There are none as blind, as those who do not want to see, and, there are none as stupid as they who forget to remove the lense protectors from their binoculars before peering through them.
Where there is no Lense, there is no Peering.
I’m too excited!
Spitty is back.
we’re all adults aren’t we - some shower twice a week and others weakly?
have you caught up with all the threads since you’ve been away?
and just to bring us all together in lerve? and a new training week for Jem and Pugsie on embedding images in your thread [ god sounds painful don’t it so]
starts off as a strong blues style with zingin guitars but then gets more screamy and moves into hard rock I think?
I initially thought Jack White was screaming for love from a wo man but if you follow the video carefully he has selected a fascinating kaelidoscope of love across the world - group hug perhaps???
and an aside for Pugsie and Spittie - your views on the guitar styles and worthiness would be appreciated [well at least by me!]
Not sure where it sits as a genre Gummy but, it is a refreshing track as a single entendre.
BTW, the Guitar is firmly embedded.
I’m glad he embedded his guitar wouldn’t want it to be wobbling about all over the place. there is an interesting bio video about his career on youtube. he goes back a long way and cuts his own cd’s and vinyl records in his workshops. has his own music business. one of his claims to fame is that he wrote-played- and cut a song ready for sale with printed cover in 3hrs - selling it outside his workshop.
ps: he doesn’t think apple computers are worth anything!!
You mean you snuck off and got digitally enhanced without telling us !
One of our aircraft was missing
We thought it was in enemy hands
The pilot kept us all gissing
Then back on a thread he lands.
Nice to hear from you Spitty me lad, what’s this going AWOL without filling in form 634? I’ll overlook it this once.:-)
The space thing is in the news again.
Heading for Mars are we now, they may as well dream on their feet as in bed.
The reason they haven’t colonised Mars yet Pug (besides running out of little green guys to show them the ropes) is because they haven’t been able to put a station on the moon yet never mind a colony. do you not find it strange that they haven’t sent a human outside orbiting distance in nearly 50 years?
I don’t believe they ever went to the moon in the first place, at a time when they were being left way behind in the space race and at the height of the cold war, something spectacular had to be pulled from the hat and quickly, enter a good Hollywood director. (See the controversial film “Capricorn One”)
I was in my prime then and remember those tense times well, why should I believe they landed there just because it was on TV and 70% of the world population believes it now? 30% is a minority I know but it is a big minority of which I’m one of. On TV I saw horrible shaky grainy black white and grey pictures, sure they hadn’t even got TV right back then.
We wos all conned big time man, wasn’t the first time the masses were fooled for political reasons and it won’t be the last, and it’s becoming more obvious as the years go by. I say open up a completely independent inquiry now before everyone associated with the whole con job is dead, but maybe that’s what they want to happen, too many old heads would go a rollin’ and dead men tell no tales. I’m not and never have been a Moony, although I had a few pints in Mooney’s of Parnell Street once.
And now who remembers Rosemary Clooney?
The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see
For the moon refused to shine
Couple sitting underneath the willow tree
For love, they pined
Little May was kinda ‘fraid of darkness
So she says “I guess I’ll go.”
Boy began to sigh, looked up to the sky
Told the sky his little tale of woe
So shine on
Shine on harvest moon
Up in the sky
I ain’t had no lovin’ since January, February, June or July.
Jem get on the black stuff more regularly and you will see things more clearly
can you explain why the yanks would want to pretend about moon landings - what reason for all this - what are they achieving with it? and now mars - I suppose they will be looking for mars bars heh - gold mars bars!
and I suppose you also believe that the yanks also brought down the twin towers just to get the ME into trouble!
Jem you should listen to ya wifes advice and instructions more often - it will stop these bad dreams!!
On this here moon landing controversy, well some brag about what they have or haven’t done done and thankfully some keep quiet…very, very quiet .
I haven’t missed anything then while I’ve been away with Spitfire, other than Solo excellent appraisal of Gregory Peck.
One can only work with interesting scribbles Robert for which I always thank you for . 
Well them wos me thoughts on the moon and I always speak me mind Gummy, mad I my be but an honest madman surely, time tells all, sorry I won’t call you shirley again.
Nothing wrong with Irishmen going to the moon Solo, it’s only natural seeing that Adam and Eve were Irish, when he saw her first he said “O’Hare!” and she said back “O’Toole!”
I’ll be trotting off now with my dearly beloved wife and three of her sisters for a pint or two, blessed art thou amongst women as the wife says by way of consolation when I’m burdened with the lot of them. We have music tonight in the local, the Hills family, comprising of a fiddler, a guitar, a banjo, and flute player, they call themselves “The Hills of Clare” I believe they are very good, looking forward to hearing them, see yis all tomorrow.
Just read back, Pugsy, you need to stop meddling with your equipment, just accept it. The trouble with puter stuff is, it’s a bit Human, it goes up the wall from time to time, you send it to an exspert to change this and that, and reformat the other, with the final assurance “it’s clean”, but from the first press of the power button, you sense something is not as it was, see, just resist the impulses, and get on with it.
Indeed not Jem. Sometime you read something which catches the ole funny bone unexpected like and this was one of those times which made you burst out laughing. Ta for that.
Whilst talking of Adam and Eve there seems to be a craze for Baring all at the moment despite the bitter cold. Men and women are stripping off willy nilly on TV (with repeats of course) and a nudist beach is opening at Hawks Cliff in Dalkey nr Dublin.
There will be some spinning in their graves over that one.
Of course men landed successfully on the moon. Have you never seen the documentary called Mouse on the Moon?
thank god someone else is giving him some sound advice - now pugsy weZ know the way of the world and how to fix puters - you are trying to build a feckin battleship!
I’d say there’ll be some quare sights to be seen in Dalkey come the warm weather Solo, maybe they should change the name of Hawks Cliff to Wrinkly Bottoms.
I used to take the wife out to Dalkey in the 60’s before we were married, nice friendly place back then, too many fat cats living there now.
Portmarnock was a good place to have a dip, but although Phyllis had bought a new bikini I could never coax her to get into it, she would just sit on the beach and I’d have to go swimming on me own, very shy the girls were back then.
I remember that film Fruity, good laugh. Bernard Cribbins was in it, we had a barman in the local back in the seventies and he never stopped talking about his first cousin-Bernard Cribbins, now don’t take me up wrong I love Cribbins in films, but you’d think he was a multi oscar winner the way this fella boasted about him being his cousin.
You never hear me saying, nor you never will, that Bono is my first cousin, not a lot of people know that, thank God.;-)
funny name that Jem for an Oirish man ;Bono - how many other cousins have you with doggy names? and what about his mate Sir Bob get em off Geldoph - now there’s a funny name for an Oirish mon. I watched a doco recently about him moanin and groanin about all the traumas in his life and him just a poor man tryin to help all those children in Africa.
He prevented his former wife Paula from takin the kids to OZ for xmas to meet up with her new lover - lead singer of INXS - MIchael Hutchence - another pathos figured man. this resulted indirectly in his death as it was claimed he was attempting to have a sexual relationship with Paula who wasn’t there by hangin himself on the back of the hotel room door and having an auto- erotic experience. His father lived just around the corner by the bye but he couldn’t be bothered spending xmas with him so died in a hotel room - poor bastard! - following that Paula killed herself with drugs and grandpop Bob was left lookin after all the kids - which is probably what he wanted in the first place! what comes round goes round heh?
nb: spittie ; pugsie - some comments on geldophs guitar playin skills may be useful here?
Yep, there’s been some unfortunate Oirish notable Rock Folks who, pushed it too far, what about Phil Lino, what a smashing chap, apart from his regrettable comment retained on Vinyl, on the Live and Dangerous LP.
Lets hope there are no Irish Ladies in tonight.
