Follows with Ricky Martin's 'Maria' and sings along (even though a lot

Don't be silly. In 1999 we were all using text-mode usenet clients,
and Gmail wasn't even a glint in Google's eye...
Oh, not that sort of window...

I was bout to say I'm still using the *same* usenet client, but it turns
out I apparently updated the version number of the software a few years
later.
Still looks and acts the same, and is still configured with monospace
fonts.
My earliest Usenet forays were with, yes, an actual text-mode client back
in, what, the late 80s sometime? Fortunately, I've forgotten what handle I
used as a teenager, so I don't have to be subjected to the harsh light of
day on textual fumblings from twenty years back.

Welcome to the party! :-) The weirdly interesting flavours of
chocolate are over there *points*, the large cheeseboard is over that
way, and if you should wish to avoi- er, I mean, partake of salty
licquorice, it's on that table marked 'Taster Beware!' *g*

When I were a young one, quite a few Kneipen still had a (real) cask on
the bar, at closing time (no, not that one) the door would be closed and
the cask emptied by the patrons, so that the next drinking day could
restart with a fresh cask.
Those were the days, a beer at 20 Pfennig.

And the virtual party is wonderful. And the timing could not better.
Thank you all for putting the icing on my virtual birthday cake - And
talking of cakes...

OK, all my 1999 ones seemed to be really boring ones pointing people at
various FAQs and suchlike things... so here's one from 1997 instead :-)

Some classic R&B would be good. Or indeed recent R&B. Or a spot of
funk...
(I've just been going through an old videotape from 1989/90 and found
I had the video of a song called 'Jerk Out' by a band called The
Time. I'm not expecting many people here to recognise the name, but
they were the band that Prince used to belong to, many years before
that.)

I remember that, it was great fun :-) I joined in with every part

This year's Hedgehog Party was the best ever. I remember how my feet

Actually, the stuff in cans *without* the widgets is quite drinkable

I'm still smugging about a casual remark being immortalised in a sig. "Look,
look" I say to my daughters. "See that OhGoddess? That's me, that is. I gave
her that!"
And they are duly impressed, and go away, and tidy not their bedrooms.

He must be ill then. John Smith's isn't good in any form though I quite like
his cousin Sam Smith's OBB.
I'm now remembering the beer I have to brew this year as it's ten years
since the demise of Enfield football stadium (intensely black, acridly
bitter, robust porter called Southbury Road Black Armband).

I don't think that's actually true. It was 'Morris Day and the
Time', and as I remember it they were another one of Prince's
hobby projects and outlets for excess creativity.
It's just that The Time had a bit more to offer on their own
account then, say, Vanity 6, what with having Jimmy Jam and Terry
Lewis in the ranks and all that. (But probably not *that* much
more to offer. Being a Prince pet project tends to mean that he
writes, produces and performs all your material. :-)) So Prince
may have *been* the Time for all practical purposes, but I don't
think he was actually *in* the Time at any point, if you see what
I mean. Hmm. Wikipedia seems to confirm this.

You need to hear my version of Maggie McGill then. Which is basically
some old geezer singing the blues and definitely boogieable.
What you really mean is you don't need to boogie on down to enjoy
listening to some old geezer singing the blues.

:-) As I was typing it, I thought "...except for Leo, possibly...",
as I seem to remember you as being one of the few afpers/#afpers who
likes soul/funk/soulful R&B. But I wasn't sure whether you were
reading this thread.

I remember Morris Day too, he was a decent funkster in his own right
for a while. *remembers 'Fishnet' and a few other things*
> It's just that The Time had a bit more to offer on their own

And (if I remember correctly) a chap called Jerome Johnson who was a
reasonably well-known soul/funk producer back in the eighties. I do
seem to remember Alexander O'Neal having something to do the The Time
for a while too, but not for long.
> (But probably not *that* much

I do remember a number of people who got picked up by Prince back in
those days and promptly stopped having any sort of success the moment
he dropped them (Sheila E, Appollonia, Wendy and Lisa among others)
CCA (who finally found a CD of BB&Q's Genie last year. Not that they
had anything to do with Prince AFAIK... :-)
