My eldest told me what he wants for his birthday.... his 17th birthday

I'm not allowed to read Seriously, dd grabs anything like that from me and flings it in the kitchen bin! Not even a catalogue or leaflet or anything!

If it's hip hop you want: spot the Beastie Boys cameo in that vid ^^ Talking of whom...

Oh yes, it's a great one for blasting in the car, the whole album is a complete mosh-fest! I haven't heard of them before, that's pretty good, thanks for that

wow that sounds cool! I bet he has a fascinating story to tell! Enjoy!

Was it Absolute Beginners? I remember Bowie doing the them tune for that one. My favouritest band in the world ever, featuring one of the greatest drummers ever: Queens of the Stone Age

Apart from Kylie I don't know a great deal of Aussie music I don't think, well, apart from..... Men At Work! and one that's a bit more cool: INXS

DD isn't back to school till Tuesday so a few more days before normality returns. She got very hyper and last weekend went into complete meltdown, crying, whinging, screaming, lashing out etc. She's been quite a lot calmer since she went on the prozac so it was quite a shock. Unfortunately I didn't cope too well with it all and we ended up screaming at each other She was just winding herself up more and more in the end though, she'd calm down a bit then go on a computer game which didn't work properly and kept crashing, so she'd get even worse. I'd try to help and because it didn't work fast enough/couldn't be fixed she went crazy with me. It's so difficult because I can't talk to her, she simply doesn't understand Fortunately I was able to get some respite for her and we both had some much needed time out. I threw the game which didn't work in the bin while she was gone, it was one that has never been updated from windows 95/98 so it was a right faff about to work, had to reset the screen resolution and all sorts for it But anyway, things are much calmer now at least, she's full of cold so we've had a couple of snuggle on the sofa days so we're friends again Roll on Tuesday!

Their live shows are amazing! I wasn't a huge fan before seeing them, liked a few songs but not madly keen, after the show I wanted every CD!

birthday
