miked10270 0 #51 September 11, 2003 Whoops!!! Sorry BeckyBoo... I forgot about all those " '80's Radio Stations "! Of course I heard Sting's shows at gosforth Rugby Club and The Cooperage on a '70's err... Website. Yes. Website. This means that I'm not in fact 43... I'm err... 21 years and "some" months. Just err... experienced and webwise... with a well defined sense of popular music history. Or we could just be honest. Let's talk about black & yellow hooped sweaters, "Lindisfarne", Christmas Concerts at City Hall in Newcastle, "The Gas Board", ROXYmusic, Mark Knopfler at "The Coperage" tryng to sell tapes of him playing his guitar. ? Dire straits / dire straits going on sale at Windows in The Central Arcade..... Anyone with me? Or am I already a dinosaur? Mike.

miked10270 0 #52 September 11, 2003 RIGHT!!!! Gotty Gotta put an album together sharpish... So... gotta plagiarise songs. First off - we've gotta sort out the politics of the band. Then we can sort out the songs. Personally, I think covers of "Let's drop the Big one" By Alan Price & Randy Newman, & "Good Riddance" by Nimrod would suffice for a quick single. a quick re-write of "99 Luftballons" by Nena updated from Reagan to GWB would maybe fly... (I',m pretty sure that Nena Kerner is still going & her politics hasn't changed so a duet is on the cards). Hey... We've already got 5 tracks of our debut CD with Dixie & Texas Rose (forgive the inbreeding references but they're vital to getting it banned in Texas). Small point... Can any of you actually play / sing? OK... I've seen "Pop Idol". This isn't neccessarily an obstacle!Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Rebecca 0 #53 September 11, 2003 Well Thanatos, thanks for your help- that info is definitely what I would need... ... if I were still going to Costa Rica. Just found out that the 'bonus' miles Continental gave me, which would have enabled me to go, were just a glitch. And of course, they've fixed it. Here I thought it was some kind of serendipidous karmic kick-back for offering to give up the majority of my miles so my bf could go. We were so excited. I feel like an idiot. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos340 1 #54 September 11, 2003 Actually it may have been a blessing in disguise.. 3 days is nowhere near enough time for that trip. It will be better go at a later date when you can spend at least 5 days there. You would have spent most of your trip traveling and really only had one day on the beach and not really got to see the real beauty of Costa Rica.

Rebecca 0 #55 September 11, 2003 OK, screw Continental- I wanna go, dammit! I just got off the phone with American, and I have enough miles to go with them. They don't have convenient direct flights, but I can deal with lay-overs. I think I'll be able to get in a full three days, traveling on Thursday and Monday... that should be enough, no? Other questions for you: Tourist cards- the Consulate General's office said you buy it when you get off the plane in San Jose. That's weird. Is that how it works? Is it easy enough to get around without speaking Spanish? Or are we screwed? I can get by with my basic command of the language, but I doubt my bf can... Any recommendations for a hotel in Jaco? Thanks dude!! You so rock for helping me out with this- I really appreciate it. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?
