Its like Candy - how to do the Candy Dance / Electric Slide UK Style.

I love this Dance (Candy Dance), comes up at weddings, end of year Christmas parties and others. Its such a cool line dance! (In the US they call it Electric Slide or maybe its originally known as the electric slide - but there is a slight variation in moves from the US and UK).

So anyway I decided to find some of my favourite videos for learning the moves for the Candy (by Cameo) Dance/Electric Slide, just watch it and you'll see how impressive it is to see everyone doing the same moves and having a great time.

Dance Steps
I got this from Yahoo answers (gotta love them!):

One step with Right foot Lean back
Hop 'n' kick sideways with right

(Repeat for all 4 corners North, south, east, west)

Some Decent Laptops off the top of my head

Peter: "I read a book about that once"
Brian: "Are you sure it was a book? Are you sure it wasn't 'nothing'?
Peter:"Oh yeah."

A friend was asking for some advice regarding a laptop she's a student and just needs something practical within the £300 - £450 price range. I had a quick look around and everything seems pretty standard for that amount of ca$h.


Bare in mind, I'm from the Amstrad CPC 464 8-bit generation, so seeing processors with 64-bit extensions, 1TB hard drives, and Gigs of Ram always puts a smile on my face. A lot of people new to PC's (through no fault of their own!) just won't be able to appreciate just how far we have come in terms of hardware/software. So really what I'm saying is times are good, so long as you don't buy a celeron processor laptop (unless you really must!) anything you get will be decent above the £350 range....and remember warranty can be your best friend, what with RMA headaches.

Anyhow here are the one's I showed her (I'm NOT affiliated with any of the companies below, just so you know :O), but I have used them including Samsung (but I can't be bothered to list Samsung, even though they make some slick machines) :
