo artist. paul and beatles are two different things and as for him being dead, that was a famous hoax and a marketing ploy which got many playing records backwards as the fabs planted clues on album covers, etc... he is alive and kicking with some of his best music since the beatles, dont be shocked if he has a #1 album by the weeks end in the US and or UK. Don't know about here in Australia

John Safran did a segment on that rumour on Musical Jamboree. Damn Funny.

And I still want to know how the tune to this Frankston ditty goes. :thumbsu:

Doggies supporter in Frankston? serves him right for falling asleep on the Werribee line.

Maybe he penned a song himself

"100 odd bucks on a doggies membership
Rohde was crap so then I jumped ship
Travelled to Frankston just for self-abuse
Looking for smack, sex or winny blues
The place is a hole won't go here again
No more drunken sleeps on the Werribee train"
