Hi Em :) welcome.



Nothing to be scared of! Except the murder of world leaders...

Wait! Isn't a murder of world leaders technically called...an Assassination!?

What about a Termination of World Leaders? :-)

Or a Confusion of World Leaders?

Or maybe an Abomination of World Leaders?


(... hang on a minute, I have to answer the door, a limo just pulled up and some men in black suits got out ...)

At what stage do we send out the search party? :(




An embarrassment of world leaders.


(What!? It's a compliment.)

Just back from my regular Sunday jaunt to St. George's covered market in Belfast city centre - laden with fish and meat, Suki tea and pashmina scarves (not for me!).

One of the teas I got is called 'Apple loves Mint', and as well as the obvious apple pieces and peppermint leaves it has papaya and rose buds! Smells great but'll probably taste lethal! :)

I dunno what the three-piece group playing there today were called, but they kept telling everyone they were about to go on tour to Coventry and Wolverhampton!! I wish they'd started already! :(

Hooray, he's escaped! I was worried that you'd taken shelter in an Ecuador embassy somewhere.

That's some music review. They should put it on their promotional flyers.

I'm using another dsimpy suggestion for this week's speciality topic - International Music. It needed a couple of other categories to bump it up so I've added Music Mixture and Irish Music. I hope we're better on this topic than we were on crime. :D

Good luck!

Don't know if I will be better on international music than on crime, but it will *look* better if I am LOL

dsimpy... seems like that's the same idea as going into a shop, and hearing 'music' being sent through a ceiling sound system. You like the shop, but could do without the sound effects :-p

There's different live music on there every week and sometimes it's amazing ... like Réalta two weeks ago, who were so good I bought their CD which I've been playing endlessly in my car stereo ever since!

But this scrawny collection of old geezers were something else! I was sitting right next to the keyboard player having a coffee (me not him!), but despite that I couldn't refrain from the odd whispered aside to my daughter about how utterly woeful they were. :(

Some of my favourite pub-music experiences have been when the band has been..er..underwhelming. It usually includes a keyboard with a bossanova (sp?) beat button. The fun you can have trying to guess what song they are playing when all songs sound the same!

Ok, I've just played the mad music round and I scored 3 (one was a lucky guess). Can anyone beat that?

Apparently Edward Snowden has applied - among applications to other states - for political asylum in Ireland.

What do you think? Will Enda take this bold step in defiance of Barack and David Cameron, placing Ireland at the forefront of the world's independent non-aligned states?

No?

... okay, you're probably right. ;-)

Definitely wouldn't take him. What a shame though! Think how interesting the place would be if we became a sanctuary for whistleblowers and mavericks.

I hope SOMEone takes him. I'd hate to see him prosecuted for exposing 'big brother'.

I'm off to the desolate offshore wilderness(!) of Arranmore island tomorrow, so I doubt I'll have much/any internet access for a few days and will (sadly!) be giving the VIP quiz a miss for a couple of days.

Have fun y'all! :)
