proper flashback to my teenage years there lol, used to be played everywhere lol

Lol, really.

How old are you?

 

[The Yorkshireman]

You'd need to be pushing 50.

White Lines came out in 1983 and hit the UK charts in 1984.

 

[R1b3n4]

Lol, really.

How old are you?

35 in a few months mate

So your teenage years were the very late 90's early naughty's.

Nearly 20 years after White Lines came out.

Run-DMC are credible, Aerosmith are not even proper fucking rockers, it's that pansy big hair shit with no balls.

Why would they subject you to the torture of the original Aerosmith track? Cunts! lol

No man, I'm fucking proud of my city.

I quite like the pub/boat thing on the roundabout but other than that its just another Uni city to me lol, they all look/feel the same etc

I don't mean proud as in a place to go, I mean the contribution the city has given to the country's culture over the years.

If we're talking music then Leeds and Manchester without a doubt stand above all others.

 

[The Yorkshireman]

I've not actually been to Leeds in a while now to be honest.

I was supposed to going clothes shopping today but meh, house needs cleaning and the sun is out. lol
