Ann Wilson has put a few years ( and a few pounds ! ) on but she can still belt it out.

Heart - Magic Man

Here’s another one from another rockin’ lady !!

Haim- Oh well

Orianthi - Pride and Joy

400 baht !!
I guess the taxi driver figured he’d robbed him once already !!

7 max on a scooter ?
7 max in back of pickup ?
7 days to appear at cop shop after a hit and run ?

One of my earliest “ musical “ memories:
This song had taken the country by storm and I arrived at school to find 3 or 4 of my friends sitting on the wall belting out the chorus, I joined in and so did about 20 other kids .
Seems like a bit of a “ Glee “ moment [emoji23] but just one of my happiest childhood memories , I was 10 at the time.

I nominate

Sheryl ( for her medical services )
Ron19 ( for his services to many areas )
richard_smith237 ( for his intelligent and eloquent posts)

Not sure if any of these have been POTY before ?

Guys and gals I am a newby (looks as though I can't even spell newbie, damned Americans , oops not again :-) )  at this , in case any of you hadn't been able to tell . I don't know if I am supposed to close the thread or even how to . I would just like to say I enjoyed reading all the posts and am grateful for the smiles, laughs, shared experiences and advice. Some of which I may even follow , if I can remember , which , these days seems unlikely . Have a wonderful day to yous all  , gotta go and bake these auld bones in the sunshine . 

EDIT:

I posted the wrong song a couple of posts ago ( #15477 ), not that anyone noticed or even cares ☹️

That was Crazy City

This is Summer Soldier

Girls night in !
Got the Starbucks, got the snacks, romantic comedy on the tv, kids in the cage.....wait ? ..what!

Stop taking selfies and give that dog some water !!

V is for victory !!
But also for vomit ?

Nothing to see here just a regular news reader.......
with a bad choice of neckline !!

Nice bit of road rash there buddy !!

But maybe you should check there’s no mirrors behind you before you take a selfie !!

Good to see kids paying attention in class, they’ve got their pens , notepads ,laptops ....................
wait..... . is that a dog !!

Happy Birthday Ody

As a newbie recipient of a pushbike ( sorry, bicycle ! ) i can understand your reasoning for not riding in the gutter !

My cycling is done on quiet roads and some beautiful concrete roads between the rice paddies , but to get there I have to ride through some residential areas where it’s a case of “ if the dogs don’t get you then the locals will !! “. I’m not talking soi dogs either !, nearly everyone in my neighbourhood seems to have a dog and it appears most of them don’t want a lapdog they want some snarling rabid wolflike animal to protect their property !!

I suppose i’m going a little off topic here but what i am trying to say is that I didn’t realise how far down the food chain cyclists were until I got on my bike . I like to have a ride out early before it’s too hot and then again just as it’s cooling off which is the same times as Somchai has realised he’s late for work ( or keen to get to the bar ) , jumps in the pickup and guns it down the soi. !! I don’t think I could risk the Pattaya , or Jomtien, traffic.

Keep your cool and stay safe out there .

A spin off from Barclay James Harvest was a group called The Enid , here they are with a beautiful version of BJH’s most memorable song.

The Enid with CBSO ( City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra ) - Mockingbird

Another classic album from my youth came to mind. Barclay James Harvest - Live , 1974 I think, anyway a great album which confirmed my suspicions that i was indeed a prog rock fan.

BJH - Summer Soldier

Couldn’t let the Deep Purple set finish without including this one.
I wore Made in Japan out on the old mono record player my granddad gave me !!

Strange kinda woman .

And here they are a few years older but still got it !!

Another group from my youth who went from strength to strength !

Excellent musicians with a wide range of music .

Crickey, Andrew, you forgot to include the song.  LOL  No drama . . . 
 
OK, technically this is a 1996 live recording but, hey, it's awesome.
