Gazza's tears, Britpop and rave, garbage England cricket team, Trainspotting. 1980s? Big hair, shoulder pads, Dallas, Sunset Strip rock, West Indies, poll tax riots and unemployment. 1970s? Dinosaur rock bands. Golden age of heavyweights. Lillee and Thommo. 60s? Great music, mods, hippies, free festivals, free love. 50s? Teds, Elvis, rock n' roll, last great age of Hollywood. Even 2010s I could make an argument for skinny jeans, weird male hairstyles, elderly presenters you used to watch being exposed as paedophiles and people filming everything with gadgets. But 2000s? It is a mystery.'05 Ashes is the only thing I can think off. Roger Federer v Rafa epics maybe? The 2000's were about reality tv really. Big Brother started around 2002 then it was all the Pop Idol and XFactor shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fan of a lot of technical advances but I really think the record store & concert culture in the 70s far exceeds what we have now. I'd gladly giving portable digital music to get all that culture back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One player puts some colored pegs behind the little blind. The other player guesses what colors are where. The first player puts a little white or black peg in the side holes to tell them how many were right. Thru logic and elimination you eventually figure out the color code. Whoever does it in less turns wins. I think that was the gist of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
