    I’ve listened to some of their stuff ( and posted a few on this thread ).
    They are pretty good IMO but have a reputation of ripping off Led Zep !! ( especially the singer )
    If they can produce some material with their own trademark sounds then they will go far they certainly have the talent .

    I'm calling the noise abatement society.

    My love affair with Frau Merkel is over; this is the way forward

    THIS is what the UK should be doing. Concentrate on "home". Tha' knows; Churches with lychgates, open fires, fish 'n' chips, bonfire night, Easter, Witsun, The Lake District, Pennine Way, AND PUBS! 

     

    Enough of the loutish, yobbish behavior. Concentrate on what's important! Aright?

     

    Sorry Mutti, es tut Mir leid ?

    Aye up lad. support the UK

    I couldn't find a link so I did listen to some of their stuff on YouTube, and I suppose I was a bit like you with regards to their output.
     
    For me it's a bit like some of the music from AC/DC, as I can't listen to someone screaming out words with a cacophony of heavy metal sound in the background. Also IMO there's a difference between singing, and screaming/shouting and some bands don't seem to have mastered the art.
     
    I like rock music, however I like rock music that I can listen to, not that which assaults my ears and sensibilities.
     
    However everyone to their own and that's what makes music so interesting I suppose.

    Well said! I was expecting some good insults, disappointing in a way.

    :sad:

    I'm still convinced Brexit dies a little every day ( much like it's supporters) .

     

    How it will end I don't know - maybe it's going to be like the end of the Lord of the Rings. The gestalt entity of Boris, Rees-Mogg, Davis and Fox etc. will plunge into the flames all the while clutching their Brexit prize. Even while gazing lovingly at it and gleefully shouting "Brexit, Brexit!" they will be consumed by the flames.
     

    tebee or not tebee?  I expect you're half right or half wrong..but its 4:30 am

    get some zzzs in!

    Should Nicola Sturgeon not be going with Liam Fax to the USA and Canada.

     

    In the USA, he will visit Starbucks and will meet representatives from Scottish whisky distillers, Balvenie as both companies continue to export across the globe.

     

    After all he is meeting with representatives from one of Scotland's biggest exports and I don't mean Starbucks.

    I think I'll go too!

    I wouldn't mind seeing a retrenchment of the EU. A last redoubt against an increasingly nasty, dangerous world. Dump all the Eastern Europeans and Southern Europeans including Spain which is just a U.K. Suburb. The Austrians can decide what they want. Keep the Czech Republic. Dump Ireland, keep the Scandinavians. Get rid of the Muslims and if Israel doesn't behave the other lot can go also.

     

    Right now the world is a nastier and more dangerous place than it has ever been in my lifetime. Nationalism and Popularism and Celebrity. Bring on Armageddon; after I've finished my beer.

    Wow, I didn't know you could be so radical, I'm impressed.

    While your in the mood, how about dumping the whole EU.

    Then sort out an honest UK gov for us.

    After afternoon tea please.

    Hey Joe - what a melody and chord sequence, it sounds wonderful on either acoustic or electric guitar. 

    Jimi took it out into the stratosphere but other musicians still on this planet have left their own versions for us fellow earthlings.

    To be honest, I was not expecting much when I started playing this.

    But Damn!!..That was what fine music is about,  Sheer brilliance.

    and the lady on the violin was Lucifer incarnate.  High end concert

    performance!

    This is a New Holland 7740 not far from where I am. Photos taken today. I had noticed it a long time ago but I had never been interested to see how many spool valves it had. I'm not sure if it has 2 or 3? Perhaps someone can tell us.

     

    Pity it's lacking an engine.

     

    The tyres look better than the ones on Talahtnut's flood stricken Ford in Oz.

     

    I bet the previous owners never thought their tractor would end up in Laos. I will try to make contact with them via Ernest Doe & Sons (name on the bottom of the number plate). 

     

    I wonder what it would take to get it working again? I guess it would be better to start off with a complete tractor rather than half of one.

    Ernest Doe is Essex UK...Good idea mate, you could buy a new engine,

    and you have a virtually new 4wd tractor.  R year 97/98
