  1. Yes, called St. Edward's College. Located at Cheswardine Hall from 1950-1968.
  2. Don't make me larf!
  3. Louis Armstrong Billie Holiday Frank Sinatra Ella Fitzgerald Howlin' Wolf Ray Charles Al Green John Lennon Bob Dylan Joni Mitchell
  4. Do you listen to it for game commentary? It has connected to the Bournemouth game, instead of the Saints game, three times in the last four weeks. Today it had two commentaries running simultaneously! Took about 15-20 minutes to fix the problem.
  5. He grew up in Market Drayton. I went to school near there in the mid-60s.
  6. OMG! Back to the Bournemouth game!
  7. Cleared off the line from a Shrewsbury corner.
  8. Just got this from "customer services": "Thank you for contacting us, We apologise for the errors with today’s commentary. Problems have occurred at the radio station; they are attempting to amend them. Sorry for the inconvenience caused." Kind Regards Web Support
  9. One commentary only now, but the wrong one!
  10. UK is only four hours ahead of us 'til tomorrow.
  11. Nice. I've got lots of his albums. My favourite is The Confessions of Dr. Dream and Other Stories.
  12. Alleluia, we're at the Notts County game, not Bournemouth's. COYS!
  13. On the first day of issue I picked up the new Lennon boxed set, which has nearly all of his solos albums - remastered. Been listening to a lot of those CDs. Some wildly uneven stuff in there, but brings back lots of great memories.
  14. Just three?! OMG! Casablanca The Bridge on the River Kwai if ....
  15. Yes, agreed. But, let's say you paid a newsagent to deliver The Independent to your house each day, and on Thursday they delivered The Sun, would you point out the error? And if you did let them know, and on Friday they delivered the wrong paper again, would you resign yourself, or would you let them know again? Should the newsagent learn from the mistake and correct the problem, or should the error be ignored because it's only a bit of money that you're paying?
  16. It's not moan, moan, moan. I am happy with most of what SaintsPlayer offers. This is a specific moan: for two weeks in a row, they had to be told that they had connected Saints fans to the Bournemouth game, instead of the Southampton game. That's a crucial mistake, don't you think? And not having the pre-game discussion and interviews, but starting their coverage two minutes before kick-off - that's a crucial mistake too, don't you think?
  17. I wrote to them on Saturday during the game. Got the same response as CanadaSaint: "I can confirm that the correct commentary is now playing." I emailed them back immediately saying that I did not need them to "confirm" that the correct commentary was playing because I already knew that. I was listening to it, FFS! I asked them to "confirm" to me that this problem (two weeks in a row) would not happen again. Surely they would have learned from the previous error and not do it again. You'd think so, but apparently not.
  18. Remember Paul Telfer? He had a hard time getting the ball over the first defender! Things are better than that now.
  19. Come on, Saints! Three points today,eh?!
  20. You don't think country and western, folk and bluegrass are distinct genres? BTW, this suddenly reminds me of a heated discussion I once had with the manager of a music store who put all the folk, classical and pop singers like Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby into one amorphous section called "Easy Listening". Can you imagine? Bartok and Shostakovich as Easy Listening! And "Urban Contemporary"? Give me a break!
  21. No. Classical Folk Country & Western Bluegrass Pop
  22. Two pedantic points: 1) Always proofread your thread title before posting. 2) Ginormous is a combination of gigantic and enormous; therefore, spell it as ginormous. That is all.
  23. Here's what Roger Waters said about a possible reunion-tour in an interview last April to promote his current tour performing The Wall: "David (Gilmour) is completely disinterested in anything like that. After Live 8, I could have probably gone for doing some more stuff, but he's not interested, so it is what it is."
  24. Have you done the War Cabinet Rooms / Churchill Museum in Whitehall? The Monument? EMI Studios / Abbey Road?
