Re: LADIES banter/training/motivation thread ??
Carole, thank you for your latest health update and I hope that you will receive some clearer news soon about your heart surgery. I have a lot on at the moment, so will save my Tale of Two Kitties for another time. Take great care and going forward, I send you all good wishes towards a new beginning...

Re: Name that tune
Paul, like Plummy, I also looked up the song but unlike Plummy, I didn't recognise it at all, which doesn't mean it's not well known, just that there are huge gaps in my musical knowledge. For Peter, there's usually a collective sharp intake of breath when Mr Glitter gets mentioned over here in the ...

Re: Name that tune
Thanks for the clue Jill. I think Peter has the right era, but that it’s actually the Walker Brothers. And the song is The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore. Paul, you are correct on both counts. :D =D> You have also saved me in the nick of time, from being crossed off Peter's Christmas card list becau...

Re: LADIES banter/training/motivation thread ??
Dear Tina and Carole, Thank you both for your updates and apologies ( again ) for not replying sooner to your posts. Tina, I see that you haven’t been rowing for a while, so have your plans to compete in the Games fallen through, or are you managing to keep up with the training but not posting your ...

Re: LADIES banter/training/motivation thread ??
Hi Jill, thanks so much for checking in. Yes, we are still aiming to compete in the Games, but my training is not what it should be. Still going to the gym and doing weight training, but actual rowing training is a bit sparse. Raj is still going strong at 16 years old - his kidneys are failing, but...

Re: Name that tune
Hi Jill. Before seeing your post, I decided to share the pain with you and name the tune, rather than just saying "it is bad no one can name it". Really bbbbbbad. But, I decided to "person up" and save you. Thank you Peter, that's brilliant. :lol: Last year, George Thorogood and...

This one I knew without Plummy's help. Send In The Clowns Ann & I are trying to remember the musical without looking it up. Was it How To Succeed in Business (etc.) with Dudley Moore? Peter and Ann, well done both of you, as the song is of course, Send in the clowns from the musical, A Little N...

Dear Philip -
Because of your heartfelt request
I'll take part is this scary team test
I think we all know
That my pace will be slow
Cos my ' talents ' long ago ' all went west '
It's in writing now so I will have a go tomorrow.

Re: Name that tune
Peter, I agree with Plummy, you won ' fair and square '. Most of us have occasionally had that lightbulb moment, courtesy of another's suggestion. At the moment though, your contribution is not providing me with any illumination.
