Queen at Hammersmith Odeon in 1975, when I was 6. I went with my parents who were still going to gigs in their seventies and only fairly recently stopped. They're far cooler than me!

G-ILDA (SM520) currently airbourne over Sussex: https://www.flightradar24.com/GILDA/3688ee13 Is this the flight or is it still planned for 11:00-ish?

Isn't the whole point that we can't instantly recall the Manchester bomber's or accomplice's name all about not giving them the notoriety that they craved? No surprise that the right-wing Spectator magazine celebrates the views of a rich, white performer with right-wing political leanings...

Four of us (two couples) went there for an evening meal just under a year ago. We dressed up a bit because the surroundings and the descriptions on the menus (not to mention the prices) lead us to think that it might be a bit upmarket so we were surprised to find the waiting staff looking a bit...

Well said! The argument for not just rolling over and taking whatever someone else fancies shoving up you has never been more eloquently and succintly put than this. This isn't about objecting to being drug tested, this is about not surrendering personal liberty. Those that spout smug rubbish...

Don't worry about restricting yourself to something that's got internet radio capability built in as that narrows your choice and pushes the price up. As long as whatever you buy has a Line-In socket and you've got an iPhone or android phone just download the TuneIn: Listen to Online Radio...

I wondered why there was a different steward at the entrance last night. Mrs Turnip used to work with him and he was a really nice fella apparently. She'll be sad to hear about this. How did you find out?

What's an important enough reason to leave early? Everyone has their reasons just as everyone has their reasons for staying until the final whistle. I left at 1-2 but I'd have left if we were winning 8-0 with only injury time to play out. The reason is the piss poor journey home (it's only...

This is why. I spent an hour in a bus queue after the Liverpool and Leeds games. I left at 2-1 tonight because the game was effectively over at that point and I wasn't prepared to waste another hour of my life on top of the 45 minutes I'd already wasted. The sight of the palace fans going...

A couple of naked lesbians barged into the house today, and started wrestling with my wife while she was in the bath. I tried to help, but I could only knock one out.

Chilli Burger for starters, followed by a Mixed Grill and cup of tea. Nice and strong, mind!

That's not something I get accused of very much :laugh:

Let me get this straight, you don't like being manipulated by large multi-national media organisations into buying dross that's being served up as music so you decide to allow yourselves to be manipulated by another set of large multi-national media organisations into buying something that was...
