$faf Reply To Dave Diamond's Reply To My Article (wow that's confusing!) $faf Hey Dave, ok then let's get down to it. $faaOASIS Yeah, commercial chart fodder fed by marketing dudes and told to act that way. At one stage I actually liked Wonderwall, but that was before the invention of the sound I'm truly at home with, the sound of the London underground, Speed Garage, and lovely house music of course. Only into dance music these days which is why Blur don't appeal to me either. The reason Oasis are so ugly is partly due to the drug abuse factor, their eyes are always swelling out of their heads, because their stoned 24 hours a day. $f9fDIGITISER They seem to have layed off the Amiga lately, maybe they got the message. Digitiser is purely a games magazine though, the Amiga is moving very swiftly away from the image of a games machine, so it wouldn't appeal to Digitiser anyway. You think they get paid for advertising games in an appatising light?... I doubt it myself, their too small and inferior for any software companies to bother with them really. $ff7CLASSICAL MUSIC Well, like I said before I'm purely into dance these days, but I've always found classical music to be collosally boring. Best to listen to when you're in love huh? Well last time I was in lurrve (last Autumn), sadly came to a crashing end :( Dance is there even then, the clasic "Tears" by Frankie Knuckles will bring a tear to even the world's hardest bastards if they're in luurrve. $affPLAYSTATIONS Sorry if I offended any playstation owners, just that they don't appeal to me. My brother owns a PSX and I've played some of the games and have found them to be nothing short of dire. Maybe it's the fact that I've just got totally bored of computer games, I've been playing them for about 11 years and maybe I've just out-grown them. But the other night I booted up Monkey Island and had a great time playing that for an hour, and I must have spent a small fortune on the PacLand and Alex Kidd arcade machines when I was in Spain last summer, what can I say? "They don't make 'em like they used to". $ff4PEOPLE GOING OUT WITH YOUNGSTERS I agree that it's distasteful for a 50 year old man OR WOMAN to go out with a 15 year old. I know a 16 year old boy who's having a relationship with a woman of 40-something, just beats me really what they could have in common... about as much as I have with my parents I'm guessing, so not a lot really. The case of Anna N Smith and her 90 year old "boy"friend was easily a publicity stunt, she got a wad of cash and he got an ego boost. I wouldn't go out with a 15 year old and no I don't think it's extreme, 16 yeah fine, as long as she's left school, wouldn't go out with a school kid, no way, doesn't appeal to me at all. Besides the fact that I've always preffered slightly older women. Well if you think it's okay for a 23 year old to go out with a school kid, fine, I'm younger than 23 but still wouldn't. $fffCASSETTES Tapes are cheap, they have that in their favour, they're easy to copy. But Minidisc is THE ultimate platform, I've got 2 MD recorders, easy track access, and despite what people may think about their quality due to the compression system, I can tell you, it's top notch. It only takes away sounds you can't hear anyway, and in any case kicks cassettes ass right out. I've got 5 CD players in the room I'm currently in and two £500+ cassette players with all the Noise Reduction and Metal facilities, and you can still tell there's a difference between CD and Cass. A really good audio platform and very underatted is VHS tape! Better quality than Reel To Reel! You'd be hard pushed to tell the difference between a decent VHS audio recording and a CD. It's easily up to broadcast quality, we use them at the radio station I work for all the time. $fbaON THE PULL Hehe, oops Dave, didn't mean to offend. Well if sex is the top of your agenda, FINE, just I personally don't see what the hype is about. If you think about sex literally (not for too long Dave! :) I mean what the hell are you doing that's so cool? A few tingling nerves here and there and a bit of friction.... rather have a cup of coffee and a video... last longer as well! I'd disagree that for good looking guys a one night stand is "another one in the books to boast about", I wouldn't class myself as a moose, but from now on it's "sex when you're in love" for me, much better than throwing it about, then it doesn't mean anything any more, it de-values it until it's "just another thing you do on a night out". $9ffPEOPLE'S DRESS SENSE Yeah 40 stone bloaters don't look to nice in the lycra cycling shorts and the tight shirts. But I didn't say they couldn't, I just don't think it look very nice, but if they want to wear it, then hey! Far be it from me to put them down, live and let live. It is a topic I'm saying as a *slim* person (not thin, meaning underweight) yes, and bloke...nah, makes you sound like a flatcapped old git who spends his time in the pub all day. Call me a boy or a man, not a bloke (prefer boy, makes me sound vibrant and young, yeah right). Yes, every one is invited to comment on these, c'mon! Looks like KEI resisted the temptation to comment on your Article Davey. end.
