My dad once said they were allright until they got into 'all that trancendental meditation lark' - Beatles were ace - mccartney was great after the beatles too - band on the run is faultless , he totaly lost it in the 80s - the only decent thing lennon did post-beatles was Imagine ( in my opinion)

Very true. Esp in terms of radio airplay. But is it so surprising given we're now almost half a century away from Sergeant Pepper's first release? Scary if I think about that too much. I think they've done their bit for music.

Because no one had ever done a lot of what they did before.


There was a recent program about Jimi Hendrix in which someone said along the lines of "we've all seen the videos now and it seems old hat, but if you were there in that crowd seeing this wild man setting his guitar alight, it would have blown your mind".


The Beatles were doing things that had never been done before, they were prog rock before prog rock existed.

      Jags Swimming pool Temperature

      By EDLORDER · Posted

      Interesting, because I've been going throughout the past few years with different sets of kids and the parents i'm with have always said it's cold. Also spoke to a couple in passing the past weekend and one even said that's why she never brings her 18 month old because it's too cold. Thanks for your feedback. Maybe it's the room temperature that's throwing me off. But the showers are way definitely way warmer than the pool itself.

      Post office or Thorpe Park???!

      Twice this month I’ve used the PO upstairs at the old WH Smith’s in Forest Hill. Very helpful and efficient with no long wait. But it’s sods law with post office queues, you just never know.

      I took an item for tracking to Los Angeles having paid postage and customs fee already online to Family Stores in Upland Road. They printed label and custom form from a QR code and all good, present has arrived, and there was no queue. ETA Actually the main reason I posted this is to reassure those who are put off sending gifts to the US because of all the tariff business, like I was, that it is very straightforward
