As a Geologist I was pretty excited about the title of this thread.  Since it's only available to people in the UK I'll just imagine it's what I thought it was. ;)  By the way Chalk is a type of sedimentary rock so that would be a great nickname for a Geologist.

I thought it was about rocks too.

Clearly, neither of you were avid readers of NME then?   ;)

I was (and still am) really into music and used to see his name credited in the paper and dream about being able to shoot at the gigs I attended.

Sorry, not me.  I like to think I know a smidgen about music.  Will definitely watch the film though.

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who was thinking fintstones on this one... now where's that granite?
