Yes, the point was that people may not have time to read pamphlets. The balanced views written on pamphlets may’ve been ditched due to a busy schedule with commuters listening to talk-radio hosts -this just from Remainer friends in the UK & the husband’s family who don’t have time for reading (they’re working 2 or 3 jobs due to…[Read more]

Trade deals ?  The EU is afraid that equalization  will diminish its power in other trade alliances.  They

want ‘harmonization’  aka a level playing field. The UK wants equalization.  The rest of the world is moving

towards the equivalency system.  Yes the trade deals will take some time but these  3 years that Pa…[Read more]

They’re not racist, but… they’re uncomfortable.

Absolutely agree. I think one of the pressure points for leaving was that ‘uncomfortable’ feeling – as I said above, one-third of the Leave vote agreed that ‘control over immigration’ was the reason they voted Leave. But I also think that there’s been far too much of confusing a ‘pres…[Read more]

@thane16, @whisht, et al,

For your consideration:

The CD is regularly played in the Blenkinsop pile.

Thank you @missy,@thane16, @whisht, @pedant, @blenkinsopthebrave, @miapatrick. And to Missy, yes, one compartmentalises as best one can and does what one must and you have my deepest sympathy. One clings on to good things, and this place is a Good Thing and I will come here whenever I can even if I can’t muster bonkers theories about Who, because…[Read more]

@pedant

Awful. I was listening to her literally 3 days ago on Sunday night. Checking out my CDs & bits & bobs.

triffic voice.  It Must Have Been Love also rocketed them up with Christmas For The Broken Hearted.

@whisht  Ah! Yes, this one I know -not the song, though so thanks for that. I heard Kramer was jailed for dealing but ended up p…[Read more]

I DO hope you realise I was joking?   Regarding “Syd.”

Also, *PM = Prime Minister. Personally I refer to it as Little Dick. Childish I know. Still.

@whisht I had a whole post & it was eaten. By your PM, probably.

But Syd? What did I ever do to you, huh? huh?

I’m gonna give you one back. The longest Bon Jovi song I can find! Huh! That’ll do you!

Tories and right-wing Press going with increasingly ‘populist’ messages (ie bigoted/ racist/ lock-’em-up/ scary Marxist Armageddon). But even a PM…

Lovely.

OK, so not lying specifically.

But it’s between the lyrics.

@Winston @pedant and anyone with approaching or passing winter colds.

For anyone feeling under the weather with partners very unwell including Mr @missy.

I had a tear for Miller & James (sounds like a sketch act which both may’ve loved).

@whisht good to see you back on the music boards! Don’t leave them -you make these boards hum & tingle -all…[Read more]

@whisht

welcome back. The Pippettes!  Or is it ‘Pipettes?’

I love the ice cream chord structure: Chord 1, chord vi, iv, v and repeat….

Bowie’s blonde hair & Spray Tan Era was a tad …odd. But yes, his impeccable timing, no over-doing it on the stage gave hints of the performer he would eventually become, I think. A more approachable stage…[Read more]

Well, fucking hell people from @missy to @Bluesqueakpip to @pedant and @gamergirlavatar @nerys @toinfinityandbepond @whisht (well, HELLOO you!) you’ve all expressed feelings on sexism, political correctness and  cooking. I missed the whole darn conversation! Exciting stuff. And a bit sad, to be honest. That there exist people who think that “PC…[Read more]

@whisht

May I politely say, that my opinions are not just my own. Also, they are not offensive – that’s your opinion.

What I find offensive, is being referred to as a ‘guy’ whenever my OH and I go into a shop or restaurant.

Usually beginning with “Hi guys!” be assured that I have mentioned it – very politely.

This whole gender thing  is,  I s…[Read more]

I loved the Banshees! I thought Bootsy was born in Wisconsin? I remember that a boyfriend used to always tell me silly stories about who the head of different bands were -I had zilch knowledge at 16 of The Who, ACDA, Midnight Oil, & hundreds of other headlining acts like Led Zeppelin…

For the…[Read more]

@whisht

I’m not sure I agree. Firstly, ‘Missy’ is a very particular choice of Nom de Guerre, especially given the nature of the character when our Missy joined our forum.

Secondly, how do we teach children and young people to defend themselves against the genuinely offensive if we allow them to protect themselves against ever hearing contrarian…[Read more]

Hi!

Thank you very much, you can listen “Sea e.p” and “Wind e.p” here:

And, of course, long life to Doctor Who!

Have a nice day 😉

@whisht

You still up mate?

🙂 That was awesome. The comments on youtube were actually incredibly funny too.

I have an “ishoo” with boogie the woogie. But it’s FUN (& & I shouldn’t dislike it…. I don’t really).

It’s erm……repetitive. And his fingers are damned flat on the board. If he’d curl them he’ll have many years of playing to g…[Read more]

@whisht that  very sweet, He showed true feeling & a sensitivity. Lovely

@Winston I know feeling better is not probably where you’re at -yet but reach  out if you want to talk some more.  @pedant a terrific song. I heard The Cure a lot later than I should’ve . My colleagues ‘intervened’ & I’m glad they persisted. It’s been a bit of a silly we…[Read more]

@whisht @mudlark @janetteb @thane16  Thank you for all of your kind words although they have brought me tears they are gentle tears. My mother in law never said an unkind word to me in all the years I knew her. She loved her family and we all loved her ,as simple as that. We got her home from hospital to her own room that looked out on her…[Read more]

Thank you SO much for your gardening assistance. Mayall* I call you Yoda? Or Goda? For God of Gardening -except the ‘d’ isn’t right for ‘garden’ but Goga doesn’t scan well.

I have a question: How do the worms arrive by themselves? I am, as you see, neither Goda, nor Goga but possibly Daga (Dumb at Gardening).  Also, Daga sounds like a…[Read more]
