Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Morning all, hope everyone is well
@anjelikaferrett enjoy your son’s visit! @peteblue hope the bonfire goes well. @jazzy glad to see the back is holding up.
Just catching up after yesterday’s moping around. I am definitely going to the match though this afternoon. Fingers crossed for 3 points.

I once had an Opirh gin and tonic and they put black pepper and basil in it. Sounds a bit weird but it was lovely
Glad to hear that you're feeling a lot better Val .

Hopefully another 3 points will make you feel even better

It goes well with spice. I pit green cardamom in mine. Tried cloves once but it overpowered it a bit. May try a couple of peppercorns next time.
 
We watched it this week- it’s good. It’s a documentary - true story. I know not everyone does but I have an immense respect for the police, I don’t think I could do their job.
They have a few bad eggs but but you get them everywhere. And like any male dominated profession it can be misogynistic at times. But on the whole I agree they do a very good job under very difficult circumstances. I'd rather have our police force than probably any other worldwide.
 
In e-mail format she sails again.
The music media generally loves them, which has generated a bit of backlash from the Indie populace, which is unfortunate. But as more people see them live they're building more of a fan base.

Think the radio network in this country make it really difficult for young emerging indie bands generally. I'm always surprised at the talent at Glastonbury every year from bands I've never heard of, some who have been around for years.

It's different in the US where they have a dedicated network for alternative music. Which is probably why they have a bigger following over there.

I never cease to be amazed at your openness to new music Fred. Genuinely it's a credit to you.
Personally I prefer to troll through my memory banks and record collection of 60s to 90s.
Nostalgia rules pour moi.

I like both Jazz. But when I've had a few I always seem to veer to my old faves like Yes, Genesis and later bands like Joy Division and The Cure.

There's another new band I've become quite keen on called Picture Parlour. Another girl band but the lead singer is a scouser who used to play for Everton. She has the most amazing voice, almost Janice Joplin like.

You should try and open your mind to new stuff mate. There's some great stuff out there. Doesn't mean you have to give up on your old favourites.
 
I’m OK thanks, Fred. Decided to put myself on the bench for a couple of days. I overstepped the mark, this thread is, after all, the faith in humanity thread and temporarily lost my faith in humanity and felt that in some way I had let Karl down. I’ll be back to torment you, don’t worry. ;)
Sooner the better.💙

And for what it's worth you overstepped no mark, if a mark even exists. I'm not sure Karl intended anything when he set up this thread, apart from a haven for like minded people to discuss issues bothering them without having to suffer the inevitable backlash you'd get elsewhere in this forum. You've done nothing wrong. Nothing. In fact you're part of the backbone of this thread and it just isn't the same without you. GIFs and all.😀

Unless you make it onto Radio 1, or win some reality TV show, you are so unlikely to make it in the music scene. Gerry Cinnamon a notable exception.
