A fortnight ago we had a week in Hinterglemm in the Austrian Alps. First snowboard trip for four years. Lovely hotel, absolutely delightful food. Snow not all that but a fantastic holiday nevertheless.
No plans for summer yet. I may save my leave as I'm retiring at the end of August so I could go a week or two earlier if I don't use it.
We've already had a couple of weekends away in the motorhome. We are off to Bakewell tomorrow for the Easter weekend. Cycling and beer on the agenda.

From September onwards, everyday will be a holiday!

10cc - Deceptive Bends

'Tin-Foiler-in-Chief' has your back on this one:

I thought you may find that particular example of bias a tad more acceptable

Love Pembrokeshire

Just appeared in my head from nowhere yesterday. Great pop song. Should have been a single.

One of the 'least worst' tracks on side two of RtBs

Genesis - Selling England by the Pound

Bruce Springsteen - The Ghost of Tom Joad
Genesis - Foxtrot

It'll be interesting to see if he can come off the ramipril when Labour get into government

Another apology. This time for calling Reform UK "far-right"

Quote from: Slim on March 19, 2024, 10:11:08 AMIt is a good album though and some of those records I've just listed definitely aren't.

In your (not so humble) opinion

My first compilation with original artists (K-Tel's 40 Supergreats -1975) had Cockney Rebel's 'Mr Soft' on it. That was a bit too weird for my taste at the time but 'Make Me Smile' fits into the category of near-perfect pop tune. An absolute belter from our schooldays.
