Probably not a band that I would listen to now but the 18 minute live version of "Nantucket Sleighride" (from "The Road Goes Ever On") is epic - if you like that sort of thing! The studio version of the track was used for the ITV 1970s political news programme "Weekend World". Thanks for posting @scottmitchell74 !

Seems it's 'Let's build more houses time' where I live. All I get all day is a constant thudding resounding through my bungalow (and, I assume' everyone else's abode) so they must be piledriving not too far away. It happens every weekday, starts about 08.30 and by 10.00 I have a really bad headache
I know you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs but, in this day and age, you'd think they'd have something less primitive than what must be metal on metal

Just when Anne thought she'd have some peace for a few days/weeks, she's fetched up in the same place!

Oh dear, perhaps this thread ( @Newportnobby ) should be retitled "Get well soon, Ann and George".

PS there was a comedy series called "George and Mildred" but thankfully our George is a completely different kettle of fish...

They operate on Mrs B on Tuesday, so she gets her own room!

Ouch, just seen this. Get well soon George!

 
   Gosh George hope you're families luck changes soon 
  stay safe regards Derek
