Someone Sensible Say Something Sensible

[kikat]

Today one of my work mates had a sicky and was replaced with a VERY chatty agency fella. It did'nt take him long to start telling me about his part time dj life and his love for hip hop, which at first i thought great. In my small social circle a good face to face chat about the gangsta black stuff is rare and i started explaining about my little part time geek life in which he interrupted me and said "Mate, do you ave that rocket tune by Grandmaster Flash". I tried to explain but he was'nt having it, could someone also tell me who the hell are "Eric d and Rakim". My hope's for a good two way natter were now gone.

I'm sorry for coming on here moaning but i've had a day of it especially when he told me his big want is that "Crazy Frog tune, you know that ring tone advert".
So could someone reply to my thread with a nice piece of sensible info, anything at all, i dont care.
I love you all.

oh dear oh dear oh dear........some people eh?
you should've just said "sod off and leave me alone you retard"........
re the crazy frog tune currently being advertised on the tele.....i HATE that advert more than anything in the world.......i want to destroy EVERYTHING when that advert comes on the tele.....

[Rich Hero]

...who the hell are "Eric d and Rakim".

LOL!!! Oof! You've probably twigged that I'm not the best person to offer sensible comments on anything but... The best info I can supply is that, hopefully, your work mate should be well again by Monday and you'll never have to endure that person again. And if you find yourself in similar circumstances again, batter the offending party senseless and use the Twinkie defence.

[BoneyVotel]

who the hell are "Eric d and Rakim".

Loving it.
Ask him if he has any tunes by Heavy Tee & the Toys, Jam Master Wizzy Wiz or Kool Moe Kane.

oh dear indeed. i can feel your pain, anyone who can actually bear to listen to that crazy frog tone let alone actually want it... unfortunately we have to bear it on the tube here and now they've started to play some of the other ones. my partner likes to turn up the sound to annoy me, she's willing to endure the pain of hearing it to watch me get totally infuriated! what is the world coming to i say??

eric d & rakim....hehe. reminds me of a recent visit by grandmaster flash here....as i was leaving i overheard two punters discussing the night. one said, 'yeah it was really good but he didn't play white lines'. i resisted the urge to scream at them that white lines was actually melle mel and not gf at all but soon realised the futility of it all. dumbasses everywhere. impossible to avoid.

I did complain to ITV for flooding (Which is insulting to anyone) with the (Jamster) frog- axel F tune.


what drives me mad is I actually liked it but the flooding of it nearly burst my brain. Aneurysm or wot!
Don't complain to the station coz all you'll get is:

RE: Jamster

Thank you for your recent email regarding the above named advert.

The current advertisement by Jamster is an intense (brain overload), short campaign (Or is it? We'll see!) which has taken more slots than usual (Coz you like the money. You are begging for it. You love it! But what about your over-eight-year-old-viewers?) but please be assured (assured my butt!) that your comments have been duly noted (Have they? Have they realy?) on the Duty Log (I know where logs go) which is viewed on a daily basis by our senior management. (Arhhh! The senior management! He who is all power! and he Who prolly deletes the lot! Damn emails, they stop me from plucking my uni-brow! But he has spoken and I must listen

May I take this opportunity to thank you once again for taking the time to contact us here at ITV. (which translates as: 'sod off you simpleton who pays the TV licence. We prefer the revenue from ads so 'eff you!)

Kind regards

ITV DUTY OFFICE


I implore you. Ignore them! Complain to Ofcom instead. More welly and you won't get fobbed off!
Don't be brain-washed!

I like the flipping frog but not twice during every commercial break. And I do believe that we will have to put up with him for longer than the stated period because the date of release has been back-dated.

Surf! On a moody one"

[surfcookie]

Sorry to have to quote you KK but never take any notice of an agency person. They are in the job for the money and they brag like ...a bragging person! I've had the same thing me'self.
It ain't real for them, (soz to any agency peeps out there) but if they loved something they'd do it for real, not just brag about it.

If you like something you like it, even love it. Had a go at it at least! But still have a psasion for it. You spotted a fake. Be proud! Maybe he's a wanna-be.

I hate it when you try to explain and the person doesn't get what you're saying.

Best rid!


I just hope I'm getting what you're saying.

Surf! xx

PS: I'm hoping I can have a moan here too

Thanks for the +++++++.
I've just got back from a night of steak egg & chips and a few pints and after reading your replies i have calmed down. The problem with the fella was that he was so far up his own arse "because he DJ's in a bar in Cambridge" was that he just thought he knew it all, and he is in his 30's (just like us). Anyway fuck it i'm pissed and it took me ages to type this so i'm going to bed, but i still love you all.
Many thanks. Have a good Saturday.

gangsta black stuff

I actually liked it

did someone say sensible?

[bongolia]

Here's her present fave...if I can do this right....

[Ian Townsend]

Yup....just watched it again....definitely something about that farmer's wife!!

[the average man]

he told me his big want is that "Crazy Frog tune, you know that ring tone advert".

Its bad enough someone having that as their ring tone, but fuck me their (militant) telly ad campaign is driving me up the fucking wall. And someones buying those ringtones cos how else can they afford to pay for all those ads on primetime telly?

twats

[kikat]

did someone say sensible?

Sorry, that's my feeble mid thirties attempt at being -- errr street (shit, did it again).

Gangsta = My way of saying rap or hip hop.
Black stuff = Records.

Did have a bit of a hard day yesterday but last night down my local my bitch (sorry) won a huge Toblerone bar in the raffle. You cannot keep a good man down for long boyeee!! (sorry again).

[francis]

fair dos, i misread it as

gangsta black stuff = rap or hiphop

hence the

no excuse for the person who said they liked crazy frog though. What could clean their soul? Nothing except the Flames of Hell, i imagine, which is surely where they will go, and where they will be subjected to Crazy Frog Axel F ringtone for all eternity, played to them by the lesser demons who are responsible for the thing. Satan himself could not devise a more horrible punishment. The advert is a glimpse into the Pit, and the frog himself looks like a devil out of Breughel. The end is nigh, and only those who have somehow avoided Crazy Frog and 'Celebrity' love island could possibly contend that the flames are not licking at civilization's feet.

[kikat]

I have a feeling we'll be seeing and hearing alot more from that frog. The thing is it was slightly amusing when i first saw it weeks ago before the latest ad's on tv. Obviously someone smelt some money to be made in a Flat Eric Mr Blobby kinda way. There will be a cd single with a ltd edition 12 inch dj otto frog funk remix...aarrgghhh it will happen.
This country has a rich history of original and grounbreaking music, but still bollocks like this will sell millions.......Then they'll create a quirky voice so it can have it's own tv slot..... Then a film.....Toys!!!!!!!!!!!!
My girl has noticed that they have blacked out the frogs toilet bits in the advert. How weird and why was she looking?????

twats

Are they though? In spite of all the ads I have yet to hear this in the wild (as it were). Not that I want to. Still, I had to have it explained to me what it was that this was actually advertising. I still can't work out who it is aimed at though-little kid twats or retarded young adult twats or what....?

[bongolia]

they've had the ads on crap cable muic channels for months and months, but i hate music videos with a passion so haven't suffered that much. still don't think i've heard anyone with one though. also was talking about this the other day and someone said that they've finally paid the person who originally recorded it...

(the original, very bizarre car noise thing from 2001: http://web.archive.org/web/200306050...h/dengdeng.swf)

edit - just read the Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Frog) and looks like the sounds was around before the car thing... anyway the company have made 14 million quid from the ringtone!?!?

[kikat]

Just out of curiousity, what bar?

Are you from Cambridge too?

Did you go to the record fair at the guildhall today? It struck me as really weird. Just as many dealers selling 'breaks' and 'funky european jazz' as Shadows LP's and AC/DC picture discs. It didn't seem right.

One had a pile of crappy 7"s and instead of the normal 'sale' or 'bargains' sign had written 'crate diggers delight'

Still, myself and Dr Kraken purchased some nice homemade cupcakes at a jumble sale for the deaf afterwards, so it wasn't all bad

To be honest i can't remember the name of the bar but the name "Greyhound" seems to be rattling around in my head. Sorry my ear's started to heal up after a while.

No i live in Downham Market, Norfolk, but work in the East Cambs area.

I did'nt get to the record fair but at my local one's i've never seen boxes marked up as 'breaks' etc. Most of the dealers at our one just walk around with that f***ing book under their arm and just put anything what is'nt in that f***ing book in a pound box, very rare to find anything interesting. One old boy there hates rap & dance so much he said he bins anything related to the genre. If my girl was'nt there i would of smacked him ....oohhhhhh!!!!! i hate that attitude you get from those old prog rocker dealers, still maybe a change will come. I would rather see the records for sale in their box'es than in their bin. I would love to see what was in that box of 7"s at the fair you went to.

I think that was me that said I quite liked it francis...at first!, before being brainwashed by it that is.
I like axel f what can I say? Not now tho, not after the flooding that jamster and it's crazy frog has/is doing. But all credit to them, they have achieved their goal, they've gotten their name all over the country, on the news, everywhere, whether it be good or bad they have done what they set out to do! And the company's that have accepted them as sponsors have fallen for it all. But what of the other sponser's of those company's? Do they have a say?

Dis me all you will for liking it originally but remember:That was then! I'm not one of these brain-washed freaks who STILL like it and will buy the record of it/DL it onto my phone. Big difference! Read and digest!

I liked it as an advert (before it became intense) as I do all adverts that are amusing, entertaining and relevant.

THAT is my excuse! If not my reason. Not that I should have to explain it!

Me & the missus had a right larf...cheers for the link Bongolia

Well you have to love the Crazy Frog for this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertain...ic/4576119.stm

Anything to stop those bunch of po-faced c*nts (oops sorry wrong board)

[Si Cheeba]

to be honest I'd rather hear Axel f - rather than those coldplay boring bastards - perhaps they should get crazy frog in to liven up their big festival boredom inducing whiney jangly faux rock shite

[sport casual]

sounds like here's you farmer (unbelievable audio file from Fox radio) Oh yeah, he's a Republican!

[surfcookie]

It was this bit that got me 'It is a new version of the Beverly Hills Cop movie theme tune by Harold Faltermeyer, which reached number two in the UK 20 years ago.'

Twenty years ago!!! Now I feel old!

[Teessider]

Actually, us agency people look down on you staffies (at least we do in engineering work)
We come in on the big bucks, put in loads of overtime, then bugger off just before the end of the project & leave you to clear up any problems.

Oh, and we pay less tax thanks to being able to set up Ltd companies.

he he he....
