Re: Wimbeldon prize money

You can win way more than that by simply buying a lottery ticket. Massive prizes, & no dedication or talent required whatsoever.

Re: Glastonbury - The Rolling Stones.

I didn't see rolling Stones (they're not my thing really) but I saw Chic on Friday night & they were stunning - note perfect! Nile Rodgers must be in his 60s I'd guess, diagnosed with cancer a few years ago and still the coolest bloke on the planet (& currently number 1 in the charts, with h...

Re: anyone for tennis

I'm not interested in sport generally but I quite enjoy a bit of Wimbledon. Perhaps it seems tame this year as it's not the Olympics.

Enjoyed seeing Tara Moore play yesterday, although she got resoundingly beaten. I'd love a wildcard brit to kick some seeded butt out of the contest!

Re: The Eurovision Thread ....

I thought the presenter, Petra something-or-other, pretty much stole the show with her bit in the interval. And she was rather luvly +f+

Re: Old Radio memories

My next-door neigbour used to record Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy for us kids on his reel-to-reel tape recorder. Thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard.

Re: Any Glen Campbell fans ?

Was Galveston another Jimmy Webb song? Sadly that one's missing off my Glen's greatest hits LP!

Agree with you he's got a wonderfully rich warm voice. Like an aural hug!

Re: Any Glen Campbell fans ?

Well, sort of - I've ALWAYS loved Wichita Lineman and By The Time I Get to Phoenix. If I was brave or drunk enough to do karaoke those are the songs I might pick (I also do a mean Ghost Riders in the Sky, in the style of Vaughn Monroe). I saw that great documentary a while back & was totally imp...

Re: Stephanie Flanders

Wow, that's fascinating.

I noticed the other day that the sometimes austere-looking Stephanie Flanders has got a most cracking pair of legs. She's got my attention now.

Re: OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST

Another Bowie fan here, although he's made me cringe at every new release from Tin Machine onwards.

Fave track for me would be Ashes to Ashes, and albums maybe Low & Heroes. Love those gloomy instrumental side 2's!

Re: 2 Barnabys?

Old Barnaby's wife used to get on my nerves. One week she's in a choir and they're dropping like flies. Next week she's at a fete & there's casualties everywhere. Then she's hanging round churches flower arranging, doing am-dram, cactus shaving & a zillion other "nice" hobbies wher...

Re: Turbine

That sounds like an exciting prospect, but I wonder about safety. Do I understand you correctly that they can be plugged in to any 13a socket? And it's available in UK?

Re: Eurovision Song Contest

I love it, the more awful and ridiculous the better. Certainly don't want UK to win it mind.

And anyway, in comparison with the Brits the other day, Eurovision has nothing to be ashamed of.

Re: Justin Amoeba - what is the attraction??

Huh, kids today eh?

By the way I wouldn't pay £70 a ticket to see ANYONE - and I'm a music fan. I had a lovely evening with Alison Krauss & Union Station a few months back for £30 :-D
