IS Bjorn Bennett TAKEN?? Yes, married in fact.

Neutrality

This article doesn't meet with Wikipedia's standards of neutrality. It needs to be cleaned up to remove the suggestion that the christian religion is correct. God, for example, cannot be referred to as a real being here.

A few sources wouldn't go astray either!—Preceding unsigned comment added by Peternz (talk • contribs) 01:57, 16 January 2008

I would suggest going back to this version, http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=The_Lads&oldid=184153111 Maybe some of the quotes at the end of the current version could stay. 20:26, 19 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.211.110.110 (talk)

I would agree that the quotes should be cited. We should understand where those comments were made. Although, the comments reflect the belief of the band member/s and helps to understand the subject more. I do not believe direct quotes should be censored, simply sourced. I challenge that this dispute is not with the content here but the objectors equal conviction that there is no God. Is there? Isn't there? thats not what we are determining. Do the comments made by a member of this band have a valid place in helping us know more information about them? That is the question.

Thoughts? and thank you for your tolerance --Thumper369 (talk) 01:01, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see the article has been altered to include the citations requested which is great. Glad to see that the requested censorship of an individual's beliefs has failed. In the author's defense, the national anthem of New Zealand (where the band comes from) and US currency (where the band resides) are both full of statements of God's reality. I can see why the author would think the assumption of God's reality was an acceptible viewpoint. Thoughts? Comments? Lets keep it open-minded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.48.105.172 (talk) 23:12, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

At least they didn't talk about Jesus being a real historical figure! Oh wait, that's right Josephus cleared that one up for us. As if we didn't already know, before the dead sea scrolls, that he was the most influential human being in the history of... ...well, human history. Good thing we're all openminded, forward thinking people who aren't ignorant enough to argue the veracity of that viewpoint. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.57.29.89 (talk) 05:14, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Lads

The lads are a band/parkour group from eynsham. I've seen them at myspace.com/theladsonline —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.81.102.162 (talk) 13:16, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, anyone can claim the name "The Lads" and often do. Mostly pub/bar bands etc. But when it comes to recording and royalties (mechanical and publishing) that's where the legal right to claim the name becomes a lot clearer. Basically, as I understand it, the law gives precedence to whichever claimant has a higher profile. I would be surprised if anyone were to find a band called "The Lads" with a higher profile than the New Zealand band relocated to Nashville mentioned above. Should the band (from eynsham) using The Lads name have any aspirations to record or collect royalties in any way I would suggest a name change, sooner rather than later, because they will eventually have to discard it and will confuse all their fans.
