Arts and Entertainment / Re: Great cover versions

Hope this hasn't been posted. It has been around since ... well before this site! 1994 to be precise.

A super-group I wish had stayed together (even though I didn't know they'd existed):

(favourite comment: "I still have an entire E180 VHS tape I kept solely for this." )

I am so confused by that.
Obviously better than the Stone's version, but that doesn't really need saying.

The truth is much less important than what you can make people hear.

I will be doing a significant amount of weeding later, but this morning I took a moment to admire one of our wisteriaa. It's about 5 years old, and has vever before hinted at flowering. This was it this morning.

The Pub / Re: A random thread for small things that don't really warrant a thread of their own

Dr Beardy has gone into town this morning to meet her coauthor for a day of word wrangling. She reports that the town is positively rammed and the place is jumping. She literally had to push her way onto the train because it was so busy.

Apparently it’s becasue the local sportball team are playing at home and apparently they are in high hopes it will be the last match they have to play this season.

Go tractorboys.
