I think that's for the Royal Variety Show? Not sure though as I didn't watch

Congrats CK on getting the Amsterdam gig.

In terms of the song its catchy, but it does sound even more like David Guetta's When Love Take's Over than Gaitana's You Can Be My Guest (which also sounds like Guetta).

Thanks Viva!

And LOL, I hadn’t thought of that
I’d literally been given 48h to put everything together, cut from just over 2 weeks, and did so accordingly :eek:

Not here yet, I better get out there and finish up what I can. If my body doesn't give up.

I've only seen from Tom Jones, was doing dishes until then!

- Tom Jones. Good voice, quite static (probably too old to move around.
- Robbie Williams. Totally ruined Mack the Knife, awful.
- Shirley Bassey. Nice. I thought she was singing a bit too low key though. but maybe that's just me.
- Kylie. Rubbish. Nice legs though.
- That opera couple on the balcony. Not my cup of tea, but ok I suppose
- Madness. Great performance and loved the projections on the palace.
- Stevie Wonder : Sounded quite squeaky.
- Elton John : Out of tune, but nobody cares, good showman.
- Paul Mc : Bad.

Trying to find a lightbulb - it seems you can't just go out and buy them. Has to be done online .... madness. This is the new UK regs for new builds!

I've got the type as I asked over on the "In your home" board, so that's a start.

Did an ebay search, by location - closest ebay seller is 100 miles away.

That's ludicrous Pastures! Whatever type of bulb is it? I know that in the normal course of events your miles away from everything except pasties, but that's just bonkers.

Changing the subject, I'm loving the Queen's outfit today. It's rare I see something on an eighty something year old woman and think "I'd wear that" but it really is beautiful. She looks great. I hope she gets some time away from the pomp and pageant to see her husband.

Gorgeous start to the day here and no rain yet. It's due today though and there are some heavy looking clouds to the West.

I didn't watch much of the "concert" but ended up watching other music on you tube, as you do.

I started to watch some of the London "stuff" on the TV this morning. It's on BBC and ITV, who do you watch? Well Mary Nightingale looked mmmm in her pink coat so that was that decided :A

It's widespread. Some sneaky building regs thing that says to meet regs every new build has to have one light that meets a certain criteria - and so a lot of builders have ended up using this one solution.... and it's causing problems as nowhere stocks them and they're expensive - and there was no need for a special fitting at all.
