owl sees all

What about castration? That would calm him.

Women should be in the kitchen. And when they re not there, they should be concentrating on improving their knitting skills.

The Don would seem to be America's last hope. Could be that for the rest of the western world also. Another 4 years of the dems would surely see us plunge into WW111

What about Thaksin and Red Bull man sharing a cell?

It is Ashton-under-Lyne - Not Ashton-under-Lyme as I spelt it. What a silly-billy. Simply must do better.

Great question Champs. I didn't know, and had to look it up. Surprised to see there were three World Cup winners. Quote from https://www.artuk.org '''Sir Geoff Hurst, who bagged a hat-trick in the 1966 World Cup win over West Germany at Wembley, was born in Ashton in 1941 and spent his early years living in neighbouring Denton before his family moved to Essex. Jimmy Armfield OBE, a former Blackpool star, who was a substitute in the same game, was also born and raised in Denton and was captain of the England side before Bobby Moore. Simone Perrotta, being the third Tamesider to lift the famous trophy with Italy in 2006. The star was born in Ashton in 1977 to Italian parents and spent five years there attending the old St Ann’s Primary School on Burlington Street.'''

Bit slim for my taste. I prefer Niniawan.

Yes! Yes, yes. Lots of well intended humour in that post. Like it!! I happen to know that 'Quackerz' are shortly to tour Latin America. I'm sure the experience will influence their coming recordings. Rio Grande and all that. I'll speak to Mr Duck (the lead quacker) and see if he will allow me to let loose some more gems on AN as they record them.

Maradona. Well yes he did knock in that goal with his hand. That was the hand of god though. Not Maradona this time. Much closer to home. In fact he scored a hat trick in the final of the World Cup, to see off the Germans 4-2. An English sporting hero. who also played first-class cricket for Essex County. Who was he? Sir Geoff Hurst of course. Born in Ashton-under-Lyme , Lancashire, in 1941 (82). Family moved to Chelmsford, Essex when he was 8. His father Charlie was also a professional footballer. Cricket played an important role in Geoff's sporting life early on. And even after a successful trial with the Irons, as a 17 year old, he continued to play regularly for the Essex Second XI. He made his first-class debut in a match for Essex against Lancashire in 1962. But that was indeed the peak.Two innings and zero runs in that game. At the end of that cricket season, he decided to concentrate more on football with West Ham, but played in the odd match for his county, before ditching cricket in 1964. The World Cup in 1966 was a famous occasion for English Football, and Geoff more than played his part. The punching incident came, two years later in 1968. The first, of his 6 goals, in a match on 19th October 1968, as Sunderland were humbled 8-0 at the Boleyn Ground, in East London, was the dodgy one. Hurst controversially admitted some time afterwards, that he punched his first goal into the net. When asked about his admission he replied. ''I don't feel guilty about it one bit. I've had plenty of good goals ruled out.'' Sir Geoff finished his England playing career in 1972, in the qualification stages for the 1972 European Championships, and again it was against West Germany, He was awarded 49 caps and scored 24 goals.

Enjoy. Try not to smile, quackerz fin.ogg

This is the first record from the Quackerz. Called; ''Ducks going quackerz.''

Very droll bro. But well intended. Quackers not Quakers.

Tell me Richard please. Have you ever heard of the Quackers? They are gonna be big. Not everyone knows all arms of music.

Thanks to 'Rewind Magazine'' for the following. '''If you could sum up pop culture in the 1970s in one image, it would be the sunny faces of the Partridge Family smiling out from their Day-Glo bus. Ironically, the fake band featured in the hit ABC television series had far more recording success than many real bands that hit the music scene at the same time. The Partridge Family came to dominate pop culture on both television and radio. In 1972, David Cassidy became the highest-paid live entertainer on the planet, with the highest likability rating on television, and Shirley Jones reigned as America’s grooviest TV mom.'''

Nor me.

(I like an) Atmosphere. Big world-wide hit for Russ. David Cassidy and the Partridge Family always seemed to be on TV a few years back.

I would always be worried about safety at these concerts. Lisa is a big pull. Thousands would willingly get crushed to get close. Thailand is not top of the pops in safety matters. Big death toll in BKK some years ago

True Richard. But could these youngsters say they have ever heard music from the 'greats' of out time. The Partridge Family, PG Proby or more recently, the best of British; Russ Abbot.

My mates went to see Black Pink at the O2 a couple of years back. They just love their moves. One of them (friend, not group member) was shouting so much he was hoarse at the end of the show.

Indeed! But has she ever been on Top Of The Pops. You ain't anyone til you have been there. Cher was over-rated. But she was on TOTP.

I thought that Black Pink Lisa and GOT7 Bam Bam were an item.

What about the gender fluid people? They change their genders all the time. There was a school girl in Brighton UK (or Hastings, can't quite recall) who identified as different animals. She especially liked being a cat. One teacher refused to call her 'Kitty', I think he was reprimanded. Although not suspended, because by the time his case came round, the girl had changed to be a goat. Don't know what loo she would have used.

Wow! 'Nancy boys!' Have not heard that for yonks. When we were teenagers that is the term we used to describe men that we didn't understand. Then that faded out and 'Wooly woofters,' or just 'woofters' came in. Now I'm wiser, I'm more appreciative of the way the world works and understand the different aspects of life. Another thing that has changed down the years, is that when we were young everyone believed that 'women were the life givers, and men were the life takers.' I don't believe that o be true anymore. If it ever was.

It's a tragedy! The man has so much influence and yet he goes on and on about nonsense. I'd like to see him get back to basics. Men are men. And women are women. Why does he not promotes the 'whack the ladies on the nut, and drag them back to the cave.' narrative. This equality <deleted> is ruining the human race. But! I do appreciate that it's not as simple as ABC. Firstly; we have to ensure the men can actually support the ladies. No good keeping them at home, or in the kitchen, or in the garden, if the guys can't bring home the bacon. Secondly; knitting!? The demise of knitting, and to a lesser degree embroidery, runs parallel with the downward spiral that we can all see. My message to Tate is ''Get a grip mate. Get back to basics.''
