You too! Hopefully they'll get it sorted soon for you.

Hope you're both feeling better San and Marie. Good job it wasn't last week San with your visitors there. I'm hopeless at this, just off for a peek at the CD's or is that cheating?

im glad to lily, it just flares up with no warning, but hope to get to the bottom of it soon, i know its not just IBS as first thought, getting worse with pain each time, anyway no point in keep moaning is there, worse things going on :o))

Ah, go for it, Lily!
Thank you. I'll be ok once the meds kick in! Was wakened at 8( after 3 hrs sleep!) by the plasterer letting himself in (!) & nearly jumped out of my skin! Cant even have a shower, there're workmen wandering in & out all the time! Grrrrr! That's my rant over with. :~))

I'm sure they'll work it out soon. Have they scanned?

no worries mari, i know what its like having work done, a pain in the rear but worth it in the end, scan on 18th but not sure it will show anything, as doctor saturday night said i may be better having a camera through tummy button, shows more, hope this isnt making you feel faint lol, thin k its build up of scar tissue, after 4 opps on my tummy over the years,lets hope its just that,had the big C 9 yeras ago now

ooh! Been raiding your collection again. Indy?

Yup!

Have You Ever Seen The Rain ~ Creedence Clearwater Revival.......

Seasons in the Sun......??? Can remember tune but no idea who sings it!!

That's the one I'd forgotten by the time I got to the kleyboard, Seasons In The Sun! It was Terry Jacks!
And I like CCR!
Great choices!

Woooo.....funny, where that sprang to my mind from I don't know.....here's another.....

Cold as Ice ~ Foreigner......Brrrrrrrrrr!

Hmmmmmmmm, good PG!

Somewhere in the dark recesses of my brain (not been in there for a l-o-n-g time), wasn't there something called "Play Misty For Me"?

seasons in the sun was Terry jacks ,i think

Andrew, it was a film title. It starred Clint Eastwood as a dj who had a crazy fan, who always wanted him to play "Misty" ! Great film!
Now THERE's an idea............! Ta!
Yes Indy, it was Terry Jacks!

Doh!

It's one of those ones that trick you!

Some more for you!

"Stormy Weather" - various artistes, from Ethel Waters (what an apt name!) in 1933 to jeff Lynne (ELO - one of my fave bands) 1990. Got pics of the Peace Pole today, and saw some fab plants, but got thoroughly drenched in the process, lol. Drove home with the heater blasting to try to dry out, but only resulted in "Steamy Windows" (Tina Turner). But, coming up-to-date, on the way home, the radio played 2 apt tracks - "Can't Stop the Rain" (Cascada), and James Morrison's "Please don't stop the Rain".

AaaachOOOOOOOO! Am dried out, now. :-)

I LOVE Stormy Weather! I've heard so many versions of it too!
Great, thanks for getting the pics, :~))))))))
& sorry you got drenched! :~((

Okay Bb I concede the point that the weather angle on Telstar was the groups name Tornado's ... duh! sorry :o)))) But big yellow taxi is a very sunny title hmmmm?
Now here is one I remeber from Radio Caroline days, you youngsters will not know what Radio Caroline was 'Farewell in the rain' by the shoes a dutch group that never made it over here but it was played a lot on Caroline.

Bobg - my "Saviour"! Mention of "tornado" (I hope????).

Forget the drookin', Mp, was in "my element", lol! :-)

Ok, ok, I'll let you off with the waffling about tornadoes!
Glad you had fun yesterday!

But I STILL think you were thinking of lightning, what with all the flashing!

Bob...did you know Radio Caroline is still going....although not from a boat! We found it on our 'sky TV' the other day!

Just to go all up-market and posh, there's the depiction of a thunderstorm in the fourth movement of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony

Isn't there one in Debussy's La Mer too?

Ok I'm on to nursery rhymes now!

It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring.........

Doctor Foster went to Gloucester in a shower of rain.............

Andrew how about Vivaldi's four seasons?
Yes Pottyg I had heard that there is a station called Caroline I did find it once online on the streaming radio stations but it was never the same as the original.
Okay okay Marie get this one ....Incey wincey spider went up the water spout and down came the rain and washed poor wincey out.......

Yay!
I did think of fourseasons, but we were stuck on pop tunes at the time!

Just thought of another one for your collection .......... Sunshine Day - Osibisa

Love that record Louis, it's such a happy song !

Hmm never heard of that one, Louis!
Walkin' on sunshine - Katrina & the waves

I remember it now! Is that the one with "smile will bring a sunshiny day"...?

God save our gracious Queen;
God save our noble Queen
God save our Queen
Send her victorious
Happy and glorious
Long tooooo rain over us
God save our Queen)
