Just back from a swim in the Atlantic ocean!!
Cold but exhilarating. Most fun you can have with your clothes off

Don’t watch it T, don’t know why but Gregg Wallace gets right on my wick.lol

HUH ,I hope @Barnfred 55 doesn't read that he was bad enough me and the wife swapping clothes ! Joking aside I love the show but he struck lucky as he offers very little except consolation if the contestent gets slated.

Lost interest in reality TV shows a long time ago T. Don't think I watch any these days. Much prefer watching factual programs and a good drama.

So Gordon Ramsey is out then ?

Ha ha. Afraid so. I rarely watch any of those type of programs now. Not food programs as such but ones where there is contestant participation, like Hells Kitchen. Funnily enough, said Godon Ramsey said one of my favourite ever one liners to Edwina Currie. He said you XXXXed the Prime Minister and now you're trying to XXXX me. lol She just stood there and took it on the chin, so to speak. Classic TV. But it's all a bit same old same old to me now. It's all been done before and just being repackaged over and over.

Anyone watching the latest masterchef? I have watched that program for about 15 years ish and I still can't cook ffs lol

watched it last night for 1st time in ages.

BBC very politically correct with the diversity in the contestants.

I remember seeing Squeeze in the late 70s before they became a household name but after they had released the single Take me I'm Yours because I remember them playing it at the gig. Can't remember where it was but it was a club venue rather than a theatre, but I know it wasn't Eric's. Anyway, there couldn't have been more than a few dozen people there. They didn't have a large collection of own songs at the time and were playing a few covers. There were so few people there that they started taking requests. I asked for Stairway to heaven for some reason but in fairness they played it and it was brilliant. So was the whole gig actually. Great musicians.

great band and Difford and Tillbrook are excellent songwriters

I posted this in another thread yesterday and why not post it again..

 

[Barnfred 55]

Aw Fred, thanks means a lot, I’ll try ?but can’t claim the credit for the gif @Terrarian was responsible. Wish I’d thought of it though.lol

I honestly thought you'd posted that lol . I haven't even had a drink yet either.

Love your sense of humour too T.

@Barnfred 55 First time I saw Squeeze was at Mountford Hall. They had just broke into the big time. They were brilliant. Have seen them a few times since then. Their songwriting is sublime. Up The Junction is one of my Top 10 songs. I love the big hair glam rock stuff. Pure cheese! Never really knew much about Deep Purple until.I watched something on Sky Documentaries about them. I was gobsmacked. What talented knowledgeable musicians.

Love sea swimming. Bit cold for me at the moment. Did you wear a wet suit Blue or aren't you a wimp like most of the young ones these days.

I have a 3/4 wet suit. This time of the year without it be dangerous! The difference between the bits covered and not was noticeable !!

BBC is very politically correct full stop Jazz. It doesn't really bother me and I don't get in the slightest worked up about it. But it's just so blindingly obvious. Same with a lot of the TV and Film awards.

Fair enough at this time of year. As I said, it's too cold for me. I'll go in upto my knees at the moment and that's it. Temp is only about 11c, needs to be around 14c before I'm tempted in. You get loads down here sea swimming all year around.

There was a few in today all right. It was glorious
