He wants to give our army guns with no bullets . I would support him to Europe with a one way ticket . And dont start me on him not singing the national anthem .He wants to govern our country as long as its his ideas and not the countrys RANT over

Since when did the British national anthem have anything to do with the country or its needs. It is a song about a person and a family which I feel no connection to - along with many other Englishmen. I do not want her to 'reign over us' and will never sing it, or stand up for it, for that reason. All power to Corbyn for standing by his convictions and doing the same.

The man is a joke. How he can expect any support from a party that he constantly voted against is beyond belief. The parliamentary party is lumbered with him until they can find a way of dumping him. The country needs a credible opposition, and he is not the man to lead it.

The problem is that he represents the core of grass roots Labour more than any other leader for quite some considerable time and has always stood up for their beliefs against the parliamentary Labour Party - which he has not only a right to do, but also a mandate which is stronger than any other leader for generations.

I think we have had this discussion elsewhere Cologne, and this is not really the thread for it. Happy to continue it elsewhere. <ok>

Australian rock band AC/DC are postponing the rest of their US tour after singer Brian Johnson was warned he is going deaf.

The band posted a statement on their website saying doctors had advised Johnson to stop touring immediately or "risk total hearing loss".

They said they would likely perform with a guest vocalist in rescheduled shows later this year.

Johnson, 68, from Gateshead, has been lead singer with AC/DC since 1980.

The news is the latest in a series of setbacks for the band.

How loud is too loud?

Loudness of a sound is measured in decibels (dB). Exposure to noise at or above 85 dB can damage hearing. Loud music at clubs, gigs and festivals, and through personal music players, can cause damage to your hearing. The risk of damage is determined by how loud the music is, how long you are exposed to it.

Average decibel levels:

•60 dB - ordinary spoken conversation

•70 dB - city street

•100 dB - pneumatic drill

•100 dB - maximum volume on some MP3 players

•110 dB - night club

•115 dB - rock concert

•120 dB - aeroplane taking off

I am amazed that it has taken this long for Mr Johnson to realise this.
 
Being a rock vocalist has always been a dangerous profession, not just for the ears but also the throat. Ian Gillan, Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey, Ian Anderson and Johnny Van Zandt have all had to have throat operations at some time.

With the exception of Daltrey it serves them right for the damage inflicted on the earoles and memories of the planet <whistle>
