TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Feb. 25 2008, 16:58 Hope its true. I quite like the idea Mike has his own Tubular Bells carpets everywhere he goes. Like the all the best things he does it hovers in that dizzy zone between being fantastically cool but also wonderfully naff   Back to top

larstangmark Group: Members Posts: 1767 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: Feb. 25 2008, 17:10 I like to imagine Mike has a huge, green, fuzzy, circular Hergest Ridge carpet complete with embrodied red plane and brown dog. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

Marky Group: Members Posts: 390 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: Feb. 25 2008, 18:05 yeah, only problem is with a carpet like that you'd feel like mowing it.... Back to top

Ebony Group: Members Posts: 172 Joined: June 2007 Posted: Feb. 25 2008, 18:17 ...And then I'd cry when I accidentally caught the dog's tail with my mower blade! I've crossed the line of idioticism.  I'll stop now. Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Feb. 25 2008, 18:43 You think you'd cry...what about that poor dog who's just had his tail mown off? I think that the wonderful thing about tabloids is how they tell people what they want to believe (and what they want people to believe...). Did Mike have tubular bells carpets in Ibiza? I really don't know, but I'd like to believe it! It's like something out of one of Marko's cartoons. Next they'll be telling us he had a set of tubular bells as a doorbell... Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Feb. 25 2008, 19:41 But where does it end? Tubular toilet roll? Did Mr N Gallagher ever get rid of that "eye-sore" boat? Were there topless virgins dancing around the guitar shaped pool? Come on The Sun - we demand to be told! Can you imagine the scene - "I was in Kosovo me, that Jeremy Clarkson is a decent bloke, my sister plays Polo, Ooh - i love that carpet motif, want to pop round for coffee?". I really feel fo Noel....     -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Feb. 26 2008, 02:50 And when Noel moved in, did he find the remains of a half-eaten hamster sandwich in the kitchen..... Tubular carpets sounds cool though, wonder if that was for real   -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

Quote (TOBY @ Feb. 25 2008, 16:58) Hope its true. I quite like the idea Mike has his own Tubular Bells carpets everywhere he goes. Makes one wonder... is Mike is more obsessed with TB than even his fans are?   (BTW, I know very little about Noel Gallagher and James Blunt... should I be on Noel's side or on James'??) -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time? (On account of the earth's orbit around the Sun and all that). So it seems he never had to make the choice after all. I bet he's kicking himself now." - clotty Back to top

Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1868 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Feb. 26 2008, 17:06 I remember with emotion a few years ago when the substance that leaves my body directly to the toilet was shaped exactly like the famous logo. Felt criminal to flush it. Back to top

The picture that description conjours up in the mind is really quite something.I wonder how tempted some people would be to get out the digital camera,and save it for posterity? Good grief,I honestly hope I`m never faced with that terrible dilemma.Keep me on the straight and narrow oh Lord,and I shall be forever in your debt. Back to top

Sweetpea Group: Members Posts: 1476 Joined: April 2007 Posted: Mar. 09 2008, 03:33 I think Olivier's Tubular "substance" experience must be the most quoted comment ever on MOF*. (* I was about to say "TubularBoard", but we've recently had a name change, so I'm just going with the flow.) -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?
