Pictures have surfaced following last night's adult themed problems, due to the content of the two pornographic posts put up last night, Sir Miles evoked hard porn protocol 351 so Sir M, Barbs and Syco dealt with offending articles in the safest manner

Though due to dodgy zip on one of the suits effective deletion was somewhat delayed

Look on the bright side, at least when the Russians come they won't be able to find you!

Back home again from all the bright lights and glamour that is Birmingham, or the
Florence of England as one taxi driver told me.

Barbel · October 2016

{[] Glad to see you, TP!

Chriscoop · October 2016

The florence of England??? I've been to Birmingham and florence and that is a stretch!

Thunderpussy · October 2016

Mightn't have been Florence ... But it was definitely one of the magic roundabout characters

Can I please have a Ginger Beer, TP.
Anyone celebrate Halloween where they are from?
or hear about the big Spectre-inspired day of the dead festival in Mexico?

Chriscoop · October 2016

I think they call it the Venice of the North on account of all the canals there. Though I've never seen shopping trolleys in the canals in Venice.

Not long till Guy Fawkes. That's when our dog goes bezerk.
I feel like LALD is our Halloween movie as well.

Yes, another great choice. -{

Goodbye Poirot, welcome barry white

I always thought Barry would have done a fantastic Moore-era Bond song.
Easily hear "First, last, everything' in a title sequence, and featuring in a John Barry score.

Thunderpussy · October 2016

One of my favourite songs of all time " You're the first, the last My Everything " -{

Love that song- I've sung it live a couple of times though I did have to raise the key a couple of notches!

(I'm a bass-baritone and can go quite low, but not as low as Bazza!)

That's so cool! My father got me in to Barry White, it was one of his guilty pleasures but I honestly have no shame in pumping his music from my stereo. There is a story about how when he was a young lad he had quite a high voice and then his Mum got an awful shock one day after it dropped into the caramel it is today.

Barbel · October 2016

Barry was a true bass, and I think he sang that song in the key of E or F making his bottom notes somewhere below very low C*. Most singers sound like water going down a plughole when they try to get that low, but with him it came out smooth as caramel, as you say. I do it in G, making the lowest note a D (which is still pretty low but doesn't compare).
Add to his voice the fact that he could write great melodies and produce & arrange them and you get one remarkable talent.

* For non-musos, I mean the C which lies two octaves below middle C. Any fool can hit middle C, most can do one octave below. Tenors aim for high C, one octave higher than middle C (think Pavarotti & co, or Roy Orbison). Very low C is the benchmark for bass singers and Mr White went below that regularly.

So what do you think of the election......................

...... on Iceland?

Barbel · October 2016

The Pirates seem to be doing well.

Number24 · October 2016

The best a Pirate party has ever done in the world

They might grant Edward Snowden political asylum. That's quite a personal journey - from Hawaii to Iceland!

Hey, thanks! That was really interesting. Just adds more of pre-existing admiration towards the great man.
