I'm pretty sure they teach weegie in schools as a second language now. Extremely beneficial in this multi cultural world we live in. Learning to order a deep fried pizza & a can of bru in any country is essential.

Do people actually deep fry pizzas?

I had kebab meat on a pizza once. Tasted like carpet.

They do indeed. Battered first of course. You've never lived till you've experienced the delight that is the "pizza crunchy". It'll be a short life mind but a fulfilled life none the less.
Usually grab one when I'm up visiting the rellies. Instantly regret it.

The US has state fairs which regularly deep-fry anything and everything you can think of. Most popular is the deep-fried twinkie. But yes deep-fry pizza sounds plausible.
In fact found this, from one of the biggest, if not the biggest, state fair in the US, the one in Texas near Dallas.
Deep fried Mars bar exists in my home town. I'm sure it does in Scotland too.

I like this idea!
We each receive one person (victim) who we proceed to force feed all the deep fried delicacies each of our countries have to offer. They rate each dish out of 5 & if they're able to talk/walk/live by the end then we receive an additional 10pts.

deep fried pizza taste good, but most of the cheese and bits come off
its best to use a frying pan and put them upside down first

Thankyou young Olly, add it to my tab. I'm off to Glasgow tomorrow, I'll pay you in deep fried pizzas 👍

The renewal lasts for 3 months at I don't need hosting beyond getting a new job. The domain can be transferred to an alternate host quite simply though

I tried to, but my phone doesn't seem to want to make it happen.
BTW, did a quick 30 min mix with the 1st lot of unmixed tracks earlier - quite fun considering I didn't listen to them beforehand!

Haven't had the chance to listen to it all in depth, but the IFY & Nobody Mix is the standout one for me so far. But they've all been great! A very good range of tracks from the hardcore scene.

I've been having a think recently about what I can offer through the Future State label that's more unique & original. I want to take things in a slightly different direction to that of all the other labels out there.
Having studied some opinions (through this site mostly) i've decided on the idea of centering what we do round a youtube channel with a difference! I'm currently recruiting presenters/vloggers in various parts of the world. The idea is that each of them visit events local to them, interview some of the dj's & producers that are in the area while gathering footage of each event they visit. Each presenter will become the rep for that country/cities hardcore scene & together through them, we can let the world know what each scene has to offer.
The Hardcore scene as a whole has spread far & wide due to the growing popularity of social media, but what struck me is how distant things still seem in terms of understanding just how people are interacting & enjoying hardcore throughout the world.
The FS TV channel will become the central hub for the international scene. It will be a place for ravers the world over to come together, not only to share a few text based comments but to physically learn about other scenes through the eyes of our presenters/reps as they gather footage & go about their interviews.
On top of that idea I want to push some real inciteful production & dj tutorials, which again will feature tutors from various parts of the world to further enforce the idea of unity. One scene.
We will be working closely with a channel most of you are probably already familiar with called 'Jordesuvi'. While our partner channel will be handling the latest hardcore release info, we'll be concentrating on the above. Working together we'll cover all bases regarding the international Hardcore scene & guiding viewers back & forwards between both channels.
If you like the idea of this then please take a second to check out both channels & subscribe. Clearly the FS channel itself is in it's infancy & it's quite a task to undertake, but I have every faith that as we grow this will become a very productive venture helping the many many people involved & offering some real enjoyable viewing. As the idea grows then so will our resources, allowing us access to better equipment, larger events, more exclusive interviews, & overall a higher standard of production.
The first few videos are already published & we have many more lined up for release over the coming weeks. Please take a second to give them a share & of course, click subscribe!
If you'd like to get involved in the channel in any way be sure to let us know by contacting [email protected]
Thanks for taking the time to read my usual, long winded explanations & I hope you enjoy the channel :)
Don't forget, I also host a monthly show on this very site called 'The Future State Show' (<< I know, it took me all day to think that up!)
Our next guest is the one & only S3RL alongside Fallon & MC Offside! Full info on upcoming shows below & please give the FS fb page a like to stay in the loop!
