Jill Sparrow 9,179 Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Just about right for me, Loppy. Sunny and a slight breeze. Digging weeds out! Conversation with passing moggies. Very pleasant. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 4,938 Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 I've been to Lidl. I've had to get rid of the staff to make economies. I walked the 20 miles there and back to save on fuel costs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 3,593 Posted April 21 Author Report Share Posted April 21 Ya shoulda walked to Lidl at Burgess Hill, think how much you'd save then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 4,938 Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Is Burgess Hill cheaper than Bingham? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 3,593 Posted April 21 Author Report Share Posted April 21 I was thinking more of what you'd save in bus fare, or even more with taxi fare. Cheers ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When will they ever learn One of Pete Seegers better known "protest" songs. He wrote some great music such as If I Had A Hammer, Kisses Sweeter Than Wine and the Byrds hit Turn, Turn, Turn where I think the words have a biblical origin and a song often played on Children's Favourites, Little Boxes mad famous by Burl Ives.

MargieH 7,151 Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 The lyrics of the 'Turn, turn, turn' song were inspired by the Bible. Ecclesiastes chapter 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,151 Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Oz, there are several ... I knew some and and looked up others. 'Writing on the wall' written by Sam Smith for the Bond film 'Spectre'. The title is from Daniel chapter 3 'Hallelujah' written by Leonard Cohen, has some strange lyrics, but it is thought to refer to David the Psalmist playing music for King Saul. Also the song seems to mention the cutting of Samson's hair by Delilah! 'Where is the love' by the Black eyed peas mentions 'turning the other cheek' which are Jesus' words about how Christians are supposed to treat people who treat them badly 'By the rivers of Babylon' Boney M This is about the time the Israelites were in captivity in Babylon and were singing songs about their real homeland in Jerusalem (Zion) 'Gangster's paradise' by Coolio starts with words from Psalm 23 The song '40 ' by U2 is taken directly from Psalm 40 I'm sure there are more but I think this will do 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unmade Marian 22 Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Wow, well done MargieH. I was aware of some of them but the knowledge you have is impressive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,151 Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 @Unmade Marian I only knew four of them and looked up the others! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MRS B 40 Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I was a massive fan of Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Queen. What great songwriters. Also The Bee Gees, used to have a photo of Barry on the inside of my wardrobe door, very retro. Before the pandemic went to see Barry (on his own obvs) and Paul Simon. Paul wasn’t that brilliant I have to say but Barry was good. Also Fleetwood Mac who were amazing and very lucky to see all the original members, before Buckingham left. Have seen Queen many times with Freddie, Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert (he is so good). Rodders of course is the ultimate showman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
