Do you remember the first concert you ever attended?

John Roberts @JohnRoberts (109846) • Los Angeles, California 2 Jul 18

This should be a far easier memory task than recalling that first moviegoing experience. We were likely all teens and who can forget that first time in a crowd at a live performance. No, it was not Linda Ronstadt for me. She was...

How do you use this thing?

Alexa Lopez @lookingforalexa (1) 30 Jun 18

I’ll admit, I came on to this site after I heard that you can earn some cash just by talking and liking people’s comments. It seemed easy, and you can even make some friends on the way, and who can say no to new friends? But now...

Craig Archer I think that you can make some money here, but forget about it being quick and easy. The point of this site is not to make money, that's a bonus. I originally came here with that intention, but have stuck around for the conversation and general positivity...

Craig Archer People often see "I make money online" as quick, easy money and it is not. In order to do anything worthwhile, you need to basically do everything full time - like a job. How easy is it in the Philippines? Over here in SA it's quite difficult...

Craig Archer Of course you will support Cricket, it's a religion on that side of the world :) I am a massive cricket fan myself. Which IPL team do you support? Even though my team is not playing in any of those, I will be following both. Who says that you can't watch both

Casting the wrong nationalities in plays

S.E @SerenityEngel (525) • United Kingdom 29 Sep 17

Yesterday I went to see The Weir an Irish play set in an Irish pub. Not all the cast were Irish, but they were trying. It's a pet hate of mine to see a play where people are pretending to be Irish, America, etc, when they...

Craig Archer Tell me about it - South African accents are very difficult to pull off. I found it quite funny that in the movie "Stander" with Thomas Jane, the South African actress (Tess Jubber) had a better American accent than Thomas Jane had a South African one :)

I'm thinking of quitting this band. Do you think I should?

The Horse @TheHorse (220758) • Walnut Creek, California 10 Jun 18

Do you think I should quit this band? The leader is a "diva." She is a decent singer, but she loves the spotlight, and doesn't fully appreciate the musicians she's surrounded herself with. She has knocked over my $4000 Collings...

Do you keep extra batteries around?

The Horse @TheHorse (220758) • Walnut Creek, California 6 Jun 18

During a recent gig, I discovered that my Larrivee D-03E's battery was dead. My Larrivee D-03E is my back-up gigging guitar (a nice $600 acoustic/electric guitar), and I had decided to use it after my band mate had knocked over my...

DO YOU STILL TRUST THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA?

Heinrich Daniels @notewise777 (247) • Cape Town, South Africa 7 Jun 18

The President of the United States of America has since the day he announced his presidency, waged a war with the Media referring to it as FAKE NEWS. Here in South Africa, our former president (Jacob Zuma) used to refer to the...

Craig Archer I always used to enjoy the stories on MyBroadband, because they always tried to give two sides of the story - although it always seemed very anti-ANC, I saw a story about the DA not doing their parts properly. Was nice to see two sides (not just one)

Craig Archer I've found that a lot of the more recent artists are not very good - maybe they have a good stage presence, but a lot of them can't sing. Take Miley Cyrus for example - when she sang Blurred Lines with Robin Thicke live at the MTV Music Awards, he sang circles...

WHAT ARE YOU GRATEFUL FOR IN 2018?

Heinrich Daniels @notewise777 (247) • Cape Town, South Africa 6 Jun 18
