- I always thought it was a sample of the female voxcanoe
- Me too actually until I saw this a while backprophetone
- Where did this magical time goprophetone
- It is a sample, from this https://www.youtube.…MrT
- lots of singers miming to samples on TOTP around this time, eg https://www.youtube.…MrT
- well, that makes senseprophetone
- it was an odd period where solo/knob-twiddler music needed to fit the band/performance template. Ergo lots of dancers and dodgy miming. Happy days.MrT
- We didn't have TOTP here in Canada in 90s but we did have this single in our Alpine decks smashing our VW GTI rear hatch glass on late Friday nightsprophetone
- Such an amazing tune... takes me back!sab

50 years of U2.
I discovered them thanks to a tacky boyfriend my sister had—a huge fan of *The Joshua Tree* (I never really liked him or that album all that much).
That said, *Achtung Baby*... that one blew me away.
It’s a shame; these days, my stomach turns whenever I hear them.
It’s funny how something you loved so much back then can end up being something you absolutely loathe years later.
With lentils, it’s the opposite: I hated them as a kid, but now I adore them. Maybe Bono just ages worse than lentil stew?
- Achtung lp was my real first time I cared about them - they nailed the that 90s sound and imagery, design, saw them live for that tour, their best imoprophetone
- I’m the same lol, for some reason, I can’t listen to them now, and I listen to tonnes of 90s stuffprophetone
- I still love the fly, but...OBBTKN
- I'm kind of the opposite... I enjoyed Achtung Baby but anything after that was a letdown. Anything Joshua Tree and before still has a place in my heart.PonyBoy
- I like ‘Zooropa’ the tune still but maybe like a once a year listening lolprophetone
- POP was still holding its own... but from then on, it was a freefall with no brakes.OBBTKN
- i was at the achtung baby tour gig ,, with the free connies handout... all the media stuff was kinda good, cant listen to it anymore.. except for the openningneverscared
- . except for the openning riff from that album for 30 secondsneverscared
- Totally with you on this. I think it's Bono's arrogance. Achtung Baby, Zooropa and Pop were my U2 phase. Still listen every now and then. Fuck, they're on now!Ianbolton
- I don't care not to like them... actually feels trendy to bash Bono these days. Live and let live.canoe
- ooh bono lives very well... trashing him or not...neverscared
- Unforgettable Fire - produced by Brian Eno - is an amazing record. Recorded in a castle in Ireland, Eno's fingerprint all over it. Highly enjoyable!stoplying
- ^They did another album with Eno as Passengers. is great if you dig Eno stuff.futurefood
- I saw them support Talking Heads in London in 1980 and it was evident to me that they were shite then and to be forever avoided.Gardener
- Business rockmort_
- I gotta say though, their popularity and coming from my hometown meant we could all aspire be rock stars and a lot of good music came out of Dublin / Ireland.mort_
- That may not have without U2 blowing upmort_
- Read his book and you'll get a better understanding of the band and Bono, they're hardly 'business rock'.canoe
- ^ Read it as well...stoplying

I use Whatsapp on my desktop whilst at work and I'm increasingly Getting It Wrong.
Twice in the last two days I've fucked up - sending my partner confirmation that I'd finished a job (meant to go to a client - no problerm, but a bit weird) and just now responding to my partner's enquiry, not realising I was in the Kid's Class Whatsapp group :\ Thankfully there were no obscenities...

Well it's official, after getting a mark on my arm checked out I was told beyond a shadow of a doubt that is was an age spot!
It's only a matter of time friends, it's been real... a fucking age spot, christ...
- _me_2
used the '51-60' age group option for the first time the the other day....

Ran a 16km trail race. Great. Placed 4th overall...
...1st place in the "Masters" category - 40 - 60!!!
Talked about mixed emotion(s). I guess YOLO / health is wealth AND I'm in good standing for my age. It felt like a "good job old man / you still got it!" kind of deal...
- Well done! I only run road races, and the guys from my age group (45-49) are too fast...dmay
- nicePonyBoy
- Amazing man! I’ve gotten my time down to a sad 6:15/ km for my 5 k runs, what do you recon this would place me at? Dead last lol?_niko
- Thanks bro(s)! The race was trail / elevation heavy (literally up a GDMF ski hill!!!). My 5 km's (road) sit a hair over 20:00 - 22:30...ideaist
- ...@dmay: it's a neat age group where you can still perform pretty well as we all age differently AND live longer (IF we prioritize health, eh?!)ideaist
- @_niko, NOT dead last, BUT not first. mid pack?! Lolz. Again, IF you're dealing with elevation it's a different beast and massive drop in pace.ideaist
- Haha thanks man I’ve got work to do! You’re times are blazing!!!_niko
- *your_niko
- i ran my first race in may. placed 70th out of something like 420. for early 40s, i was rather pleased with myself, but 4th... whoa!!scruffics
- What's your distance / time @scruffics! All that matters is you're moving / we're ALL built to move.ideaist
- oh yeah same distance 16k (10 miles). chip time 1:14:37 @ 4:40 min/kmscruffics
- I’m at around 39:30 for the 10k, the race I got my pb I was 120th... a week later, pacing a friend, was 5th, 2 minutes slowerdmay
- So great man! - I still run around my lake 3.5 miles every other day at about a 9+ min mile. Getting slower and dealing with more pain, but I can't not run!stoplying

Kidney stones FTW!
Fuck, been in pain since 4am went to emergency and confirmed.
Ugh
- Ask if you can keep them - ground down they taste great drizzled over tiramisu.Nairn
- My step dad battles them. I hear it's pain like nothing else. I drove him up and down the Kenai peninsula 2 years ago getting kicked out of Emergency...PonyBoy
- ... Rooms as he's an intolerable prick that actually threatened / scared the shit out of more than one Doc / Nurse. Dude's out of his mind when in kidney pain.PonyBoy
- Chill, PonyDad. They're only trying to help.CyBrainX
- Had them - and they suck. Passed mine into a solo cup and had it analyzed. Cut down on the spinach, they said!stoplying
- Ive had a bunch (14). Worst pain I've ever had. Hang in there :(Akagiyama
