All Activity

Off the field Forest are starting to get embroiled in a row about VAR, the standard of refereeing and the allegiances of the officials assigned to games. Mr Marinakis has recently employed ex Premier referee Mark Clattenburg to help “understand” refereeing decisions that have gone against the Reds. A strange appointment to say the least and one that could easily blow up in their faces. I think Forest's owner should employ a psychologist. Remember their appeal against their 4 point deduction under FFP rules is due to be announced this week. I can't believe all this high profile bell

The politics thread puts me off. Maybe others as well?

There's been a lack of activity around here for a few days, and to underline the point, yesterday the biggest contribution came from a spammer who made 24 posts in one session.

Arnold to Adelaide! Thanks to t'internet, plenty of good music to listen to both old and new and from musicians/vocalists all over the world. Most use digital audio software now which is so advanced that professional recording quality can be achieved from even a small home studio although computer as well as musical knowledge is now a requisite. Here's an example from a very talented covers band/group in Adelaide performing a 70's song co-written by Graham Russell of Arnold. Look out for Charlie Drake on guitar!!

I agree with you @Oztalgianabout the new weird ‘sporting’ additions to the Olympic Games and have very little interest in the Games this year. As a family we’ve always loved watching the track events, cycling and swimming but our interest has waned somewhat over recent years. I had a wonderful day at the London Olympics with my son and daughter-in-law and when our boys were young we took then to the Edinburgh Commonwealth Games in 1986 and Victoria BC in 1994. Both trips were brilliant and a lot of fun, particularly the Victoria trip when we were staying with family and had tickets f

It is just short of 100 days until the start of "The Limp Dick Games" The free to air TV channel that is telecasting the games is bombarding us with jingoistic adverts. Obviously all about Australian participants. When it is on we only see events where the Australians participate and never see any of the non main stream but nevertheless interesting sports. FFS Break dancing is not a sport neither is "sport" climbing or 3x3 Basketball, what in the heck is artistic swimming? Where are they going to surf in Paris? Have a guess, it will be in Teahupo'o in Tahiti, French Polynesia. What a bl**

Thanks for all that Col..........Sloopy girl...Magic...........

Carly is a very attractive lady and had some rather 'arresting' album covers back in the day. I recently bought a five album 'retrospective' and to be honest, she is/was a fairly average singer, who came from a very wealthy family. https://www.classicrockhistory.com/top-10-carly-simon-album-covers/

Thing is Kev..there was so much amazing and varied music around at the time, the bar was very high and even excellent songs could sink without trace..

Who didn't?

Ben I've seen that vid many times. May have even posted it here myself. It's wonderful and that young lady can certainly dance, but it's not original. It was made in 1975.. a good ten years after Rick Derringer's band The Mc Coys had their original hit. Here's the real story.. The girl is called Lisa Leonard Dalton and was hired to dance to the tune in C 1975, a good ten years after the original hit. Also look at Rick Derringer's hair. no way it would have been that long in 1964 or whenever. There are various videos out there explaining it all but they have something in them

And just to lighten things up a bit.. a song which always makes me think of spring, but only because he mentions 'Home Thoughts From Abroad'.. 'now that April's there...'

Forest- Fail to capitalise on the game in hand over Luton by losing 2-0 away at Everton. The referee and VAR came in for severe criticism for failing to award penalties to Forest, one handball appeared obvious yet was denied. Everton scored the first of their long range efforts in the 29th minute when Idrissa Gueye fired one home. McNeil put the result beyond doubt when his 25 yard shot went in off the post in the 76th minute. At the end of normal time the game was stopped for 8 minutes after Everton player Beto was injured during a challenge by Morgan Gibbs-White and had to be taken off

This is my fave Animals song. And one that members Burdon and Price wrote. I could imagine that being originally written by the likes of Bukka White ( who I believe preferred to be called Booker..) Dig!

I always plant coriander either end of my runner and green beans which seems to minimise the blackfly and marigolds in between my umpteen roses which helps with the greenfly. Far nicer deterrent than spraying, especially when you’re eating the end product. Last resort is a dilution of neem oil.

Love the little girl. My Granddaughter used to be like that whenever there was music. Obviously she's far too sophistcated now.. she's eight!

This is one of my favourite songs from the late Nanci Griffith. From her album 'Little Love Affairs', this is 'Gulf Coast Highway'. The song is basically a love song about a long term relationship, kept going through hardship etc..and it tells of 'Bluebonnets' .a.k.a. Lupins. There's another version on Youtube with a great video..but awful sound which I'll also post. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZu-ui3o0ek&list=OLAK5uy_kDlSt3Szdd6lQEuskbs8OxuEGy0IHtra0&index=6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okUYwIdxRWs I'm just an old romantic...
