(1720) Evening all. About an hour and a half ago, I was taken quite ill, left door and window open, poisoned air, really bad, nearly passed out, sick in the gut. Just overcoming it now. Tomorrow will be a knitting demonstration in the first slot after 1 to 5.
25. Bill is going to be in more detail tomorrow
24. Rolf at Now and Next on War and the Big Picture
“As we skitter towards another Continental war that may finally see the end of our country let us look back to the start of our ruin. If enough can understand what 1914 cost us then perhaps we can turn back, even now.
There are over 100,000 war memorials in the UK erected in memory of our soldiers killed in WWI. They were paid for by local communities not by the Government.
Each name on the stone cross is someone who might otherwise have lived a humble and productive everyday life. Moreover, someone who was fit enough to fight, which in some places put them in a minority: AI says we discovered how Britain had been failing the people at the call-up for the Second Boer War (1899–1902)….”
23. DAD on Reform blaming Restore
22. Steve on Brit dithering about Yurrup
“Every generation rewrites history: so runs the common truism. We are having to do it rather more quickly nowadays. Of course, history does not have to be rewritten from scratch: it is there in often exhaustive detail, digested in Official Histories, and beyond rational dispute. But what does need constant rewriting is our understanding of those plain facts: we joined, we voted to stay, we voted again to leave, we left. Our whole relationship with ‘Europe’ has been throughout marked by three things: ‘declinism’, deception (including self-deception), and fear.”
21. Andy opens proceedings
Bonzo Dog Doo- Dah Band!!!! 🤭😆🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just what this girl needed! It was fab-a-lous! fab-a-lous! Abbb sew lootely …. fab-a-lous !
What is there ‘bout Bill Bailey that is so great?
It can be sung in a classic bluesy rendition, or you can fun it up — well, not everyone can fun it up quite like those zaney, kooky Brits, I say! 😉
The words are just the best! There she is just a’pining away for her naughty man….‘I’ll do the cooking’ honey, I’ll pay the rent..’…one rainy evening I sent you out with nothin’ but a fine tooth comb..’
The fine tooth comb line is one of the greatest lines in a pinning away song I ever did hear! Love it! 🥰
The insertion of Hold That 🐅, as well as the spoon solo, were such fun surprises.
Twas a jolly good time watching them have a jolly good time!
We have been working since early this morning on a project. If the BDD-D Band could have only seen and heard us dancing and prancing around singing Bill Bailey they might have offered us places in their cwazy band, alright !
Andy, is so good at presenting a bit of fun and comic relief! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
