*goes to look for sbhoa's signature*

*looks*

My brain hurts.... 2 hours of practice and I've now switched off

There wis (sorry, was... thinking in Scottish and trying to type in English ) a forum raffle?!

There's something very satisfying about cracking an egg on a basin!!!! Don't know what that says about me .....


I'm not a psycho really ---- honest!!!



She's trying to win votes for the forum signature award......

I think I just chose the wrong moment to go for a walk. I'm a tad wet now.

To explain...

It's a cryptic way of saying that of all the women I was paired with in the best couple awards, me and sbhoa got the most votes!

Basil noticed the hair cut.

In that case maledictis won me, but I feel a bit like a spare tyre what with all the others on her books

Perhaps your other half Gerald primed him

Can we see a photo then

I primed him you monkey. He put it in his Raspberry to remind him. Saves a row though eh??
It's very short and funky this time.

Oh, don't worry - I'll find something to do with you...

Comments like that will get me some sort of reputation...

Like you don't already have one

Do you know, Skylark, I was today not too far away from where Bev and Barry live and when I saw the first message, I wondered if I should have made contact with him! Except that I didn't see it until tonight

So Bev, will you dare to not send a Raspberry message before your next hair cut

[Tries to imagine "short and funky" on Beverley, that nice duet partner that I once knew...]

Says the forum Siren!

I'm a jolly nice chap, not deserving of any ill repute

Skylark's signature today:

My word doesn't time fly when you are having a good time!

Thank you Skyers for noticing, and thank you for bringing it to my attention in such a discrete way, even though it does make me feel yet another year older . The drinks are on me in The Tavern (although I may not be there to pay for them......)

And I'm a jolly nice girl - so there

It's a bit like this



The hair, not the face or bod

Very nice Bev!

Oh.







It will grow again.




I'm not at all surprised Barry noticed!

Ta everso. Kate and Jen keep playing with it, because it's got gel in and they make it stick up



You can go off folk you know

That's funny, that's exactly what I was going to say.

[Sigh] I suppose I will like it one day - maybe in a couple of months time . No I didn't mean that, I shall reserve judgement until I have seen your new hairdo for myself.

I have been reliably informed that my hair is longer than the photo by Kate.

I read that as "off" and "folk" being the opposite way around My brain is frazzled.

Not where I'm concerned.

I trust Kate's judgement, so that means it is a lovely hairdo.

[Phew, glad that's sorted then. ]

My exam is is four and a half hours.

I just need to moan about something trivial:

The shop at the Art School sells, by sheet, a great type of paper that we all use. I was with a fellow student when she bought all 12 sheets they had left. She said rather smugly that what she didn't use she was putting into storage as she was moving house. I suggested she might leave some in case others needed it but that went right over her head and she bought it all anyway. The shop does a stock-take in August so won't have any more until sometime after that.

Another fellow student is having a panic attack because she needs this paper for her degree show.... in August (pg degree show). I have 3 sheets left and can give my friend 1.5 - 2 sheets of it because I will need a sheet for the show myself.

I'm so mad I might be left short now too and the only person that has the stuff has stuck it in storage.

Some people are so GREEDY.

(okay feel better now I've moaned )

That's very tedious, Lottie - can you get the paper online?

A little corn bug fellow has just been crawling around 'inside' my computer screen! He must have been nible to get in. He's gone now, probably causing havoc further behind the scenes..

Quick thought-

Does anyone here listen to any 'normal' music?

Cos on the "what are you listening to?" thread it's all very classicaley.

Anyone a fan of Katy Perry? The Killers? Lily Allen? Lady Gaga? The Noisettes? etc etc etc

Anyone at all?

I dont always listen to classical.

I like 'Human' by The Killers

And... it depends what you class as normal music... i like a lot of 80's music and i've met Sting twice to prove it!

I love that song

I 'spose normal music for me, is the music in the charts atm.

Normal???? Are you suggesting classical isn't NORMAL?

Well OK, last night on the train home I listened to some Grinderman having discovered I hadn't copied Queens of the Stone Age to my iPod.

I grew up with 1970s prog rock and often find myself listening to Led Zep or similar. The odd really good band pops up on Jools show from time to time, but I can't think of any offhand.

Sorry, can't be doing with her...







Don't know if they'll be one hit wonders, but 'Don't Upset The Rhythm' is a good record.



I've just rediscovered Focus. A little before my time, but my gosh, they were a great band. Everyone should be made to listen to Hocus Pocus...

Twice

I was lucky enough to see Focus a couple of times back in the old days when I were a lad. Really excellent musicians.

Speaking of which a What's On leaflet dropped through my door this morning for Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.
October 4th - The Groundhogs, Wishone Ash and Focus. All on one night. That's worth a

I don't really listen to classical music, I just sing it occasionally. That probably makes me a Bad Musician, but I don't care (much).

I like 'normal music', rock, etc. I like dance music, but only in clubs, nowhere else, and my true love is musical theatre. I also like country, especially when I'm miserable.

I don't like Lady Gaga though, and Katy Perry actually makes me ill. I really dislike her music a lot. I'm listening to Taylor Swift now, and earlier I was listening to Eva Cassidy, and yesterday I was listening to Brand New.

Most of my posts in there aren't classically...


Fab song!


I like music that's in the charts. For some time I've felt embarassed to admit this to anyone I've met through this forum, but stuff it! I love pretty much everything in the Top 40 right now.

Oh, and for the record yes I am following the whole Katie Price/Peter Andre thing.

I'd rather have my eardrums pierced with red-hot needles than listen to Lady Gaga.

As for Lily Allen, Katy Perry, Kate Nash etc..

Just had a very disgruntled ginger tom appear through the cat flap. He was dozing nicely on the top of the garden wall when the heavens opened.

Focus are still touring?

Ooooo!

Noooo, it's great!!!!
I used to hate it... but then in dance at school, we were allowed to do a dance to whatever, and loads of girls in my class blasted out all of this music, and it was great!!
I like music like that to pick me up, and make me jump around and dance a bit

You can hardly dance to classical music.

I love Shake it by Metro Station, or I Just Can't Get Enough by the Saturdays, or Hot N Cold by Katy Perry.
When everyone's out, I put it on the stereo and jump around the house. The kittens give me funny looks.

Still, it's not for everyone.

Add me to the list...I like all of those bands haha...in fact, I'll listen to pretty much anything I'm always amazed when people are shocked by the fact that I like Mozart AND Lady Gaga AND Stone Sour AND Led Zeppelin AND loads of other things, from my era or not! It's like...well, it might not all be to your tastes, but if I like the track, I'll listen to it, why not!

Incidentally, Lady Gaga is VERY good live, in fact better than her recordings I think...she was the support when I saw Take That a few weeks ago and whilst rather err, provocotive, and crazy as but she's got a great voice and is a very talented pianist too! Not everyone's cup of tea I admit, but a very good performer

Saame! My friends find it hilarious that when they nick my ipod and look at 25 most played songs, there's the poulenc flute sonata, debussy piano, just dance, and broken strings

I love lady gaga! She's a bit eccentric, but has a great voice and style.

So it seems - http://www.focustheband.com/english.html
Not the original lineup (as is usually the case with reunions) though Thijs van Leer is still there.
Oh and Wishbone Ash are "Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash" containing 1 member of the original line-up - yes Martin Turner. Not to be confused with "Wishbone Ash" containing 1 other original member, Andy Powell.
As for the Groundhogs - well Tony McPhee is still there but I don't know about the rest of the line up.

Blimey, there's more. It seems there are some other old s ds having a go. Curved Air would you believe? Anyone remember Sonja Kristina? If my previous experience of going to see them is anything to go by, they won't turn up.
