Scott Ganschow "Don't Pay the Ferryman" kicked ass! "Lady in Red," not so much.

Four Walls @FourWalls (86763) • United States 17h

It’s time for another song from the storied musical career of Paul McCartney. I’m enjoying my vacation (too much, I slept eight hours without moving last night ) and I’m also enjoying this trip through Macca’s career....

Scott Ganschow We've got a bit of a drought going here, ourselves.

What Do You Think About Who's Up for Bond?

celticeagle @celticeagle (189915) • Boise, Idaho 14h

Amazon MGM Studios is beginning the task of picking who will be the new Bond. The new movie will the 26th one, I guess. And they have had 8 actors play the roll. Out of those I only liked about three: David Kniven, Roger Moore and...

James Bond Trivia

celticeagle @celticeagle (189915) • Boise, Idaho 14h

James Bond has a birth date of November 11, 1920. That would make him over 100. But he is usually portrayed as being in his mid 30s on the screen. Ian Fleming started writing about the character in 1952. The first novel was...

Did you know this?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52194) • Staten Island, New York 12 Jun

Here in NYC, instead of saying “Hi” people will say “How are you?” to you. That doesn’t mean that they actually want you to tell them how you are doing. It’s just their way of being friendly and saying hello to you. I did...

Scott Ganschow In Southern Germany, if you ask someone how they are doing, they will literally stop and let you know.

Have you ever marcelled your hair?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382258) • Rockingham, Australia 12 Jun

I’m reading a book set in South Africa in the early 1900s. It’s set on an ostrich farm so watch this space for a discussion on how ostrich feathers are harvested. However, I’ve come across the word ‘marcelled’ in...

Scott Ganschow No, I've never heard that term. Sounds a bit similar to the crimping fad of the 80's here in the States.

Songs Mentioning the Beatles: One of Those Days

Four Walls @FourWalls (86763) • United States 12 Jun

Today we have the first, but certainly not the last, intentionally funny song (I say that in case people with various music tastes find some of the other songs “funny” ) on the list of songs that reference the Beatles....

Scott Ganschow "I don’t know if people who did nothing but parodies would last long." - True. Bruce "Baby Man" Baum lasted an album. Never heard from again. Then again, Al is more clever with it than others.

Celebrating Sir Paul: Listen to What the Man Said

Four Walls @FourWalls (86763) • United States 12 Jun

While I finish my yummy chicken barbecue sandwich (thankfully without that South Carolina mustard sauce ) I’ll give you another song on my list of favorites from the long and storied career of Paul McCartney, who’ll be 84 years...

Scott Ganschow I admit to liking this song. Although, apparently he missed out on a golden opportunity by failing to release a solo album under just "Wing."

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382258) • Rockingham, Australia 11 Jun

Vince’s first job was in a Bank of New South Wales, and at one point, he and two others were sent to Ravensthorpe to open a branch there. He wanted to have the first account so his bankbook would show No. 000001. The...

Someone else will have to throw this out

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382258) • Rockingham, Australia 11 Jun

I’ve been going through some plastic tubs and checking for more things to donate. I won’t be donating this but I’m also not allowed to throw it out. It’s a jumper from when we were part-owners of a machinery business called Ramac,...

Celebrating Sir Paul: Letting Go

Four Walls @FourWalls (86763) • United States 11 Jun

One week until Sir Paul’s big day. He’ll be 84! I’m significantly younger, but after you start getting Medicare 84 doesn’t look that old. You’re getting a varied look at his long and varied career, and that...

Scott Ganschow Did his Christmas song make the list? Which is now in my head.

Songs Mentioning the Beatles: Life in a Northern Town

Four Walls @FourWalls (86763) • United States 11 Jun

Howdy from an unusual place: Cracker Barrel! I stayed at a Hilton Garden Inn last night, and their breakfasts aren’t included with the room rate. (Weird about how various hotels within a franchise chain vary on things like that,...

Geriatric penguins living the good life

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382258) • Rockingham, Australia 10 Jun

I found a feel-good story today about the New England Aquarium in Boston. They’ve installed a fenced-off area for seven elderly African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) away from the more noisy, active younger ones. Birds in...

Songs Mentioning the Beatles: It’s Alright

Four Walls @FourWalls (86763) • United States 10 Jun

Two things you’re learning this month, if nothing else, as we celebrate Paul McCartney’s 84th birthday. One, you probably had no idea there were this many references to the Beatles in songs. Two, you probably had no idea there...
