My wife of 47 years is currently fighting for her life in the N/G, if she survives she will no doubt continue to make the pain in the arse of herself that we children of the 60’s appear to be so practiced at. 😇 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Can you please walk with Rod Stewart to the nursing home, but leave Sir Tom Jones and Sir Elton John  behind to sing to us ? If he retires he’s only got a meagre pension to live on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

He played 3 hrs, could have done 10, and you'd still know just about every song.  If it sounded crap to your ears, perhaps you need someone to look at the sound settings on your telly. It was fine  Compare it to the lip-syncing vocalists of today, who seem to record repetitive formulaic bland songs with a gobstopper in their mouth, which then get auto-tuned to death.    I agree, I thought he sounded fine. 14 hours ago, crookesey said: Either get up in the morning to live, or stay in bed and wait to die.

top4718 Â Â 838 #45 Posted June 30, 2022 I didn't see Macca's performance live on Saturday as I was out, just watched it on Iplayer and can't understand the criticism at all, here we had one of the best composers of popular music at an advanced age banging out some of the best songs ever written for nigh on three hours, Something, Hey Jude, the duet with Springsteen and the closing medley from Abbey Road were spine tingling, his voice missed on a few occasions but in the main was great, if your slating this I'm sorry but your wrong. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Blimey. I’m with Tops on both of these things.  McCartney was great. I’m not a big Beatles fan, but that is some musical legacy.  @crookesey. All the best to you and your Mrs. Here’s hoping that she has many more years of being a pain in the arse. It’s the best way.

crookesey   635 #47 Posted July 9, 2022 My wife smiled today and made a crap joke, well anything’s better than nothing. She’s still covered in what appear to be bruises, funny thing that, when I got back from the NGH yesterday I noticed a large ‘bruise’ like mark on my inside left elbow joint, I had done nothing more strenuous than a little light garden tidying. ???
