Shiit. I need to back that up. Most of you will not be impressed, but JSBX it is... I'm posting the tunes. It's a fekkin' music thread!!! I had to look Ian Brown up 😄

Since the year turned into 2019, I was coincidentally thinking about 1994. Feck me, I was thinking. That was 25 years ago. Some truly epic tunes then. Just that one year never mind picking a favourite from the whole decade. I rediscovered music around then and have been boring you all here ever since

Not my 1st choice, but I was actually appreciating Hud's 60'd dilema 😋

I'm still struggling to pick one from the 1940's 'cause I've a few favourites. Dizzie Gillespie - Manteca, Leadbelly - Where Did You Sleep Last Night, T-Bone - Stormy Monday, Perry Como - Sweet Sixteen (my folks met at school 😍 ), The East German & Soviet national anthems (just to balance my Wagner post ), Robert Wilson - Road to the Isles, but here's Peggy Lee & Benny Goodman just so I can post this video...

What's wrong with the 30's? Was there no good music before the 40's? 😋 So here's my 40's favourite. 1840's

Deffo. Always minds me of my big cousin. This is so wrong, but...

OK, it was a while ago. We were out west in Vancouver and on Vancouver Island. Fekkin' loved it. Pacific coast makes me want to greet.

I remember Gdansk's old waterfront being really busy during the day, then deserted at night. Can't remember if that was 'cause it was a school night, but did see busloads of day-trippers coming and going. I think they were Germans coming to visit old Dansig where their recent ancestors had been booted out of. I think WW2 kicked off in the area. We stayed in a hotel near the post office and the story there is quite harrowing. There's a monument outside it. On the lighter side thought, that wee hotel's breakfast was epic. I also learned what a vodka and coke was all about. Poles would have one wee glass of coke for sipping throughout their meal and a bottle of voddy on ice to quench the thirst. And another bottle after the pair had finished that during their salad starter

This is Canada mind. Supermarkets cannot even sell booze. You have to go to a state licenced offy and run the gauntlet of jakeys and their dugs for yer six pack of Molson or Labatt's. Been there, did it ...felt so dirty 😓

"Vive le Québec libre !"

I know the ones you mean. Like shot glasses. My folks had a couple with gold trim in the 60s/70s. The men used to drink their blended whisky in bigger tumblers with lemonade (or green ginger) though. I used the wee glasses for my grannies' ginger wine.

🙄

A wee bit chilly? Where is the Goldilocks moonbase?

Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest a reason. The red socks did add a more aggressive look I think.

True. The red socks seem to become established in the 50's though, giving the union look.

Being so young, I'd only ever heard yon Beatles cover until I came to the TAMB. A certain member introduced me/us to The Rain on here and I still love it. I tried looking for the original post on the archive board and just got nostalgigated. Oanyhoo...

Originally seen in back and white.

On here to see if I missed anything as I was asleep before 9pm. Me and Mrs Grim coughing and spluttering through the night. I'm confused now as to when I should have my glass for the bells. The very best to you all in 2019

Wait 'til the cat sees this... https://ksr-video.imgix.net/projects/2714323/video-727466-h264_high.mp4

I knew I shouldn't have opened this thread. Is it possible to catch a TAMB virus? 😓

Oh feck. I'm never gonna be a mod now. Just read back and realised how one sided I might appear. Rangers threads here I go... 🐻

Big Ramy, I love you dearly, but this is a TA message board. Calm yersel If all you want is to have a huddle, then other sites are available. Remember you are among friends here. FFS It's Christmas!

OK, having (yet another) party in my own pants tonight... Sookie, Sookie 😬
