    Yeah, right!.....Hole...dig....I'll stop now before I hit gas and be banned for frakking (is that Frak and feldegarb as in Battlestar Gallatica?)

    Got to go, so I can get comfortable to watch the game...make sure the beer is chilled and the half time sandwiches are ready.....and make sure there's a pillow handy to hide behind when the game goes pear shaped (thought I'd get some form of gardening reference in) - just heard that Mr Harry Hotspur isn't even in the travelling squad...Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
    But on the bright side The Obvious Child is playing (a Paul Simon reference)..... Sing along...Had a little son and thought we'd call him Sonny.... Who'd deny the obvious child... (or something like that).

    You mean you're not listening to Johnnie Walker @steveTu? Tut tut  ;)

    Then he called him Harper. Not much of an improvement.... ;)

    [I assume he's not talking about his own child, of course....]

    😵totally lost the plot here. Happy to wait until something comes along that I can understand.
    I suspect you're all talking about sport, so please don't explain😊

    I wasn't @B3 - but we got sidetracked by @steveTu [who is talking footie] into a small Paul Simon tangent.... ;)

    I understand Paul Simon . Tangent welcome. Despite Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes earworm. But carry on about sport, if you wish. I'm willing to wait for a while😊

     :D 

    I hated that album. It put me off Paul Simon.  
    I can hear the explosions of outrage - even all the way up here..... ;)

    One or two tracks were ok, but I know what you mean.

    Massive ego trip IMO.  :)

    Much of the story of Simon and Garfunkel hangs on massive egos, though, doesn't it? But they did make some amazing music, both together and separately, although I generally prefer the older stuff they did together.

    Lots of really great musicians are not people I'd ever want to meet, but it doesn't stop me enjoying the songs. I bet Mozart was really annoying, too, I don't think it's a modern phenomenon.
