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...

Re: Name that tune
Hm, those are strong lyrics. Should be I nstantly recognisable, if you know them! Sorry, another one I can’t decipher. Steve, when all is revealed, I can guarantee that you will be blushing. :fsbgrin: :fswink: I need a break from posting tunes that people don't know. I will not name this one unless...

Hello, I would love you to tell me the name of this song!

Where are the clowns? I know a version by a lady singer (Ann Murray??) Sorry Plummy, that's not the right answer, although you are partially correct. :) However, if some ( including myself ) were asked, " Where are the clowns? ", our immediate reply would be, " In the Houses of Parli...

Re: July CTC: 9 x 333 r1'
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.

Re: Name that tune
Thank you Steve.
You will need to go back to the nineteen fifties for this song, although it has been covered since by several artists, including the Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones and Queen.

Re: Name that tune
My last clue was the opening two lines of the song but as It doesn't look as if this is going anywhere, the answer is, Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who.
Paul, as you did put up a suggestion, I will nominate you to take over the baton.

Re: Name that tune
Neil Young - After the Gold Rush. Two of the first albums I ever bought were Harvest and After the Gold Rush. It's good to hear from you Paul but it isn't After The Goldrush although having just read the song's lyrics, I can see why you made that choice. :) The song ( first released in 1971 ) is by...

Re: Name that tune
Thank you Steve, it was one of those rare occasions, when I recognised the lyric straightaway, which doesn't happen very often.
Earlier today, I heard this ( I hope ) very well known song.
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed

Re: Name that tune
Thank you Peter.
Yes, it can be tricky at times to come up with a song that we hope will be familiar, even if at first, the lyric evades our memory.
Still keeping to the theme:
Had a band and we tried real hard
