Thank you RevolvingPiggies!
Mithveaen I actually don’t mind the heat! It’s the cold that bothers me more. I stayed in Phoenix AZ for 3 years and the 2nd week out there my air conditioner in my car broke and for the rest of my time out there I didn’t have it. So I got used to being hot all the time hahaha
Oh and concerning the topic of vegetarians….I was one for about 2 months back in high school! I usually fast every year and go a month or so without eating me. I love it but I’m trying to have a more veggie/less meat diet.
seaglass eyes sunny smile I agree. I’m trying not to eat pork that much but I can never say no to bacon. That’s definitely one of my weaknesses!

Sunking. I usually only watch the last day but it was so intriquing last night, hope to see it thru to the end now. Paul Laurie was in with a small chance at the end of play yesterday so will put my support behind him since he is Scottish. Have always been a fan of Mickelson and was thrilled when he won a couple of years ago so will be pleased if he wins tho. After that im not really fussed, just hoping for a tight finish, which it should be.
The following people thank meanmistermustard for this post:

Yes I don’t mind the heat either.. but when it’s scorching it’s just terrible. Like now.. It rained a lot this morning and now the sun is out.. and you can see the steam going up. You will never see here a sauna.. no need of those for making your body sweat. 
Here comes the sun….. Scoobie-doobie……

Not really. Major Leagues Baseball season has started and my father loves to watch the games… so it’s baseball at home now.
Hockey playoffs starting in 4 days here, so that’ll keep me enthralled for the next two months. Go Toronto Maple Leafs…in 2017!

Offline I did – as an Ottawa Sens fan, I’m seeing your still floundering Leafs refusing to blow up the roster as great – no more playoffs till you do!! So, are you going to cheer for Ottawa, or cheer against a Canadian team?

Just watched the first part of the Queen documentary Days Our Lives and it came across as Freddie, Brian, Roger, oh and the bass player John Deacon. His joining the band got about 5 seconds and is next mentioned when he composed Another One Bites The Dust for The Game album and went to number 1 in the US. I get Freddie was so charasmatic and is a true legend and that Roger and Brian are the ones who keep Queen active (John having retired and became somewhat of a recluse certainly from the public eye) but John deserves more notice than fleeting glimpses in clips. All 4 played their part in the band throughout.
Also cool to see that Kenny Everett was the one who got Bohemian Rhapsody on the airwaves after stealing a copy of the song and playing it obsessively on his show. Kenny of course was great friends with the Beatles, they would appear often on his radio shows, he edited their last 2 christmas records, and also would ‘borrow’ acetates of beatle songs and make copies of them for his own pleasure.
A very funny man Kenny was as evidenced by his tv show.

Offline Yeah, I used to see his old Video Show on syndication in the early ’80s and it was pretty funny indeed! Mostly liked the skits and the sci-fi cartoon; never cared much about the videos themselves ’cause I wasn’t much interested in relatively current music at the time. I know there’s lots of Youtubes of his stuff. Electric Meat! Sid Snot! lol
As for John Deacon, typical lack of respect for the bass player. He wrote some great funky thangs.
So, are you going to cheer for Ottawa, or cheer against a Canadian team?
Oh, I’ll always support the Canadian teams as long as they’re still in the running. Go Sens! LOVE to see them beat New York, John Tortorella is such a whining douche! My default American team to root for is Detroit due to geography, but they’ve been so successful for so long I kinda don’t need to see them win any more. Besides, ANYBODY can support a winning team – rooting for losers like the Maple Laffs is the real test!
I do like Vancouver’s chances to win it all. Sure, they were embarrassed last year (right before the city of Vancouver embarrassed themselves even worse), but remember how Boston humiliated themselves big time the year before that, only to emerge triumphant the following year? Strange things happen in the playoffs!

Good to see you put country before team – as I’d do for the Leafs (fortunately, I’ve never been in that situation since the lockout), but I think we can beat New York easy. Anderson plays well against the Rangers, and we’ve beat them three times out of 4 (3-0 and 4-1 among recent scores), but I’m just glad we avoided Boston. I say Vancouver vs Pittsburgh in the Final. You?

Offline Not gonna make any predictions ’cause mine are guaranteed to be either useless or counterproductive, but a Pittsburgh-Vancouver final sounds as good as any to me! Aside from that, there’s certain teams that I always have a hate-on for, particularly New Jersey and St. Louis.

Offline About the female Beatles thing, I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t have been as popular. I mean, in the early days, what girl did not fantasise over them? People probably woudn’t have even paid attention to them because it’s usually the GIRLS that prove what music is good. I mean, I am completely sure Justin Bieber would not be popular if he were a girl (but are we so sure he isn’t one?)!

Offline Well I just finished my Beatles collection! Bought the last few albums I haven’t heard from them yet since I became a fan back in…..07 I think. Abbey Road was the first and Please Please Me is the last hahaha. I was trying to take time out and enjoy each album and imagined that The Beatles were ‘new’ so I always had new music to look forward to. I also bought Past Masters , Love, and I got the Remastered Sgt Pepper since I bought the other version back in 06 as well. Kind of excited but bummed that after tonight (or whenever I listen to them….may put it off) I won’t hear anymore ‘new’ Beatles songs (well except a few of the songs on the Anthologies)

I sometimes like Queen, sometimes find them very annoying, but I agree with you about John Deacon, Queen’s very own “Dark Horse ” and a very good bassist.

Offline I do agree with you Ben. On top of their game Queen really were fantastic, miles better to many if not most bands who are in the same ladder rung that is popular music. However they did put out some unbelievably dreadful material at times and i dont just mean the Hot Space album.
And in part 2 of Queen: Days Of Our Lives John Deacon was again pretty much overlooked. A few mentions and 1 short interview clip.

I just find they can be very pretentious and sometimes really silly, although all very talented musicians and songwriters (rather like the Beatles now that I think about it… but obviously nowhere near as good 
) Freddie has in my opinion one of the most incredible voices in rock, behind Macca and a couple of others I think are very impressive.

Offline Freddie has to be up there as being one if not the best musician on stage ever to get an audience involved and bring it all together, certainly from the footage that is available to see. His onstage presence was incredible. It wasnt just singing alone, he could have over 200,000 people eating out of his hand and could work them all effortlessly.
Queen have openly stated they could take themselves incredibly seriously and not all all seriously in the same moment – a cataclysmic collision of ego. I love Seaside Rendezvous and Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon which are quite simply piss-takes (forgive my language). The joy of having them come on randomly in a playlist and folks wondering “what the heck is that?” is priceless. Yes sometimes it gets too much but when it comes of it is wonderful music.

OK, help me out people. I remember seeing a photo of one of The Beatles stage shows (a Christmas one?), or TV appearance, in which they held up daft signs – I think Ringo might have been the butt of the joke. 1964/5 ish.
Can anyone tell me what the hell this event was, or find one of the pics for me? Sorry for vagueness – I can see the pic in my mind’s eye, but a Google Images search isn’t getting me very far.

Offline Only thing that comes to mind was the one where they hold up cards which say something like Get Off You Nit. Was that to/with Bruce Forsyth on the Palladium show? Anyway that was ’63 so too early but here is a pic 
They were on that Bernie Winters show (Blackpool Night Out) and Ringos on an operation table, that was in 1964, tho i dont think that had any cards on it.
