I have two RsTBC today … I watched the most phenomenal tennis match … and now, yet again, R2 is playing another superb recording by The Divine Comedy … it says everything that My Way says, but with humility instead of arrogance https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0U8rzcXeN_0
We'll have to agree to disagree on The Divine Comedy. I usually change radio stations when their stuff is playing. Sorry.
No idea who or what Divine Comedy is but I have loathed My Way since I first heard it and change radio channel when it comes on. Can't stand New York either.
RTBC - tonight's Green Planet. Just amazing and even Possum has been interested.

My winter flowering clematis is covered in blossom, there's snowdrops open everywhere, beautiful plum/pink hellebores in bloom, crocuses, primroses, celandines and daffs appearing and the Daphne odora has buds on. Oh, and the hazel has lovely catkins.

I/we do the same … there is no similarity between the two other than the subject of the song … ‘mistakes’.
@Hostafan1 how can you resist the charms of ‘Norman and Norma’? A love story for our age.

@VictorMeldrew - I am married to Camel's original drummer! But I didn't like their music: Soft Machine are my favourites. Sorry - I've been reading back- this is in response to a post a few pages back!
Oh wow - Andy! He's the best - a brilliant drummer - and played on all my favourite Camel albums. But how could you not like their music, especially 'Lunar Sea' (which I believe was partly influenced by Soft Machine)?
I had assumed Camel were a thing of the past until I discovered the utterly brilliant DVD from their Royal Albert Hall show in 2018. I've watched it so many times, each time with tears in my eyes. Don't know whether you've seen it but their keyboard & sax player (& vocalist) - Pete Jones - is blind!
But yeah, I'm into Soft Machine too. Particularly the Karl Jenkins era - especially 'Softs'.
Clay soil - Cheshire/Derbyshire border. I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful
A lovely moment for you @Hostafan1. Hope there are many more
Neil Hannon's such a brilliant writer. Totally underrated too. New song is stunning in it's simplicity. He started it a long time ago, but couldn't get it to work beyond the chorus, and it was only when compiling the new album that he realised it's suitability for a greatest hits piece. I always think of you when I hear #Norma and Norman @Dovefromabove I'm having #National Express at my funeral. One of the best lyrics of all time
Ol' Rafa - ya beauty! A lovely pair of champion's stories at the Oz Open.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
