A suitable word could be: precis ?

Maybe can appropriate the Welsh word 'hiraeth' which sort of sums up similar feelings.

LOL I can just hear our Graham doing the voice over and Cilla wishing you a lorra lorra love.

What's the Welsh connection? (The flag - I am Welsh). Wales v England tomorrow and the omens are not good.

No, thank you, or should I say, ta.

The Four Season mix-up was pretty hilarious

Or even ... Common Humanity Initiative National Unified Population Common Humanity Initiative National Unity Project/Programme Community Healing Initiative ... I could go on ...

Yes I was taking that as a given (like I would have taken knowing what a chain gang was as a given - which I thought was a bit strange having to explain), but it's still better if there is an N word. Still shaking it here Boss

"C.H.I.N. U.P. Initiative which is an idea that he woke up with. Common Human Initiative Unified People" Isn't that missing an N word, if you pardon the expression. My copy writer suggests:- Common Human Initiative Needing Unified Population Also, Chain Gang was one of only a handful of records in my house as a young kid, so that's nice.

Watching Trump now reminds me of watching Comical Ali from the time of the Gulf War. Clearly absolutely delusional. From this side of the water the saddest thing is how no one has stood up to him from decent Republicans. That reminds me of the rise of the Nazi party. Thankfully it should be all over soon and history won't quite repeat that part. Putting aside the out and out nutters, there's got to be an almighty effort to do something for and win back ordinary people who voted for Trump who believe they are missing out. It's not party time for the liberals now - which in my opinion is w

Borat II - It was definitely very patchy and at times just uncomfortable rather than funny, but some decent guffaws. The Rudy scene has been puffed up into something it probably wasn't, though he did come across as a bit patronising/sleezy. I did think the covid 'twist' at the end was quite nicely done, and THAT OLD LADY IN THE SYNAGOGUE WAS JUST MAGNIFICENT! (made the whole film worthwhile). Also, did you hear that whilst Borat I was banned, for Borat II the Kazakh Tourist Board have now adopted 'Very Nice!' as their new slogan. If you can't beat them, join them. Earli

Just in case you thought it would only be possible in some kind of alternative reality

Of course, apologies. I drive past the tree where he ended his days from time to time. Usually a few ribbons and whatnot attached to it.

Still space for one more mystery guest on the Gnome Stool. Since reading Lotti's post I have had an acoustic version of Via Chicago in my head with lilting bongo accompaniment. It works pretty well I think. And if bongos were good enough for Mark Bolan and Hendrick at Woodstock then who is to knock them? Edit: Funny what you can stumble upon in a few spare minutes:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incredible_Bongo_Band as mixed by John Lennon apparently, and whose first album is "one of the musical cornerstones of rap. While it’s hard to measure these things acc

Just listened to Sean Lennon's hour long interview with Macca. Enjoyed it - a conversation more than an interview and some nice moments e.g. Sean hearing about his grandmother for the first time from someone who actually met her. Sean sounds like a nice bloke too. If you can't hear it outside the UK here then no doubt it will be on youtube soon https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p08t4mx9

When's that Jackson version of Let It Be going to surface? Found this today to watch - initially out of a sense of duty but actually enjoyed it alot more than I remember from the last time about 30 years ago when it was on the BBC https://vimeo.com/393843142

Oh the irony . . .

Frankie Boyle's New World Order Still breathtakingly anti-establishment outspoken and gaffaw out loud fantastic. Start at 28:30 for a taster.
