The "Anything Goes" thread

That's close enough to be an honorary aussie

Why thank you. I had a relative play for the All Blacks but that was when I was a kid so can't remember his name.

Richard you have such wonderful memories!
It's a bit the same here.
It's a very primitive and untouched paradise.
The local people are very gentle and uncomplicated.
Life is day to day.
The speed of daily life is slow and happy.
We have found our little piece of paradise.
Surrounded by jungle our lagoon it turquoise and filled with fish,coral reefs and the occasional dugong.
We don't have the bird life here you described.But our beach front trees which tower along the shore line are between three hundred and four hundred years old.

It's truly a time warp.
It's the place that time forgot.

Paradise indeed.
I'm currently reading a book called The Coloured Countries by Alec Waugh. He explains the title is not to cause offence but is a term used by those living in the tropics. The book was published in 1930 and covers his travels to and stays at Bankok, Sydney, Singapore, Penang, Ceylon, the W Indies, Espiritu Santo and Tahiti. It's an enjoyable book despite his laboured grammar and writing style.

Just watched the Quo playing their new single. The beat and backings don't change but they are great.

Neither do the chords but you have to admire them for sheer determination. I have a few albums on vinyl one of the best things they ever did was a cover of "Roadhouse Blues" can't remember the album, but it's early Quo on the Vertigo label. Just bought the remastered " Solid Air " by John Martyn. Superb.

yes, you can't beat the oldies stuff! My hubby loves everything circa 60's and 70's and I try my hardest! He likes certain rock and indies stuff. How is that nephew doing? Must be two weeks now!

I'm doing more cooking these days. A couple of years ago I bought a Remoska and it languished in a cupboard till 2 months back. I have used it 2 or 3 times now and the food is great. It comes out piping hot which meets with my wife's approval. It's cheap to run.

We fancied a full English today. My version was oven chips, pork and apple sausages, fried eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes. All washed down with a glass of Lambrusco. We'll have the mugs of tea later.

I love my music. I like music with some passion. An album I bough a while back is "Blow up a go-go." it's a great club type record with early and modern music. Try this link http://www.last.fm/music/Various+Artists/Blow+Up+a-Go-Go! Or this link http://www.blowup.co.uk/records/compilations/blowupagogo/ as the first one doesn't seem to work properly.

Trad jazz is a love, as is reggae, rock n roll, etc. We have some superb music shows at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley.

I must search out a music-appreciation thread.
