Totally off topic, although related I guess. I saw Andres Segovia many years ago at the Sydney Town Hall. No amplification. He filled the place with the most amazing, beautiful music.

How many of these "stars" could do that?

The only safe option is to assume that all telephone calls are scams. If a call arrives from somebody you know, okay, if it purports to come from a bank, or other institution, tell them you will call them back, ask for a name, ask for a number (but do not use it before verifying it). Some scammers a...

A bit more Grandad rock:

Cream - Disraeli Gears
Paul Simon - Here comes Rhymin' Simon
Gerry Rafferty - City to city
Eric Clapton - Slowhand
Don Henley - Building the perfect beast.
Don McLean - American Pie (maybe the greatest of its kind)

Apologies if any duplication.

Have to disagree with you on that Wambers, you’ve been inconvenienced, sure... but lockdowns haven’t hurt the economy in NZ or wider Australia at all with overall economic performance improving markedly. The cost of not locking down is potentially much greater and a look at the UK’s current situati...

To be picky, the House of Representatives impeaches, the Senate convicts. Or doesn't, as it will probably pan out. But he will wear the mantle of having been impeached twice, which is worth the trouble, I reckon.

0 new cases in QLD overnight. It would be extraordinary if there are no other cases sooner or later. Either that or extremely lucky. Here's hoping. The economic damage of these lockdowns is immense.

Don't worry, you'll manage. I broke some bones in my right wrist when I was volunteering in Tonga, and had to learn pretty quickly how to get by.

Hard evidence presented at the Georgia enquiry - 30,000 Trump votes removed, over 12000 others switched from Trump to Biden.
