I know better than to look them up after listening to them. Sounds like disco era sh*t, and I hated disco!

Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Yeah, I grew up in that time as well and hear fragments of the songs playing in my head as I am reading your post.
To me they kind of fall in the same category as Goombay Dance Band[^].

I totally understand the comments in this thread, but coming across those songs (once or twice in a decade) brings back a lot of good memories, so I really can't bring myself to join the hating on this one.

Nope: it's 30,000 rep points and £2 these days.

Bergholt Stuttley Johnson31-Jul-14 4:27

31-Jul-14 4:27

wow they are worth less than I thought, even an Argentinian peso is worth more than that

30000 rep point = -£1

question is, is 60000 = -£2 or £0?
