  1. More of the soundtrack of my youth gone Amid all the news about Covid 19 the weather and the behaviour of elements of the populace during the last week we lost two more voices from the 60's Sadly Trini Lopez died from complications due to Covid 19 aged 83. I particularly remember "If I Had A Hammer" and "Lemon Tree" Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders with "The Game of Love" and as a solo artist "Pamela Pamela", apparently after leaving the music scene he led a somewhat troubled life. Thanks for the musical memories

  2. Returned home this evening from a days fishing at Carsington (caught nowt) to find that I was in trouble with two of our Great grandchildren. The 7 and 8 y/o's came to see the chickens and to look at my completed extension to the coop. They went inside the extension and saw the sign - 'MAN COOP' ..beware of chicken shit! Looking for a pair of disreputable/rustic arm chairs for my MAN COOP.

  4. I thought Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders were quite underrated. I particularly liked their unusually titled 1964 single “Um, um, um, um, um ,um” and also enjoyed their recording of “Stop, Look and Listen” a catchy early 60s offering. Your quite right Oztalgian he was troubled soul but was right in there with the 60s music revolution that kicked off in Liverpool with the Fabs. RIP Wayne.

  5. I'm not going to get into this stuff about religion. I have friends who purport to be Christian, Muslim, Jewish.etc. I don't choose my friends by their religion.. but by their character . Politics is pretty much able to be defined by logic and force of argument. It exists within the rational world, even though disagreements occur. Religion actually starts from the abandonment of logic and rationality.. in favour of 'faith'. It is an edifice based on the acceptance of 'truths' which.. though usually well-intentioned.. have no basis in fact. Nume
