I'd be happy with

Feedback 2 - The Seventies.

Feedback 3 - The Eighties (I think this could be brilliant).

1990 onwards would need to be a double A side single.

Series 1 of Interview With The Vampire. I've only very recently read Anne Rice's book and so was looking forward to this reimagination of the story. Well the shell of the story is the same, but a lot is changed, for the better? Actually I think it is. The book is dull at times, but this version moves things along at a pace. Of course the major change is that the main character is now black (the actor played Grey Worm in GoT) - but I really think the story has improved a lot because of this; it gives the whole thing a new perspective for the characters. Also whilst it was intimated in the book the love story between the 2 main, male vampires in the TV show it's blatant and no holds barred. There is also some nudity and also violence which was left to the imagination in the book, but here it's sudden and quite shocking - infrequent though. I haven't seen the movie with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt but I'm really enjoying this TV series. Series 2 has just started as well.

Last night we rattled through the last 4 episodes of season 2 of Clarkson's Farm. Compulsive viewing once you start. Even Sian is hooked, and she detests Mr. Clarkson.

Went for a walk today. Caught a bit of a cold at the end of last week and wasn't fully over it so didn't fancy even a short cycle.

The watch recorded my average stride as 87cm. Does that constitute "mean, mean"?

Edit: More of a question than a dilemma tbh

Quote from: The Picnic Wasp on Today at 04:47:31 PMI'd definitely buy a Victor / MFH flavoured output but it's not going to happen. Geddy's 71 in a couple of months so I can forgive his inability to make banshee noises these days. A nice little melodic song package would do nicely.

yes attempting those high and loud bits was painful (both to the listener and himself I'm sure) so something gentler where his vocal chords can reach without struggle might work

Really not a fan of recent Rush output - the last 2 albums anyway, so unless there's a change in direction I can live without any new material.  And with Geddy's voice shot, I don't think I'm missing out if they don't tour again.

No! I'm wrong plurals are included in the scrabble dictionary so that brings the number of common 5 letter words down to between approximately 1350 and 1800 (chat estimates that between 20 - 25% of them are plural ) - game is nearly done!

Don't think plurals are used in Wordle or the scrabble dictionary as far as I'm aware
