Lord Brian. I believe you...millions wouldn't. LOL

Extinction of the dinosaurs oh what a lucky day.
Mankind and marsupials might not be here today.
Yet look to the sky, dinosaurs fly, they have not gone away.
I wish some had, while I wash my car, it's warfare, every day.
Some birds are a nuisance just like Messerschmitts.
They drop their bombs that stink of fish.
Seagulls with bad tummies?
It seems they have....diarrhorea.

Oh, Jim. I meant to say after your well hidden hint; I've noticed that since the last one I did for you people now seem to be lining up to record your songs and doing a better job than me. I've also been busy recording backing tracks for a mate of mine so my time has been a little limited of late. Lets see if I get the  muse on the next one?

It's great that people discover something in the words of a song for themselves. It turns out that Bohemian Rhapsody doesn't mean what I thought it did, but that's another story.
Because there are two conflicting story lines in my song, I realised that it's actually a duet with both parties making their point. Or a card game or board game where you'd lure your opponent into a trap?
Maybe the song sheet would help? When I get around to typing it onto my PC, I will post it.

Thank you Pedr. I like your analysis which is very close to what I had in mind. I won't reveal it yet but think of it as a duet.

Spot on Pedr, as usual. Plastic Pam's I call them. They make a fortune making themselves look stupid and selfish, then spend it again getting body art, piercings and Botox! Why beautiful young ladies would want a trout pout and a forehead that can't move is beyond my comprehension.
Once again you've hit the nail on the head.

a situation we've all been in, I think? can be adapted to a card game or chess?

Great recording Pedr. Almost a rap but I could listen to it and I liked the "put down the phone" chorus. Nice guitar playing too. Well done both

Ooh! That's cruel Brian. Chordie like the tides rise and fall, don't write the old girl off yet.

I joined in 2007 I think and it had been going a few years before that. To get an idea, check when Roger Guppy joined, or maybe Per will give you an exact date?

What a true statement and another insightful observation on today's society. Haven't heard it yet but it's bound to be good. Let you know when I've heard it.

Lost parking space blues...mmmm,

Must be the best space in town
A good place to shut your motor down
Who cares who owns that space
I'll leave my car there anyway.

beautiful sentiments Jeff, you lightened my mood with this. The street where I live is always jam-packed with cars that don't belong here, so I took Ann just a mile away, 5 minutes tops, and by the time I got back some **** has jumped in my parking space, so I was fuming coming on line, I read your poem and felt better, then I read what I've just written and now I'm ready to kill again, metaphorically of course. I'd better read your poem again...

I thought I should express my sadness and grief over the passing of our beloved Queen Elizabeth. I dare say some will disagree but I'm sure most will agree and sympathise with possibly the greatest monarch living and not. I also wish King Charles 111 success and the support of his subjects, the government and world leaders.

The love you have for chez Pedr shines through and jumps out of the page.

My regards to Maree and mum, hope she's recovering. Aren't you lucky you have papa tui and his family all I have are seagulls that frighten all the small birds away.

Another great poem.

that my friend is a double dip, a real groaner. it's my type of humour and i can say from experience highly underrated!

eg; a dirty joke...man fell in the mud

Q: how many aeroplanes can you get under a Scotsman's kilt?

The more toys you have the more there is to go wrong! My last car had the works...keyless entry, windows roll up when you walk away as well as lock. Until one day the windows rolled down and wouldn't go up again. Luckily it was still under warranty. My present car is plain and simple, everything is manual. A pain sometimes when I have a hand full of amps but say lavvy?(toilet humour again)

over the last 53 years (since I was old enough to drink...legally) I've spent a lot of time in bars but not one funny story comes to mind. I've seen fights and a lot of smooching and near the knuckle things. But I must tell you about an incident that happened today.

It all began two weeks ago when some idiot smashed my sons rear window on his car. So, the guy turns up to replace the glass and slams the tailgate so hard it jammed so it wouldn't open. ten days later it was taken into the garage for repair. two days ago I took Lee to fetch his car and he drove it home. Today I get a call to say his car wont start. He calls the garage, a fitter comes out and says it's not the battery, scratches his head and leaves the scene! Lee checks you tube and finds a video that tells him how to cure the problem, I get a call and he asks if I could bring a socket set to disconnect the battery which will re-set everything. I go over to find he's opened the bonnet (hood) and taken the negative lug off, and stripped the thread in the process. So, following the instructions I said let's see if that's sorted it? I replaced the lug and there was a click. Lee went to open the door to find it was locked. Where's the key he asked of his wife (normally the brains of the outfit) I left it in the ignition, locked inside the car!!! A helpful passer by suggested getting a wire and looping it around the handle inside the car or calling a locksmith which would cost around £200...nah! We struggled for an hour but failed to get the wire to loop around the handle. The only other solution was to smash the quarter light. Before doing that I said, have you got a spare key? nope. So a wrecking bar appeared and went through the quarterlight and the key was retrieved. The car started first time, so Youtube was right, but at a cost of close to £500! I came home and told Ann that those two are a wonderful couple but a disaster zone.

Pedr, it could be about either it could even be about a road trip...it's how the listener or reader interprets the story. I've been working on a song for a while and every time I go back to it it changes theme. I always thought Bohemian Rhapsody was about passing the AIDS virus, but apparently I was wrong it's just how I interpreted it. Come on Jim where's the recording?

Great song Jim. I didn't get that songwriter reference I thought it was about a lost soul searching for a home?

Jim. I once drank half a bottle of Drambuie through a straw resulting in being very ill! Now it turns my stomach...a little info; whiskey is normally Irish and whisky is Scotch or Scottish whisky. The Irish is smoother and bourbon smells awful to me, not that I'm a connoisseur or anything...

i like the song. i like the recording. i don't like whisky!
Ann makes me drink it with honey and lemon and warm lemonade when i have a sore throat or a cold coming on.
i like the stereo effect you get, Peatle gets it too, vocal in one ear, guitar in the other.
