    I've always liked "An Englishman on Holiday"[^] :laugh:

    The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger. English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

    Yep, that's the kind of stuff that's going to cost me money. Pete, if you ever make it to the states, you're definitely buying the booze. :)

      Yoda just turned me on to a UK rock band (Thunder). Thanks. I didn't need that extra money anyway. Hang on a moment while I open Amazon in a second tab... :-D

        I was surprised to see that they were basically a child of the 90s (89 doesn't count for being an 80s band) since they have a very 70s meets 80s kinda sound.

          They certainly do. They have a sound that is a cross between Free and Magnum.

            As a singer, Paul Rogers was one of my earliest influences. So was Steve Marriot, the difference being I could actually hit the notes that Paul sang. :)

              I first saw them at Surrey Uni around 1985-86 in their previous incarnation (Terraplane[^]) and they were damn good even then. Mind you, i hadn't discovered The Wildhearts[^] or Skyclad[^] then!

                              All a bit dark for my taste. I liked Thunder because it was rock and roll from a happier time.
