  1. Not too keen on the brown juice you get in shop bought dripping I preferred the heavy black marmite tasting stuff, which sat on the bottom of the basin in homemade. Of course, I am talking about beef dripping.
  2. Albums were always called that in the US, LP is more or less a British thing. Probably right about the transition from groups to bands though, I think it started with Chicago about 1967,now they were more like a band as we knew it, as they had a 3 man horn section. Of course, they were called Chicago Transit Authority in those early days lol
  3. That excellent documentary "Night Will Fall" is on Netflix. Need a strong stomach to watch it. What horrible people those Nazis were.
  4. Always glad to see a Sheffield team beat Leeds. Well done, from a long time but long distance Owls fan.
  5. Wernt two on em wimmin? ---------- Post added 10-02-2018 at 22:50 ---------- United or City?
  6. Funny just thought of Maneater as a Tiger for example. Then I realised Trudeau wasn't the first with this nonsense there was a hit pop song in the 50s called Purple People Eater.
  7. Stopped smoking years ago. Besides 7 is lucky isn't it? Could use a bit of luck.
  8. Yes a lot of history in that bar, but a lot of famous bands not listed used it for rehearsing like the Police did , usually on quiet weekday nights. I believe the Stones have done it there too.
  9. How could he have possibly known, if he is naive? Just kidding Mr/Ms N.
  10. A former workmate of mine showed me a picture of himself, his wife and all 3 members of the Police sat at a table in a pub, late 70's early 80's. They had had their first couple of hits in North America and were running through some routines in this bar in Toronto ahead of a big concert in town. You could see the name of the bar "The Horseshoe' in the background, but you couldn't see anybody at the bar or at the other tables. He told me there were about a dozen other customers there. However when the news broke later 100's of people had been there that night LOL
  11. Check OP identity, take a pinch of salt and move on to the next thread.
  12. Miss fresh pork pies a lot, you can only get frozen ones over here eh?Shops, where you can get them, are few and far between too. Marks and Spencers had decent frozen ones, but they bailed out of Canada about 25 years ago.
  13. Correct and 'mankind is an abbreviation of it. This has already been pointed out by a poster, earlier.
  14. I know of cases where the young mother refuses to have anything to do with the father after the child is born, he was just used for the occasion. That is more common than one might think, yet the poor guy still gets hounded for support, even though he truly wanted a relationship with the child and its mother. Keep your zips up fellas.
  15. Watched Bowling for Columbine a couple of nights ago, that brilliant documentary tells you all you need to know about Americans and their love of guns.One stand out scene is when Michael Moore gets a free powerful rifle simply for opening a bank account and his baiting of the late Charlton Heston, who was head of the NRA at the time, was priceless.
  16. Doesn't the club's insurers pick up the tab for players with long-term injuries? That is how it works in North American sports.
  17. C'mon now, we all cheered on Celtic when they were the first British club to win the European Cup( Champion's League).
  18. Bowling for Columbine 9/10 Excellent documentary from Michael Moore about America's love affair with guns.This film is at least as relevant today as it was when first shown, maybe even more relevant.
  19. I do have a family member who could be called Barber-Cutts, and I am not kidding.
  20. Tom Brown's Schooldays, great adaptation of the classic novel about a public school's sadistic rituals and bullying in the 19th century. Stephen Fry is brilliant as the headmaster. 8-10
  21. Canada now has new province between Ontario and Saskatchewan it's called Personitoba.
