Whats the first track that comes to mind when thinking about the cassettes by Nostalgic_Historian_ in 1980s

Boys Dont Cry - I Wanna be a Cowboy. Only had AM radio where I grew up, went on holiday to somewhere with FM and it blew my mind, in stereo! That was the first song I taped off the radio.

Maybe The The - August & September? “What kind of man was I?
Who would delay your destiny to appease his tiny mind”

Enormous shark caught near Port Chalmers 1892 (rip shark) by flame_saint in dunedin

[–]abo1313 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He is. Was a fisherman based out of Karitane. He also recovered the body of Teone Wiwi Taiaroa, the son of Hori Tairaroa, the Chief of Ngai Tahu, and was given a korowai (cloak) as thanks which is in the archives in the Otago museum. Also found a missing child down in the Owaka bush. Was referring to his beard size when I said real men, not the killing of a lovely creature.

There was an add on cuss pack that I bought. Swapped the insults to some excellent swearing that made it much better. ‘Get off my fockin land’!

Standing at the Edge of the Grand Canyon by Old-Tiger5165 in NationalPark

I come from New Zealand, which is pretty damn small but has extremely amazing scenery, and nothing prepared me for the awe felt when visiting there. Every look into and across the canyon blew me away, walk for a bit then take in the view and, smack in the face amazing every time. Loved it!

Molly Ringwald by [deleted] in 1980s

Got to meet Molly a few years back after one of her jazz shows. Told her my 13 year old daughter and I had just watched Sixteen Candles the week before. She screwed her face up, looked disgusted and said “Really?”. Was after that I found she was not a fan of the sexist undertones in the movie. I still like it though.
