Hello everyone. I guess I should start with a confession - that I haven't watched SpongeBob for over a year now. And to be honest, I don't think it's funny anymore... in fact watching season 1-3, I don't find it funny anymore! I didn't think that would ever happen. It appears my tastes have changed. So I doubt I'll be discussing it here. And since most members on here have left or are from America and have completely different culture interests than me... I probably won't visit as often. In fact I haven't been really for a while.
So anyway I recently started watching Countdown, this long running UK gameshow about numbers and letters, while I was off for a while and it got me reminiscing about Richard Whitely, the original host who sadly died in 2005 of a heart complication. Countdown hasn't been the same since and I doubt it will be. But I hope the new host Nick Hewer will get Countdown back up a bit. I hope so anyway. I miss Richard Whitely's wit and humour.
Also I started relistening to my first favourite band ever - LIghthouse Family! They truly did make one of the best albums ever with 'Ocean Drive'. If you've never listened to it, do it now! It's got to be of the most underhyped greatest albums ever. Their later albums 'Postcards from Heaven' and, wait for it, 'Whatever Gets You Through The Day' aren't as good in my opinion, which is unfortunate.
I've nearly finished my one-episode-a-weekday run of How I Met Your Mother thanks to a TV channel that has been airing it from the beginning. I've loved watching it - it's like getting a new episode of your favourite TV show every day. No waiting a week or a few months. I've also been watching it at the same time as the new season 6/7 episodes - so that's been pretty cool.
So that's where I'm up to.
