Re: Musicians who never became mediocre

Joan Baez.
She has been going from the late 1950's and is still sounding good at 77.
Whilst folky type stuff has never been my thing, her voice is nothing less than wonderful and her rendition of 'Sweet Chariot' at Woodstock was better than anything Twickenham could ever serve up

iarmhiman, not sure if you are aware or not, but it's possible to get full unrestricted access to the Euro on this site - https://weather.us/

How Kachelmann has managed to do it I'm not sure, as this normally costs in the region of 200,000 euros

Re: Car Issue

Were the waterpump and rollers also changed? If not then they should have been, particularly on a leggy engine as the waterpump seizing will take the timing belt out.
Also worth checking if an oe belt was fitted rather than an ebay special

Re: Since when did "Penalty Advantage" mean "Free Play"?

I always find it very frustrating that the team with the penalty advantage can go through multiple phases, often ending up on the opposite side of the pitch, only to be marched back to the other side for a kick. I'd like to see a max of three phases and that's your lot, either blow up for the origin...

Atlantic low due in Fri/Sat. The Euro has the strongest winds progged for the southern side of the storm, so Ireland 'should' escape the worst. Likely to get pretty breezy in southern/central England though
