I remember the G1 and the cartoons when I was a teenager. I had a friend with a little sister and she was totally obsessed with the G1 when it was the big thing in the -80s. Of course, we then also had the opportunity to watch VHS tapes with the ponies.

I actually enjoyed the stories, it wasn't as bad as a guy of that age would think. It was cute somehow.

The years passed, and quite a while later I saw DVD movies in the grocery store with ponies. So couldn't resist buying one of every episode I found in the pile. It was "My Little Pony Tales" and I remember it being completely different from the previous G1 movies I had seen.

But it was so cute, it was in my own language so my little daughter loved it. And we probably watched those movies 1000's of times over and over again.

Oh cool thread!

I'm from Sweden, but I'm quite happy that Sweden didn't have a chance. Of course the song was good, but now it was another country that was going to have the event, right?

What can I say about Switzerland? The flag is a plus anyway. The message of the song was good, but I don't know if it was that playable on the radio charts?
But they really deserved the win. Hope it will be a fun good event next year from them.

In last years Eurovision I thought Australia was great. Never heard of the progressive rock band Voyager before. Don't understand at all how they managed to get into Eurovision, partly because it's Australia and partly because their music was way above average for this type of music competition. Glad I found them anyway. The craziest thing of all was that they had a Toyota MR2 on stage. A bit car crazy as I am, I just had to put one in my garage too *lol* yes, music is an unfathomable source of inspiration, in every way.

After years of streaming and online music, I'm actually a bit tired of it. Started looking for CDs and physical media again. Mostly because it reminds of times gone by. Holding something in your hand that actually exists and can be touched is underestimated today.

The fact that several of our older cars still have CD players is also a reason that made it interesting. Unfortunately, it's gone in the last few leased cars.

There's something special about old-school stuff and the older you get, the more you appreciate it, it seems.

Just take the MiniDisc, who remembers it now? Yes I do. Before the MP3 player made its entrance, that was what mattered. And it's still nice today. Took my old collection down from the attic and the old deck, everything still worked, amazing. So much nostalgia. Oh, oh, what memories you get. Still cool today.

At work, waiting and waiting for us to start the final tests of the safety systems at the power plant I work at.

We have been down for more than a month for refuling and maintenance that needs to be done annually.

A lot has to go through at a nuclear power plant before we start up for a year of operation again. This will take about 72h for 6 persons to do in shifts.

Oh yeah forgot, control systems are my focus here.

Is there anypony that is on MLP forum here too?

I know it's a completely different type of pony forum, but who knows?

Have spent a lot of time there talking pony, so would be nice if somepony found their way to this place too.

Thanks so much everypony, and happy new year too!

  Shoveled snow, we got 50cm (19") of wet snow, blah. Took half the day around the farm with tractor and shovel, our cars were stuck too, trees had fallen over the small roads here in the area.. But now it's CHRISTMAS or actually Hearts warming in the G4 world.
