WOW...what an MTV flashback I've just had!? Does anyone remember hearing the story about that old black & white boat crashing clip in this video? I recall that some guy was trying to break the speed record on Loch Ness and a "disturbance" in the water created by YOU KNOW WHO basically caused the crash. ????

awesome song, but i wish russell mulcahy had done the video so it means something. vintage 80s lighting in the video, though; thats a bonus.

I'm from Leeds, born in 68 and i remember what your talking about. No need to worry though when your under your kitchen table covered with a mattress!!

Where I live they tested the air-raid sirens the first Monday in every month! They don't any more, as far as I know. Maybe once or twice a year, just to see that they are still up there. A nuclear conflict would have happened exactly the way it did in "Threads".

You tended to get a bit paranoid about things MowgliX. I remember waking up one morning in about 1984/5 with air-raid sirens going off around West Yorkshire - this was very scary stuff in those days and you wondered just what was happening. This continued all morning, was not reported on the local TV news and there was never an explanation. Very strange - does anyone else from the area remember this incident?

I'm the same age as you, and I agree with most of what you said. Horrible AOR, insipid metal and stupid hip hop. UGH! It was all shit.

I've seen "Threads". Absolutely horrific. And it could have happened at any moment. I lived though the 1980s. Three minute warning, if you remember?
