It was - late 80s early - mid 90s.

Look at the covers of Definitely Maybe and Parklife -'oasis' and 'blur'.

So far this year, I have eaten NO mince pies.

Was it actually a trend though or is it just something people sometimes do?

It's actually an excellent album, different to her usual pop stuff. And yes it is a banger!

The SS is very important to you?


I have learned the error of my ways and am working to reduce the S' from my name. Soon, I plan to rename to 'prouty'. If the capital S isn't important, why not drop it completely?! :datass:
