Apropos couple things above Pat - I am astounded at that re the guillotine, I really am.
When the Simpsons appeared first they were a little 2 or 3 minute addendum at the end of some weekly show by, I think, Tracey Ullman or maybe Cindy Lauper? But they were totally anarchic, I'd never seen that humour before, knocked me for six, was just brilliant. But like everything, familiarity knocks the edge off everything, now I wouldn't be bothered watching it. I really only look at sports on TV, sometimes the news, the odd Prime Time or whatever, that about it. |

Gerry, feel the same re tv.
Hardly ever watch tv during summer months. Like you it's sport or news or the odd documentary. I get more enjoyment from a good book or some classic music that I like. |

Maybe I'm odd but I just don't get today's comedy programmes.
American trash mostly. I loved Faulty Towers, George & Mildred, The Marx Brothers, Father Ted for example. I get Mrs Brown's Boys. Think thats funny. Brendan gets away with some flack. Not an addict though. |

Agreed Pat. Mind you, I think at a certain age, most of us have heard most of the jokes already ! Not necessarily a good thing admittedly !

The Eagles "Greatest Hits 1971 - 1975" has overtaken "Thriller" by Michael Jackson as the biggest selling album in history.
The Eagles achieved 38 times platinum as against 33 times platinum for Jacksons album. And The Eagles "Hotel California" is third in the all time list going platinum 26 times. |

It's funny Pat, at the time the Eagles were going strong in the 70s I didn't have a lot of time for them - anything that had any hint of what we regarded as the dreaded "country music" was anathema. But I have since come to realise how really talented they were. And they could rock,it as well. "Life in the Fast Lane" a particular favourite (also "hotel California", "Witchy Woman" etc etc...

Gerry.
I bought that Eagles "Greatest Hits" when it came out first. Always an album I liked to play. |

Saw this in some news clip recently.
For the first time in Spain the pig population is now greater than the human population. Concerns are being raised about the impact this will have on the greenhouse effect 🐷🐷🐷🐖🐖🐖 |

Yeah Pat, you just beat me to it in posting that. I hope they live long and happily together in their married life. Maybe inspire some more musical genius in Neil Young ... 💏👫🍻

I never knew there was a plagerism dispute over The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" Andrew Oldham Orchestra did a version of The Rolling Stones "The Last Time" from which The Verve took the orchestral part to make their song. So Richard Ashcroft ended up losing royalties on the song and Jagger/Richards were added to the credits. |
