Despite some unconfirmed rumors, there were no cooler geeks in the '70s.

Unless you locked a couple in the freezer.

It's blazing hot at the beach, and we just got chased out of the pool by a sudden thunderstorm. So I had a big bowl of sugar-free strawberry ice cream.

I'm just going to assume you mean that there were no cooler geeks than me in the 70's.

Being born in 1970, I was clearly a child prodigeek (just don't look at those photos of me in Bay City Rollers garb - they were a mother-enforced aberration, honest).

Today it is mostly overcast, with occasional showers. Cool, winter 20C. Nice day for photography (well, for my style of anyway).

Cheers,
Marc

I would have been happy to do so until you brought up the Bay City Rollers.
I'm sorry, mate.

Your mother did that to you.

Unspeakable.

Yes, she did, and for my own sanity I prefer to think I wasn't complicit (I wish I could say the same about ABBA and the air-guitarring).

recluse · 06-18-2010, 11:01 PM

ABBA?
Mama Farking Mia ABBA?

Oh, you poor tortured soul!

I don't want to talk, about things I've gone through. Though it's hurting me, now it's history.

Cheers,

Aw, c'mere, Marc!

*BIG HUG*

You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.

Remember, everything you bottle up inside is something the world will regret later. When you finally snap.

cold, windy .... yep - normality .....

recluse · 06-19-2010, 03:01 AM

Yes, it is fine weather we're having.
Mind you, the normality we used to have when I was a lad was much more normal.

GeoffC · 06-19-2010, 03:07 AM

oh definitely more normal, we used to set the clock to it, it was that predictable ....

recluse · 06-19-2010, 03:16 AM

You didn't need some fancy weatherman to tell you what was going on. As long as you weren't completely daft, you knew. And we were glad of it, let me tell you! Nothing fills a man with pride more than dead on predictability. None of this hoity toity phenomena or events or global nonsense these kids today are all clamoring for!

kennyc · 06-19-2010, 06:18 AM

Hot, sunny.....same as yesterday, same as tomorrow.
