The 1980's were an era where some of us liked the music and girls (please try NOT to throw up Kristian, I know your feelings on the subject). But the 1970's were the polyester uears , and the 1990's were the age of rap. The 1980's were to me a brief oaisis. [:)]

The 90s were certainly not all rap. [:-]

You liked grunge, didn't you? 'fess up!

I'm going to agree with Steve on this, it was not all rap. We had Oasis, Blur, The Verve, Pulp, Ocean Colour Scene, Stone Roses, James, Garbage, Men at Work. There was some good stuff towards the end as well, the Stereophonics and Travis.


And, er, Take That, Boyzone and the Spice Girls [8|]


I've got to admit to a bit of 80's nostalgia though. The Clash, Elvis Costello, Genesis. Dear Thread I'm uncool [:D] And the Kinks.

So how are things Martin? We haven't seen you quite as much as usual lately. Family and job keeping you busy? [:)]

You could say that [:D] I'm on another course, so I've only really got weekends off for a while.

I just noticed something on my second play-through of DAO. In the first game, my male warrior had Morrigan the witch as his lover, while in this game, my female elf rogue has Lelianna the bard as her lover.

When my former character kissed Morrigan, she kept her eyes open. When my current character kisses Lelianna, she has her eyes closed.

Nice touch again, Bioware; good subtle display of the difference between the two NPCs.

I'm going to agree with Steve on this, it was not all rap. We had Oasis, Blur, The Verve, Pulp, Ocean Colour Scene, Stone Roses, James, Garbage, Men at Work. There was some good stuff towards the end as well, the Stereophonics and Travis.

If liking The Clash, Elvis Costello, Genesis and the Kinks is "uncool", I guess that's what I am. Blur, Garbage and The Verve were good.

Loathed Oasis, though. My Good Thread, they sucked.

I've not noticed that, although my char seems to have got Alistair interested in her so...

My first run through ended up with a romance with Morrigan, and some other stuff [;)] It all turned out OK in the end mind.

I liked the 1st three very much. Of course , I am uncool and proud of it! [:D]

No, it's a course run by the RAF here at Brize. The RB-211 Q-course, happy times. It's worth some decent stuff out in civvy street though, with the equivalent civvy qualification I could almost emigrate to Canada with that alone [:D] And I've got 3 of them, although I'm not sure why I'd want to go to Canada.

I told Morrigan I wouldn't go through with her "plan" at the end, and she scarpered. I don't believe for a second that she was sincere in her feelings for my character.

I liked Oasis, they peaked with What's the Story. Their recent stuff was pretty pants really, except the importance of being idle. But that's just one song.

I think the only band since 2000 that's made it onto my playlist is the Kaiser Chiefs. The Verve stopped me from going mental in Al Udeid a couple of summers ago, almost every radio station was playing Kid Rock's song. BFBS was playing Love is Noise instead.

Well, there are some nice places in Canada , but if you are thinking of switching to the Canadian Armed forces I'm not sure you'd find the same satisfaction as you have in the RAF. I've found that the smaller the forces, the less the oportunities. [:)]

I went through with it, I didn't have much choice or I'd have been mageless. And upset Alistair enough to make him leave. And I killed Wynne and Zevran early in the game. Shale did well for me though, not bad for a freebie [:)]

Yeah Dixie. Canadian forces base Greenwood used to have a huge indoor hockey rink. The biggest thing on the base! [:)]

I'm happy where I am, for now. Maybe if I didn't have a family to look after I'd consider moving into civvy street, but a guaranteed 25k is better than a maybe 50k.

Very good point. And there is always after you retire! [:)]
