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?

    • I know the police have other things to do, but couldn't they move these people on and/or arrest them if they are collecting money illegally and being aggressive? Can't M&S do something?
    • I'm sorry too.... Completely off topic, but Facebook used to show me loads of stuff about baby elephants. Now it shows me loads of stuff about baby gorillas. And now I've got bloody gorillas on the ED Forum 😭
    • "What we can unequivocally state is that the behaviours described are entirely at odds with the Dulwich college of today.” ...so says the head honcho of Dulwich College today. Obviously actions speak louder than words in this area. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/dec/11/dulwich-college-head-responds-to-claims-of-teenage-racism-by-nigel-farage
    • Also endorse Niko! We had a mystery leak which he came round and identified as the dishwasher. After John Lewis came round and failed to install the new one due to a tricky door on the old integrated machine, Niko came back and had the new one cleanly installed and with the door on with no trouble at all. He was friendly, explained his process and transparent (and reasonable) on pricing. Hugely recommend him and will continue to use him when any issues crop up!
