Quote from: Newportnobby on August 19, 2025, 09:09:22 PMThis has always been, for me, the definitive version of 'Supper's ready' and is never far from the top of my playlist. OK, there are 2 drummers much of the time, but it just strikes me a combination of Phil Collins at the height of his vocals and superb musicianship can't be beaten

I always liked Supper's Ready and no doubt listened to it way too much back in the day but, like a lot of music from that era, I find it very dated these days I'm afraid.
Nice listen though, probably the first time I've heard SR right through for around 25 years.

It's really interesting seeing what happens to songs when people take out the effects and turn them totally acoustic. Some stuff there is nothing left  but other stuff it really exposes the underlying music as with Iron Maiden and Metallica

I quite like that but couldn't listen to too much of it.
A nice medieval/baroque and slightly folky feel to it.
Much better than the original version 

Well, I don't know which referral it was (via the GP or the optician trying direct) but I called SpaMedica this morning and they confirmed that they had a referral for me.

They offered me a cancellation slot tomorrow morning for the pre-op assessment. Luckily my transport can do it, otherwise the next available appointment would have been a month away.

So, thankfully, the process has started - because at the speed the PCO is developing I reckon in a month's time I'd be close to being as blind as a bat in unfavourable lighting. Reading the computer screen is getting very hard and the evenings are starting to draw in - I came home at dusk the other night and when a car came the other way, granted with a badly adjusted headlight, I could hardly see a thing until they'd gone past

Happy Birthday George

Thanks, everyone, even if I'm a bit embarrassed 

Anyway, the Bealettes shouted us a night in Sydney at a posh hotel. The weather was awful, unfortunately.



VB was indeed consumed,but rather than beneath the golden arches, more like the white sails of the Opera House:

Enjoy a few VBs if you must   

What are you trying to do? Finish him off? 

Well done on having yet another birthday George



 

Happy Birthday, George! You can drink those VB's at the bus stop.

Quote from: Adam1701D on August 18, 2025, 01:38:44 PMI have not had any luck contacting Luke and Kylie over the last year or so. Companies House shows Electra as a going concern, so the ball is totally in their court.

If you can't contact them, then I imagine that there is no chance of anyone being able to do so.   

It's such a shame - Luke and Kylie were so full of enthusiasm for taking on Electra, even getting a brand-new printer. To go totally radio-silent is really worrying for me.

So it's party time today under the Golden Arches.

Happy Birthday George

Happy birthday, George!
