    I’ve won over $2k USD today. I was annoyingly taxed $572 on a jackpot of $1906 but then immediately won $600 so the IRS can suck it. But that’s not the exciting part of today… LOOK WHAT IS GOING ON AT EXCALIBUR!! I am absolutely going to get a ticket for this.

        I never had a favourite.

        Confession:
        Everyone loves them, but I didn’t like the Spice Girls at the time. It’s not a sexist thing, I hated all those boy bands as well. I hated the machine of pumping out acts of attractive people with average singing talent that was all the rage at the time.

        Those groups gave us Beyonce Knowles, Robbie Williams and Justin Timberlake. So they clearly weren’t all average talent-wise.

        I missed the legacy the Spice Girls were leaving, inspiring a generation of little girls. So I like them looking back.

          It’s really not of a tongue in cheek for me. Back then they exploded onto the mainstream, which I was never really into but still thought was kind of a curiosity.

          The music is a one night stand not a “desert island band”
