Here's another reason to hope these bastards lose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RvuYcIaC5Y

I've got to say - I don't even care that the bloke who owns the studio where this was recorded is a fabulous fellow.

When the new, interactive on-line edition of the OED comes out, it will give a link to 2 m 11 s into this video for the definition of "cheesy".

Great band but there have been some better names imo, like Mum Smokes and Minimum Chips.

He's the big blonde bass player.

Ray Sawyer, lead sing of Dr hook, dies at the age of 81.

One of my fav bands back in the early 70's

This would be my favourite song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2QYvwsg-z8

Listening to 'Better, not bitter', Cosmic Psychos. Interesting band, lead guy, Ross Knight lives on his farm up Kilmore way and is great mates with Eddie Vedder.

Love him. Some of his songs make me want to cry while others evoke much happier emotions

Bloody power tools.Across the road. Took 4 weeks to put in an outside kitchen with tiling etc and the German decided it wasn.t perfect "We Germans like precision" I said we Project Managers check at stages so we can evaluate. He goes and plays golf while all the noise is going on. 7 friggin days a week. 6 weeks now. Now another bloke 2 doors up likes the idea so he is next. We had a power outage 2 days ago so out came the friggin mallets
Annoying opposition supporters since 1967.
