Old and grimey
The best Steven Segal movie. That was the stimulating discussion in the work today. The best Steven Segal which them moved on to the best Van Damme movie, closely followed by the best Arnie movie. Personally, I've not really watched a lot of either Segal or Van Damme and have only seen more than a few of Arnie's efforts. Predator, Terminator, Terminator 2, Total Recall etc. Segal, I always thought was awful and Van Damme, well, I've only ever seen Timecop and that was not even half entertaining. As far as Arnie was concerned I always thought Total Recall was quite good. Davey opted for True Lies whereas Linda preferred Kindergarten Cop (I think she was joking with that one though) and when it came to Steven Segal, Craig said he preferred the guy's music?! The last time he was in Scotland was at Glasgow's Renfrew Ferry playing with his band, Thunderbox. What a great name, Thunderbox? It sounds a bit like a brand of underwear my mum used to buy me. The Renfrew Ferry now lies on the Anderston Quay across the water from where it used to be moored on the Windmillcroft Quay when I was last there. It was always good for a laugh and a jig as it hosted many ceilidh and band nights. Recently I'd heard it had undergone a major refurbishment so it may not be as old and grimey as it used to be. The best bars are always old and grimey though.. aren't they? Look at The Cathouse. You'd usually get a good night in there. The music was always great but for some reason we'd always insist in going in with our suit jackets and shirts and find ourselves surrounded by large, drunken, slobbering, horrendously smelly, hairy Glaswegian creatures. And that was only the women! There was no way you'd be caught chatting to any of them but then again, maybe that's why Steven Segal made a point of dropping by...
