Why were all the speaker channels on my Jukebox working perfectly when i laid it up 4 months ago and now i have set it back up, only one channel works?

 

Go Figure! I have checked everything and am now considering the possibility of AMP failure.

 

Damn

6 months twice weekly (some times three) and I still haven't drowned yet. Although I have being steadily gaining weight rather than losing It, witch was actually my intentions.

The only time I have been in a gym apart from school PE was for exams and my university graduation ceremony. I've never voluntary played any form of sports or done exercise in one.

Is the song 'I drove all night' by Roy Orbison genuinely a love song or is it really about rape?

No. I think it's a love song about a couple living apart. Cyndi Lauper recorded it as well.

Your right, it is, My other half just explained it to me much to her amusement!

 

she couldn't believe i was so dumb.

 

Mind you whenever meatloaf used to play and he said 'i will do anything for love, but i won't do that' I always used to ask 'won't do what?'

 

She just said, listen to the words...... listen to the words....

He he. If you want creepy lyrics, listen to the Beatles or the Fourmost singing "Hello Little Girl". It was probably innocent back in the 60s but will never get played on the radio again I imagine.

I used to quite enjoy a little bit of Rolf Harris when the occasion called until i realised that he could well have enjoyed a bit of me as a child.

 

No more tie me kangaroo down sport for me.

 

I wonder now what he meant by two little boys had two little toys?

My mum asked this. In the UK you can't vote under the age of 18 so how come 16 and 17 year olds are allowed to vote in the Scottish referendum as Scotland is currently still part of the UK?

All comes down to politics. When a referendum like this goes through, it has to be done with pre-determined criteria for the voting process. Scotland wanted 16-17 year olds included and England agreed. Scotland believe that a high number of young Scots will vote for independence so wanted them included. No other reason. They won't be able to vote in any elections though until they turn 18. It may be the case that the 16-7 year old vote is the one that determines the outcome.

Fair enough. If I was Scottish I would be scared that my future could be decided by a bunch of people who's only major decision in life so far is what they want to study at A level.

 

I had no clue what I want when I was 16 (apart from a mini). I choose my university on a gut feeling and I was drunk when I did it*. Lucky for me this decision turned out OK for me as Nottingham university was good.

 

* This isn't a joke by the way. I was drunk still from a party the night before, when I went to visit Nottingham university, I was still drunk from a party the night before when I visited Sheffield, I was hungover at Liverpool and Aston and I hadn't slept for over 48 hours when I went to Coventry although was at least sober.

 

It probably a good idea I am not allowed to vote in this referendum.

I think it's a bad idea. Kids that age are influenced by things such as films, books and establishing their identity as an independent person in a wholly independent nation. They may not base their decision on future employment, economy or welfare. Bit scary...!
