Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

Saw this the other day. Thought good on you

 

Not real, unfortunately.

 

Wahooooo Foo Fighters confirmed for Glastonbury

 

It was all set up.

 

I can't distinguish between real news or fake news

 

This was in the 1990s - if this isn't a lesson against nationalism I don't know what is. 100s of thousands of lives ruined. If politics continues as it is in Europe, it will be millions.

 

As much as I think he is a prick, sometimes, just sometimes things are not all they seem.

 

A woman would just get a divorce.....

 

I assumed that his partner was a bit of a nutter [he's obviously slightly unhinged himself] and he was frightened of her. The end scenario sorts that out nicely.

 

I don't like to bang on about the Balkans but I've lived here since 2004 (so I will say this only once). As a fore runner of the EU, Yugoslavia was formed after WWI, eventually combining Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia, Montenegro and Macedonia. A Yugoslav Passport was recognised throughout the world (like an EU passport). Not to mention Yugoslav sports teams were winning European and world titles. Why the countries all decided to break up in the 90s, who knows, just like Brexit, France, Holland, Italy etc. Recent history does not bode well.

Do you mean the gospel song by Nina Simone....or has the line been used in a more modern song.

There is a song going around at the moment ( new ) and it has that lyric in it , or similar .

 

Take Me To The River? That's all I've got.

 

Bruce Springsteen gets a kid out of the audience to play along with him:

Vin

 

Nope . But thanks for trying

 

Springsteen & the E Street band are the ultimate entertainers .

Seen them 4 times now . Jake does his uncle proud

 

Watched the first episode of SSGB on iPlayer, I read there have been complaints about sound quality and mumbling. I must say I'm inclined to agree, it was at times difficult to understand what was being said.
The main issue was the lead actor speaking with a gruff whisper. In fact the German speakers, with a much more direct style, were far clearer.
I've noticed it in Taboo and other recent BBC dramas, the lead actor often is a brooding anti-hero trying to deliver their lines with a certain gravitas, I get that, but don't sacrifice clarity for delivery!
