@arcon - I submit defeat, you are far more muso-nerdy than I am! Although I own the Rappers Delight vinyl too (not often admitted)...all of these years I can't believe I never noticed that the bassline was from "Chic"! How is this possible?!! I'm ashamed!

Ah well, I'm gonna go and hover in a corner with a big plastic cone on my head...

which was the point I was trying to make. Rappers Delight was a ripoff of Grandmaster Flash and Fast-five Freddy's early rap, most rappers were infuriated by this blatant robbery, it was up to Debbie Harry to give them a means to get their music into the mainstream. Rappers Delight was hailed as the birth of rap and for its originality and creativity by the white music press and the reality was it was a theft by untalented oportunists (who never made any another record of note i believe)

lol. think you are dreaming somewhat Arcon....but saying that I did once go out with a girl who loves nerds. She was an absolute babe, met her through a friend at a party. The first time we spoke she wasn't interested in me because I spent all night trying to avoid talking nerdy...but then she found out my job and insisted I talked to her about it! (I should have twigged at that point that she was a little cuckoo) This was all well and dandy, but I found it a bit weird that when I was in bed with her she'd scream stuff like "tell me your theories on the future of the internet you baaaaad boooooyyyyy...." (!!!???!!!) so I would be like "....errr....eh??!....I've kinda got my mouth full at the moment". lol. Still got a soft spot for the girl, but the last I heard she was dating an astro-physicist from germany....

Nowadays I happily settle for the "no response at all" technique from my girlfriend...eg...

me: evenin...the funniest thing happened to me today....
her: oh really? whats that?
me: well...you see I was at work, and as you know I have a dual screen system..
her: .........
me: then all of a sudden, the screen that is normally my primary output switched to become my secondary....
her: .........
me: ...yeah! how weird was that! but then I restarted and it was all back to normal.
her: ah well thats nice darling
me: errr...yeah...whats for tea?
her: cook it yourself you lazy b*st*rd

aaah...women....can't live without them, can't kill em.

lol. love it...how many times have i had that conversation

@Gromit: when i'm pissed off with a computer problem and its playing on my mind, i HATE it when people ask whats wrong. not that its embarrasing being geeky, just cause of the blank expression they have and how quickly they change the subject, secretly wishing they hadnt asked.

@Taw: i get that, but when i'm sitting down at the dinner table, and i ask for someone to get me something from the fridge, they say no, so you get up to get it yourself and then they ask you to get something while your up. a quick sharp backhand across the face was invented for just this occasion
