    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'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. :)

            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. :)

The guy in the middle of the picture (looks like a cross between Kirk Hammett and a Regency Monarch) is the guy I regularly jam with; the young wunderking Micky McCrystal (or Micky Crystal if you go by his stage name).

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

                                      Not only will I get Mr D spending more money, I shall do the same to Miss M. Buwahahahaaaa. May I also interest you in Deeexpus[^]? The guy in the middle of the picture (looks like a cross between Kirk Hammett and a Regency Monarch) is the guy I regularly jam with; the young wunderking Micky McCrystal (or Micky Crystal if you go by his stage name).

                                      I've been called many things, but "Miss M. Buwahahahaaaa" is a new one. Should I update my LinkedIn profile now?
