Wow the whole show was incredible. That's one that got away from me, I wish I had seen that live.

Constantly prompted for Google Chrome . . am I missing out?

Great minds, and all that, I prefer the Royal Albert Hall edition though. 49:20 and crank your speakers up to maximum. And if you're like me, you'll let it run and listen to Ella Eyre afterwards. :)

Those pop proms do nothing for me but each to their own. What I meant was when a classical orchestra takes pop songs and plays them like grandiose orchestral works. For me, it’s not a match made in heaven but anyone is of course free to differ.

Agree if its the Philharmonic does the Clash or the Beatles or even Abba but those two Vids are amazing. Royal Albert Hall is even better than the O2! Thanks for posting

I'm sure there are - i was probably generalising too much, and certainly wouldn't wish to offend any genuinely talented people.

Offend away! I was wondering what you meant by "modern" though.

There was an article on the subject in Monday's Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/...real-musicians

It was pretty badly written work experience kid/"will this do?" in the main, but I agree with this:

Those are the sort of things I was posting about. Yuk!

I guess by "modern" i mean that years ago DJ's only ever played records - they never or very rarely "made" them whereas in the last 20 years some DJ's have become artists in their own right.

Ah, OK - thanks for replying.

It's been a lot longer than 20 years though, and I'm not talking about such classics as "Convoy G.B." or "It Takes Two, Baby".

You're welcome. :)

Does anyone else's wife just leave a trail of jobs/destruction behind them? I've lost count of the times I've unblocked sinks this year, also I've repaired our hoover so many times it must have few original parts. Despite my advice to never stretch the lead (just move it to another socket). Don't run it when it's nearly full or when hair is tangled around the brush bar.... I give up.

Mine does all of that plus leaves cupboard doors open, it drives me mad

Also don't get me started on the hair left everywhere. I won't see 80 as I'll become ensnared and have a fall well before.

The electrics tripped this morning and there was a burning smell from her using the toaster (I rarely touch it). It was news that you have to empty the crumb tray. I just did it and almost half a loaf came out.

Yeah, lightweight seems to be incapable of closing a cupboard door.

I'm sure I've mentioned it before but mine chucks everything into the bathroom cabinet & rushes to shut the cabinet door, knowing full well that when the next person opens it (normally me), everything just falls out - packets, tubes, boxes, everything - all over the floor. Every ******* time.

My good wife is incapable of putting things back where she found them, which means I end up having to search for everything when I need it. She also has a cleaning obsession and leaves the hoover lying out in places that I’m not expecting; so if I’m not stubbing my toe on it, I’m tripping over it or worse...treading on the upturned plug! :sob:

And what does she say each time I scream out in anger and pain? ‘Why don’t you look where you’re going then?’

To hear is to obey, you short arse, carrot gobbling, twat.

Drives me ******* mad, bubbs. 'A place for everything & everything in its place'

Cohort being bandied about like it was common language 6 months ago.

:D

"Alluded to" is near the top of the charts on television at the moment, too.

I also get this, because I'm not allowed to leave anything on 'display', doesn't matter if I ******* use it every day.

Every BBC report seems to include the word 'albeit' and once we near the end of the season you know every football report is going to mention a teams 'penultimate' game.

I get this, plus taking stuff out of the microwave and leaving the door open and hence the light on.

I've never even considered that anyone would ever leave the door of the microwave open

:eek: :eek: :eek:

All this wife stuff, trust me, you'll miss things like that if the worst happens.

Attachment 54583
People putting their feet up on train seats

Oh, and I always leave the microwave door open, stops trapping smells.

I will miss the good bits. I don't think I will miss the moody mare bollox when I haven't managed to tick all the 50 boxes on the how to be a perfect partner.

When she seems to be looking for a row. Respond...wrong...don't say anything...wrong.

If the little light goes off automatically after a while - you've got a quality micro.

Or the meter needs a shilling as my Nan used to say..... :)

Or bypassing

Like being on here then

For some reason that brought back a memory. I used to stay with my Nan while my mum as working and the gas man would come around to empty the meter but he would sit down at the kitchen table have a cup of tea and a biscuit and then he would give a chunk of the cash back to my Nan. I have no idea if this was normal or not but it happened regularly enough. Anyone remember? They were pensioners but it never crossed my mind until just now - why did she get some of it back?

So no smutty innuendos please - this is my Nan we are talking about and besides I was sitting there with them stuffing my face with biscuits so..... :)

Cheers

Don't want to sound like a misery-guts or cowardy-custard, but throwing snowballs is such a low-brow, moronic thing to do.

What little light? My microwave was about £15, hate using them.

On here I can provoke a reaction.

At home I could do the shopping, cook lunch, wash the dishes, tidy generally, sit and watch 5 minutes of football and get the comment, 'football again'.

My pet peeve is when she has a lazy day...she stays in bed, I bring brunch etc. She tells me to ignore her because she knows she is irrationally snappy. Then at 7pm she tries to reverse her laziness by going to the other extreme...that generally involves moving furniture about...taking curtains down..painting something..

Of course, I cant be seen to be comfortable doing nothing.

These days I can see that day of misery a miles off.

Other peeve is when I don't jump to join in their spontaneous plans...even when I have taken a run up three days earlier with reminders that Palace are playing.
Usually means they go out and I avoid the nervous last 10 minutes of games houseworking to earn brownie pts.

:supergrin:

What did you expect when you married a Latino ? (Or should that be Hispanic? - Excuse my ignorance if I’ve got that wrong)

Fair call, thanks al for putting things into perspective

Fly tipping

This is why many guys remain single, can't do with the hassle

Dont come to Santiago. It's a disgrace.

I may have posted this before, but I find it really annoying that Messenger won't let you edit a post after you have sent it.

Nothing sinister, I just want to correct a silly spelling mistake.

Even this bloody BBS lets you at least attempt to save face if you are quick enough and no one quotes you!

Yes, and also people who discard COVID masks on the pavement and people who leave stuff outside charity shops.

This is getting out hand round the country lanes here usually at night but this Fridge freezer appeared between two bike rides on Saturday morning and Saturday tea time. Local Plod keeps driving past giving me the eye but I'm not sure I could get that on the back of my bike!

https://i.imgur.com/uDahHx0.jpg

you sure thats not another of those monolith things ?

Other people's might be c***s though?

You got it that far!

:) Never thought of that? Typical cutbacks though as the US get a hand crafted polished metal monolith here in the UK we get a f***ing Zanussi !

Perhaps it's not the freezer that's triggered his interest in you?

I did contemplate getting it home though if it worked!

It did surprise me why it was there but I did hear that Hotpoint were outstanding in their field. :o

Not sure what I've done but I think he wants to throw me in the cooler?

Looks like a Tardis type thing to me...

I think it's a TARDIS too. If you get fed up with the winter go inside and see where you wind up.

If that's the TARDIS then I may get to meet Dr Hoo-ver?

You need The Doctor.

I'm impressed that you could lean over on your bike rounding the corner and take a picture at the same time... :p

I've seen quite a few of them recently. I assume it's related to the lockdown/get out and exercise regime for older folks.

I would like say it was done with skill but its just a still from the GoPro video. I meet so many jaywalking born again walkers on the back roads that I thought I would at least get a video of their miserable faces just before I crashed into them!

E-bikes are the big thing for oldies here (Including me). I'm still surprised how slow some ride even with a motor attached.

I once touched the real TARDIS (and that's not a euphemism).

It's the same here... they are like bloody bottle flies!

I've mentioned it before, but there is nothing more annoying than huffing and puffing up an incline on your "normal" bike and being overtaken by some old biddy on an e-bike who gives you a cheery "Good Morning" as they zip past you!

Bloody pedestrians using the pavement

To be fair, I don't see a pavement in LN1's photo, unless you are talking about the "American" use of the word pavement?

Was I referring to the picture?

People wearing all the gear (including goggles) skiing down urban hills. The press describing them as 'skiers'. Franz Klammer was a skier. These are just c*nts with expensive equipment, unable to resist showing off.

I don't think anyone knows what you were referring to, because it clearly had nothing to do with LN1's post.

Franz Klammer was a skier. And so was Michael Fish.

And here comes the helmeted avenger with his handlebars of useless adornments.

Your obsession is just plain weird, and I really wish you'd stop it.

Apologies for effing autocorrect

Kramer versus Klammer.

You keep biting I'll keep baiting. :love:

It's the BBS way !

Credit for that one !

Oh, and my latest contribution to the thread is use of the phrase "Beast From The East".

On TV, no-one ever has to plug their laptop into the mains.

That's always going to grind your gears, isn't it !

Couldnt of been the wife, the doors are closed

[emoji16]. These people are absolute ***** though, there's not much of a deterrent or chance of being caught.

Somebody dumped an old sofa and chair down Kelsey lane a couple of weeks back. Cnts.

Wankers. Take it down the dump FFS

Although there are a number of funny clips on Youtube in which the perps get caught red handed. Watching them having to manually put their garbage back in their trucks is priceless. What took seconds to tip, can take hours to throw back.

Didn't Maz dob one of his neighbours in to the council for this ?

It’s just our PM out for a jog.

Probably. I'm not planning to mellow in my old age. I'm going to enjoy being one of those pensioners who shouts at randoms in the street. Probably while pissing down my trousers.

People who take shopping trolleys from the supermarket and leave them by the side of the road.

No convenient streams or rivers near you then?

Struggle o get the over the beach :D

please edit.

LOL - we wouldn't want you any other way ! Well, perhaps not the incontinence ...

People wearing sunglasses in the middle of winter.
Today for example it's just not that bright.

The low level of the winter sun can make sunglasses appropriate

Nonsense unless you have a medical condition you really dont need to be wearing sunglasses, we're not in the alps.

I find driving into a low sun in winter especially in the early morning or late afternoon quite impossible without sunglasses. I wouldn't think being in five degrees' lower latitude would make much difference. Other than for driving though I tend to agree.

Indoors or outdoors?
