We're Doomed!

Gas have just got a last minute winner over City at the UWE Stadium - Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh shi# it was a dream, now back in a place the world has never been to before. I have been and got a sunday paper, its more doom and gloom.

You only have to go back a week or so and life seemed almost normal, take last saturday afternoon me and the toteend4 went into town for a birthday session, i tried to avoid handshakes etc , and offered up my elbow - no chance it was handshakes all round , and one dirty bu##er even licked my hand! The pubs were full of hen parties and we had a right old 'knee's up' even the football was predictable with the Gas losing to bottom of the table team at Southend.

Walking the streets today there is a palpable sense of fear in the air - where am I going with this? I don't know - i guess what iam am trying to say is, as none of us had to fight in WW2 This is our chance to show courage and leadership, for the sake off all our family and friends.

So Stay Strong Stay Safe we all have to get through this! UTG / SSSS

It certainly is. Real music unlike the pop group they were to morph into. Only just picked it up a couple of weeks ago from Spillers in Cardiff. Just 47 years late. I think at that time I was into the Rock'n'Booze of Free, Family & The Faces.

Bloody hell!
Some names there!
Top groupie..

the difference between then and now is how SOME ARE SO FORKING SELFISH and leaving others to struggle to find stuff that SHOULD be readily available .... awkward times ahead but the need to be a bit more thoughtful is also required,,, ...... now is it the Altered Images rendition i need to sing? 

Think it could well make us all think twice bout globe trotting like we've all got use to doing most holidays, perhaps the likes of Minehead, the Gower coast and the Devon Rivera etc will start to look attractive again to Bristolians. I certainly won't be planning any cruises in the future!

Perhaps CV will do more for cutting global warming than Greta could ever hope to achieve. In fact will the likes of BA and Virgin Airlines even survive CV themselves.

I spent 2 weeks quarantined in Cheddar on a caravan campsite. I was quarantined by my company after returning from the far east at the outbreak of the first Sar's virus back in 2002, self-isolation and the boredom is something you never forget.

I am 40 mins from Toayuan International Airport here in Taiwan and close to the flightpath, I did exactly the same as you, no sound, no planes at all, silence.

I suspect time and British war films (which I love btw)  made after the event have given many of us a romantic notion that we were 'all in it together' back then, when it is much more likely that there were just as many selfish people as there are today. My mum, who was a teenager during the war years used to do talks at local schools about what life was like then and to be fair she often mentioned the 'war spirit' and that she looked back on those times fondly (probably like anyone looking back on their teenage years would)  yet my dad,  who served throughout the entirety of the war, told a very different story on the very  few occasions he talked about it.
I think in any times of crisis, you will see the best and worst in people.

When I saw T-Rex play it was at a 3 day and 3 night Festival in Weeley 1971, that attracted 110,000 people at a cost of £1.50 entry fee. The band playing when I arrived were Mungo Jerry singing 'in the summertime'. Absolutely awesome line up (worth goggling )

The reason T-Rex were disliked by 'real rock connoisseurs' was because they considered 'pretty boy'  Marc Bolan had let the rock community down by appearing on 'top of the Pops I seem to recollect they only sung three songs then left the stage due to verbal abuse and  bottles being thrown.  Mad!
