This is one of my favourite songs (I'm an old fashioned girl) and I adore Michael Stipe. Not too sure about Natalie Merchant or her strange dress (miaw), but always loving Michael


Lovely Michael Stipe To Sir with Love


Did I just do that right I wonder?

Still on "To Sir With Love", I'm not really a Tina Arena fan - but my partner's appreciation of her brought this song to my attention. The song's a corker!


I heard it done fabulously by Lulu at the Palladium for a Don Black (the lyricist) celebration recently. Anyway (best ignore the visuals and concentrate on the music), for what it's worth, Arena's version (with heavy Savage Garden influences I think):

I was forced to sing "Darlin" by Frankie Miller (though I think the Johnny Reid version is best) whilst doing the cleaning with my mammy when I was young ..My young son sings it now also which always brings a tear to my eye and will stay with me forever!

Blimey, never seen this clip before now. The Faces at the Marquee Club in 1970. Gorgeous song, great band, lovely understated soulful performance, obviously enjoying themselves and have had a few as was their want. Wonderful.


Devotion - The Faces

Mr M - You had the luck of the Irish with the weather for the end of the road! I really pity the poor folk at Bestival last weekend.


Have you been to Union Chapel before? It's such a fabulous venue run by really nice people. In previous years it's where Jo Wiley has held her Little Noise acoustic sessions and she's a woman with an enviable address book at her disposal. I hope she does some more this year; I'll post if she does.


Are there any headbangers from the forum going to the Metallica gig tonight?

    • You can get a card at the till, though, to get the discount. You don't have to carry it with you (or load it onto your phone), you can just get a different card each time. Not sure what happens if they notice 🤣
    • Yes..that may be the case but membership STARTING at £115 a month is still unafforable for many. Council gyms also have a large range of equipment and I had a  PT at Dulwich leisure centre when I was in Full Time employment who was incredible and even kept in contact during lockdown giving me a program I could do at home and checking in weekly at no charge or personal gain for herself. I dont doubt that Fit For may be a good gym (Its been in situ long enough so must be doing something right) However the cost of membership means it is affordable for the few not the many. If I could afford that kind of fee I would rather get a train to Canary Wharf and go to Virgin active where theres a pool and incredible classes and facilities 
    • This sounds great 👍 
    • We found a red TREK bike yesterday that had clearly been stolen and dumped. Would love to reunite it with its owner. Get in touch if you know whose it is.
