  1. Somerset beaches don't have pebbles.. they have silt and rocks! (Some have sand).
  2. When I met my current partner, I hardly swore. Not because I was a goody two-shoes, but just because I rarely heard the words in use except the odd movie or odd persom coming across some mishap The only time I heard searing regularly post secondary school was my ex-finacee's sister who was going through a mid-life crisis (yes, women get them, too) and wanting to be cool interweaved shit with every day parlance, and she had 4 young kids at the time. I noticed the people she hung out with were of similar behaviour - but shit that was about it,, I don't even remember then using the C word (as in "crap", not that C word). But, these days, I swear like a trooper - but only when angry or frustrated. Since I joined banking, everyone uses the F bomb and the like in normal parlance amongst peers they know will not take offence, though the C word is still rare. My old manager of about 7 years ago, however, used the C word regulalry, but I always thought it was quite derogatory and unwarranted. My son uses the F word in regular parlance with his mates; my daughter less so. Language does evolve. Apparently the F word was not vulgar many years ago. I heard something in London I haven't heard for years.. Amongst a group of young-ans with thick Aussie accents, one of them blurted, "they call all go and get f'ed".. Brought a wry smile to my face.
  3. Daughter's 18th yesterday. She was insistent I was involved from a celebratory breakfast to being with her and her friends on the beach, to evening meal and drinks at a pub.. How cool is that!
  4. Was my daughter's 18th yesterday... and I took her to the beach with a couple of friends of hers. The lyrics of modern music these days makes me think the F-bomb can seriously no longer be offensive.
  5. Sadly, it is another enterprise that focuses on monetisation
  6. In OME's defence, he has been fixing a lot, lately..
  7. https://www.horntip.com/html/recitations/long_recitations/the_word_fuck.htm
  8. Last one for this eve:
  9. How is this one for a beaut!
  10. Now, for something a little different. This is the piece that introduced me to classical music, and I have never looked back: And, although, quite a few years before this concert, it is the same Classical Spectacular at the Royal Albert Hall, where I first saw the 1812 overture live. What a show!
  11. Now.. a couple of poppy songs I like.. I dunno why, but they are just, IMNSHO, plain good: And this one: (Told you, you would regret starting this thread).
  12. And this guy still had it long after he was out of the charts:
  13. OK.. another of my non-Aussie faves: (The live vids are so much better than the studio albums).
  14. Woman + Black + Asian = I don't like her chances. If the Democrats want a decent shot at winning the election, then they need to be brutal - not many voters like the idea of candidates parachuted in to save the day. It is widely known - up until now - that this was to be the election of candidates very few wanted. Democrats have to find someone that can resonate with the electorate - and can beat Trump at his own game. It really should be that simple for them. Maybe Biden had more support than we give credit for:
  15. Can't wait to get back to that part of the country, myself!
  16. I had a rather nice red last night - Grant Burge Filsell Shiraz.. to go with home made moussaka - All to myself. At 14%, I was a little more muddled than normal with the keyboard last night.
  17. Brings too much money to the industry and the government to want to stamp it out. Plus Gaming NSW, for example, apparently has a hell of a lot of clout.
  18. And anohter.. you fellas are gong to br sorry for starting this thred:
  19. And her eis my fave: Notice all of em are live!
  20. And here is a guy who has transcended age
  21. I was at the Philly concert.. and he said the same abot tha concert in the last from that was Pittsburgh.. and he said the same.. But, alas yo guys will hate me because I wil lfill this thread.. here is a grass roots concert clip:
  22. You are going to be sad that you stared a general music vid thread. I am not one for Country usic, but I love this:
  23. And, I am hardlye a Repooblican, but I do like this clip.. and live is so much better:
  24. OK.. If we are not liiting to Aussie music.. One of m faves:
