How does that cover sit with you, not trying to trip you up, just think the entire work is exceptional. Worst song they ever recorded in the run from Crocodiles to Ocean Rain. (The Golden Period if you like) I was there at Crystal Day when they did it too. In fact AYNIL might actually be even the Beatles song I hate more than any other. I still have a copy of it on the double gatefold 7" Seven Seas single though EDIT: For another thread but that Youtube annoys me too because its the wrong bloody cover, it should be...

Sid4ever Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 The Bunneymen, Aztec Camera, The Icicle Works and OMD, that’s my 80’s right there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 26, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2020 Here's one, when the weather is like it is now, hot and muggy, I always open as many windows in the flat as possible. Get some air circulating around the place to cool it down. But my other half is adamant that opening the windows lets the hot air in and in fact makes the flat hotter. I cannot see how she is right, unless we had air conditioning (which we don't. We have a fan and that's it.) Who's right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving air is certainly better than stagnant air. Like a car, better with the windows open on a hot day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if you have one window open she'd be right because it doesn't really circulate. We came back from a whole day out of the flat the other day and it was sweltering inside. Half an hour with the windows open and it was noticeably cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted June 26, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2020 How did I get onto OWL messaging link for Hertfordshire? I have my own domain, so it's not like someone just fat-fingered a character when signing up with their e-mail address. I've gone and tried to remove myself but you have to log on to do so and I don't have the password. On the plus side, if I ever plan a trip to the UK and want to know what's happening in Hertfordshire I'll be well prepared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot see how she is right, unless we had air conditioning (which we don't. We have a fan and that's it.) Who's right? Whats the temperature outside and what is the temperature inside. Air flows from warmer to colder But as others have said the movement of air will have an efect on cooling. Also the sun will be heating your solid house which will be heating the air inside and with no escape route the temperature will continue to rise above the external temperature. Then there's the greenhouse effect In conclusion: Yer birds mental 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 If you open 1 window on 1 side and one on the other sometimes you get the corridor of wind that blows through. I remember on holiday once our apartment did that, it was lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted June 26, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2020 I'm not going to go through it all I'M NOT. But Satellite TV and Sky TV started in the 80's.

sidcow Posted June 26, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) The mobile phone. Has that affected anything? Obviously not. MTV? very little impact. A cultural vacuum MTV. Microsoft Word/Microsoft Windows? Nada. The Simpsons. I guess a few people think they were mildly interesting. Thriller? The A Team? The Breakfast Club? Ferris? KARPOV vs KASPAROV, Borg v McEnroe? Ayrton Senna 1st World Title. The rise of Hip Hop. Black music from The Ghetto becoming mainstream consumption globally for white middle class kids and developing from there into the various forms currently dominating such as Grime. League 81, Europe 82??????????????? Must stop. Promised myself I wouldn't. Edited June 26, 2020 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
