NoJ Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I missed The Drovers reunion at the Abbey last night. Even Kathleen came back! Sounds like it was a one time thing too dammit. One of the best places to be in the early 90s in Chicago was a Drovers show at the Abbey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Drovers use to play down in Carbondale in the early 90s quite a bit - always a fun show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

theashtraysays Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 The doctor stuck a thing up my nose today and told me I have the flu. Same thing happened to my wife today. Having both grownups down for the count is not good. So, in a word, shitty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Eh. Thatcher died today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Thatcher died today. And Elvis Costello is echoing in my head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hence my earlier comment here to which I assumed the reply was 'Eh?' and needed more explanation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hadn't read all the way up in the thread. I just saw your comment about Thatcher and thought I'd post my cryptic little Costello remark. I guess we both know what we were referring to! So as one of our resident Brits, are you feeling any pangs of sadness? I'm thinking back to when Reagan died, and I can honestly say I wasn't sorry, although I didn't take any great pleasure in it. Especially given his descent into Alzheimers, which I guess affected Thatcher as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 So as one of our resident Brits, are you feeling any pangs of sadness? None whatsoever. As a Welshman, the miners strike of 83-84 was a terrible time indeed. There were certain things that needed to be changed with the way Trade Unions operated, but she led a cynical campaign to break them at any cost without a care for the single-industry communities affected. Heartless and morally bankrupt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

choo-choo-charlie Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 My day was so crappy I couldn't muster up a full "meh." Hence, "eh." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
