There was a programme on telly tonight about all the old music from the 70's.   

I didn't think I would enjoy it,  but surprisingly,  I did, it was full of memories of my younger days.
It was good to  see and hear all the old stars of yesteryear again, who  most of us probably grew up with.   
Proper songs, with nice words, and a lot of love songs.

Who remembers some of these people:

A very young Mick Jagger,  Rod Stewart,  Paul McCartney, a young Elton John,  Leo Sayer, Brotherhood of Man,  ShowWaddyWaddy, The Walker Brothers,  Demis Roussos, The Four Seasons,  Dolly Parton,  Johnny Mathis -   (still alive and 91 now),   and many more lovely old song and faces.


Can you remember what you were up to 50 years ago,  in 1976?   

Every day Bert had more aches and pains
Hair falling out and varicose veins
Of course he had the warmest heart
Was that the most interesting  part?! 
Eve thought he was going insane!



Fish & Chips every Friday night
It was nearly all batter, but tasted alright
Mable & Bill were always first
After having a beer to quench their thirst

A man got into the Tiger enclosure at a Zoo hear Doncaster today.
He was then attacked,  and air lifted to hospital, where he died.

I can only think perhaps he was deeply depressed, and wanted to end it maybe?   
Awful, isn't it.

Just looked it up Mups.  Seems that 25-30% die of natural causes, suicide or other non punishment related incidents (I guess that mean accidents or fights or attacks 🤷🏻�♂️)

Quote from: morty on October 10, 2026, 05:19:54 PMI never fail to be amazed how long inmates are left on Death row.

I fully agree, Morty.

Quote from: Dextrous63 on October 10, 2026, 05:47:26 PMI wonder how many die while waiting to be killed. 

Good question, Dex.  

No problems JB.  Am surprised they operated on the same day.  When I broke my wrist, I had to wear a plaster for a week to let the swelling go down before having the op.

The consultant who looked after me was an Iranian woman.  She told me not to worry as she wasn't going to blow me up 🤣🤣

Far be it from me to offer advice, but I strongly suggest that, when it gets to that stage, Marge takes pain killers an hour or so before her physio appointments.  They're monsters, those people!!!

No it doesn't .
Those countries kill and torture innocents .
This man is a serial murderer .
One of the 13 people he killed was a pregnant woman 
He also injured 32 other people 

Quote from: Ruthio on October 10, 2026, 04:46:08 PMI'm not making excuses for what she did, but I wonder how many bother to know this about her life...

Quite a lot I would say seeing as it has been reported all over the place .
Lots of people have sad lives and abusive childhoods .
They don't however all go on to be sadistic murderers .

Red alerts popping up up on my phone, for those who are interested.
Remember if you can't see it, look through your phones camera lens, it can see what the naked eye can't. On Night Mode.

Yes, an operation was performed after she was admitted to the hospital.  We both saw the X-ray which was done upon her arrival at the hospital and, apart from the damage, the ulna was moved out of position.  The operation was performed that same day.
We're hoping that when she next attends next Friday, we'll get to see another X-ray which will hopefully confirm correct placement of everything, including two metal plates which were inserted during the operation and which we have not yet seen.
Thanks for your good wishes, Dex.
