seems my 'a' wasn't working when I posted that or else I was drunk and forgot to use the 'a' key lol

I seem to miss out a lot of letters all the time when I'm typing. The problem is that I do it most in essays and exams :P

Yes, that's me in a toga.
At least you have spellcheck to ensure those mistakes on your essays and stuff are redressed. My grammar, unfortunately, is nothing short of s*ithouse. Grammar on Word is rubbish and it cramps one's own personal writing style (some Asian students have been caught out by this in Commerce, as well as their propensity to deliberately or accidently plagiarise, but that's just my observation). Bad grammar is something that has plagued me ever since Primary School and has improved marginally. Not good when writing up and proof-reading a thesis :blush:

I was at a place I hadn't been to in several years- it was called a gym :rofl
Anyways, the music they play while you work is your standard industrial-rock/pop/techno stuff to keep you pumped and working. It was then that I heard the most god-awful classic-song remake in my entire life.

Some tool had decided to do a remake of the famous late 70s-early 80s hit "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles. I was outraged! I haven't heard such an awful remake since Siberia decided to mutilate "When I was Young" by Supertramp...

It would seem that we are experiencing what England were experiencing when we were in a real boom period: they were lucky to get 4 posts a day. But now they have had a population boom (300 to be exact), and now their forums are going right off.

Come the holidays I am hoping to do some more recruitment like I did last year. I think we ended up with around an extra75 to 80 nations, many who are still with us and who joined the boards.
Exams are over also so maybe we'll have a little more activity here. perhaps we need to have some activities to get us moving. I was thinking of having a trivia game. It's fun and everyone can play by logging into the website. I'll set it up for the new year.

About Schnapps Drinkers' comment on music at his gym - I seem to remember that the Presidents of the United States of America did a version of Video Killed The Radio Star. That might be it.

Anyway, I also generally hate cover versions of hit songs. The type of remakes I hate most are:

- Rap versions of non-rap songs, eg. Eminem's Like Toy Soldiers

- Dance versions of non-dance songs, eg. Scooter's version of The Logical Song by Supertramp (yeah I stole that one off Schnapps Drinkers).

- Any cover version where the original is by a good band and the cover is by a crap band, eg. The All Saint's version of RHCP's Under The Bridge.

- Any cover version of Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns 'N Roses eg. Sheryl Crow's and that dance version.

I should point out that there are some very good cover versions, but my favourite is Jimi Hendrix's version of Bob Dylan's All Along The Watchtower.

Changing to a similar topic; I work at Woolworths and I continue to wonder why they and other similar stores continue to play loads of bad music and very little good music over the PA. Sure, they have got some good songs by Creedence Clearwater Revival and others, but there is still too much Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, Beyonce etc.
