Just trying to clear things up on H2G2 and thought I'd say that these talking points need willing contributors to write them up and produce Guide worthy entries.

The Subtle Art of Flirting, Pants, Accidents and Disasters, Keeping Fit, Tastebuds. Drugs (cannabis), Vanity and the Knife, Snail Mail versus Email, adoption, The Male Contraceptive Pill: a Good Idea or Not?, Peer Pressure, Public Transport, Exams, Guide Entries that Should Be Written, Write your own Obituary, Aliens and UFOs, Addictions, Mythical Creatures, Child Discipline, Debt, revenge, Book Clubs, affairs, homelessness, Discrimination, Surveillance, Holiday Romances, Comfort Eating, Your Internal Jukebox, The FBI, House Cleaning Tips, Wonders of the World, David Bowie, What it Was Like in the 1990s, Open-Source Software, Oliver Cromwell, Great Cop Shows,Tips on Job Applications and CVs.

Come on peeps lets get together and take up this challenge. I can't do these all on my own I've got Japan and fruit to think about.

I remember contributing to the What It Was Like in the 1990's - Music conversation. Do you think I should have a stab at that? I'd just include all the major genres and movements etc I spose, in the same sort of style as the 70's and 80's Entries.

PS Whew, first post in a while. It's almost as though I have a busy job that I like! Who'd have thunk.

I think you should follow your heart and if the 1990's appeal then create an entry on it. smiley - smiley

Not all of them will be suitable of course - it's a nice idea though for some collective entries.

It's nice to have the choice between taking up the challenge of writing an entry solely by oneself and collective entries.

Thats fantastic don't forget to look at the threads in Previous Talking Points (a link can be found on my page) and they will help you with your entry. If you intend to use any of the information researchers have written in the threads don't forget to state that these researchers helped in the making of your entry.
