I am currently writing on a novel (been workin on it for a while), and have just noticed the Spooky number of similarities between it and the album by The Darkness.
Here is the tracklisting of 'Permission to Land':
1. Black Shuck
2. Get Your Hands Off MY Woman
3. Growing On Me
4. I Believe In A Thing Called Love
5. Love Is Only A Feeling
6. Givin' Up
7. Stuck In A Rut
8. Friday Night
9. Love on The Rocks With No Ice
10. Holding My Own
Not only have they had the NERVE to steal my Heartland user name for the opening track (and animals called 'black shucks' feature prominently in my story); but one of the themes of my book is people being terrified of the unknown, or as the characters call it, 'the darkness'!
and several of the song titles (I haven't heard the album yet) spookily sound like other themes in my book.
so lads, STOP NICKING ME IDEAS!
Or perhaps it's all just a... coincidence? (cue Twilight Zone music)
Oi! The Darkness! quit it!!!

You leave the Darkness alone..although the guy has unfeasibly large thumbs, they still rock!!!!
Only a paand.
I dont realy want to cause a fuss 
BUT The Darkness are about as entertaining as a bad head cold.
And they dont realy live up to their name do they.

I'm sorry, but as soon as he starts that falsetto nonsense, he needs gagging, preferably on his own c*ck, for added amusement.
Other than that the music's alright.

Oi! Heartlanders! Quit it!!!
We were supposed to be debating wether the Darkness are tea leaves or not, not debating wether the band are any good.
Why can't you Heartlanders EVER stick to the topic?
So shut up before I come round and slap you all!

I've been having great weather recently. The days have been getting longer to, hence less Darkness.

Hello folks, and what an interesting question.
I think I find the names given by the US chiefs of staff to their occasional middle eastern forays (desert storm, shock and awe etc) more inspiring than the song titles on this album. Isn't that a depressing indictment? Out-named by some frisky US high school drop-outs and that condoleezza rice fellow.
I was debating this very question last weekend at the de Coverly Towers summer retreat in Super Cannes (did you know this place really existed? I thought it was just the name of a below par JG Ballard book).
Sorry, I should explain:- Mrs de C fancied a short break before we take Gdansk, and so she plumped for a last weekend rage against the dying of the summer light amongst the beautiful people in St Trop, rather than a weekend at home basking in the London sun. Another masterstroke of counter-cyclic planning from the other third. Apparently we are going skiing in July next year. Unbelievable.
Anyway, I digress. Back on le soliel deck, armed with a pastis (ah, pastis- and, yes, fellow heartlanders, the sweet perfumed embraces of juniper berries and fermented grape were too much to resist even for the Major) and bowl of pistachio nuts, pool water lapping lazily against my big toe, Mrs de C and I mused over what we should call my forthcoming invasion of Poland. You've simply got to get the details right. Haven't settled on anything yet, but the current view is that there is something that can be worked around Warsaw, tea and war sortie. Perhaps, as the majority of you appear to be writing books when not sharing your wisdom on this forum, you could come up with a suggestion or two. I would be most obliged.
Well that is all for the moment really. Back in Blighty now at the main residence, but I hope that has answered your question Mr Shuck (are you really named after an animal? how exciting. I've always been partial to wombats. Best served with potato dauphinoise and a sprig of thyme. Are Black Shucks like wombats?), and please feel free to drop round at de Coverly Towers any time for a campari and soda.
The same goes for the rest of you. Just tinker my belle at the entrance, whisper the magic words: pixie dust lust a must, and you'll be most welcome. Well, with Mrs de C anyway, if you get the tinkering right.

You know, without the apostrophe in 'rocks,' this takes on an entirely different meaning. Children, consider this a lesson in why punctuation is just so important for proper communication.Jim wrote: But then again, cock rocks my thang.
