| OK, I tried to boot my computer up from scratch and it did the same thing it did when I tried to update.
i.e. it didn't want to boot up.
Anyway, I'm back on after an Alt-Boot and can see all the smileys and add ons now.
But, too late I guess. _________________ Disprove the return of a potato (5)

| Well, it's over. That was odd. First of all I'm not keen on AOR New Wave, I don't know what you call it, but that sort of thing. But's weird how it sounds like, you know who, but lacks that overwritten clever-cleverness. I know the voice is the same, well, similar, but it's just not as irritating. |

| It is over. That was a very slick and energetic album that I felt worked from start to finish. It was a bit depressing though, as the sides being in the wrong order and a track going missing distracted me so much that, until Side 1 started, I found it hard to concentrate on it, plus I was also concerned about Nightie having technical troubles. I feel that was the worst running commentary we've ever done, because of the problems. Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. _________________ |

I though I bought my 'A' game to this one. I gave the album 3 *. |

| I don't even know how to rate the album, I was so distracted by other matters while listening to it that I can pass no judgement on it. _________________ |

It's just a song.

| The playlist and order is an absolute mess.
The track Maneuvers (sic) is completely missing. _________________ Disprove the return of a potato (5)
