    I remember 'discos' back then where you could latch on to a young wan that showed any sign of interest and suck her face for half the night, a week later she would be declaring her undying love. You can't latch onto random young wans in 'discos' anymore, in fact it is rare to see any lovin going on in 'discos' nowdays.

    YOU can't, you mean?

    Discos in the 90's!!!!!! Sorry man, music had moved on from that, it was Raves in the 90's & Disco in the 70's,

    Ooooh ye

    It was the generic name for nightclubs back in the 90s.. Most people didn't say "are you off to the rave tonight".

    Sorry chief, dont know how old you are but i never heard anyone say,

    'are you off out to the disco tonight'

    Back in the 90's.......as you said if it wasnt the rave it was nightclubs, your parents would have been calling wherever you went to 'Discos'

    I also made deadly mix tapes from that station

    Really??? From what I remember Atlantic 252 only played the same 8 songs over and over again!!!

    And they spent so much talking about how they didn't talk as much as any other station :rolleyes:

    Comodore 64s. yes i know they came out in the 80s but I only got one in 1991.

    3.50 for a game which probably wouldnt work after loading for 10 minutes. no save function so if you wanted to complete it you had to do it in one go. I think i only ever complete the TMNT game and Midnight resistance (using the cheat)

    Joysticks that would break after a month.

    god they were crap, but they had charm
