3 Greatest Regrets of the 80s

My 3 biggest regrets are:1. That I didn't start reading the Beano a few years earlier than I did; all those missed Tom, Dick & Sally strips, *sob*.2. That I somehow missed the 3rd series of Terrahawks (the It-star episodes) at the time.3. The most boring one: that I didn't write a better story i...

Duran Duran

I think years ago, someone here said that Erasure's Sometimes made him think of Terrahawks. That is a great song, but it's not one of my own Thawks-nostalgia songs; instead, it makes me think of the Beano. Actually, that gives me an idea for another thread....

Duran Duran

Well I think Is There Something I Should Know? = their absolute masterpiece. And I reckon Simon Le Bon's second-best song = Election Day (but that's by Arcadia, not Duran Duran). The DD runners-up...probably The Reflex (which had a great video, with a tidal wave coming out of a screen), and New Moon...

Duran Duran

The other day my mum told me she doesn't associate any popsongs with programmes, unless the song = the show's theme-tune. She obviously never thought about her favourite programmes whilst listening to music! My personal song associations = usually fixed for life; but I may have an occasional change....

Guess who's Gonna be the Great Kate for a Night!

Yeah, that would have saved me the cost of the taxi home!The party was fun, although frustratingly, nobody else there was familiar with Terrahawks (many of them were nearly 10 years younger than me). 2 people asked me if my zeroid was R2D2. It's a shame there was no karaoke in the bar; I would have ...

Guess who's Gonna be the Great Kate for a Night!

Yes, a week on Saturday, a friend of mine is having a party, held at a bar, with the theme of Superheroes & Villains. Finally, my chance to be Miss Kestrel! I've bought a bright pink Afro wig from a party-shop near me. I nearly threw in the towel when I failed to find an outfit like Kate's anywh...

Questions About 5 TV Shows

Heehee, some good answers there, especially to question 14! (How about Kate/Mary/Cystar then having a "queefing" contest with Katie & Katherine?)But I owe an apology to you and anyone else interested in the game, as I didn't make something clear: each player can select and list 5 of hi...

Secret Santa

This year, I ended up with a CD of Xmas carol tunes performed in symphony style. Good news: I'm back in touch with the Internet friend, after a silence of nearly 12 months. She's alive, but her name is different from what she told me before: she had wanted to kill off her former Internet "perso...
