Coronavirus - Keeping it light :-)

[ruston]

I had one on Saturday , I'm so old and decrepit I did not notice any difference.

 

[Mike Johnson]

I wonder if its the difference between the two different vaccines that are available mine was the Pfizer which has given me the sore arm, I have also noticed that another post said how large the dose was, mine was a very small amount of vaccine? A few hours on and the soreness has subsided.

 

[snowhead]

I'm within a couple or so weeks of having one.
I'll report back.

Just starting to recover from my third bout of Covid 19 and it doesn't get any easier although I know what to expect now

Had a light cough, light to severe bouts of shivering and some weird taste changes this one was so different to the others my wife even suggested it was flu before the positive test result landed. The I told you so was so sweet
My wife had the headaches and the cough she tested positive just after me

Talking to the test and trace people and a research guy based at my local surgery there doesn't seem to be any standard to the expected symptoms since the arrival of the variants and anything could be a symptom, lost count of the number of times I have been asked about a fever or high temperature and I have not had either

Many thanks for sharing .

A temperature for me in winter is tricky to diagnose ...
As I often awake -well wrapped in a Quilt ...
Diabetic night sweats !!! - I hate google.
(maybe I should go back to bed sheets )

Just got this beauty!

 

[pirate]

sadly, when I plugged it in all I got was a slight humming, and no kick---- sound output...
so< of course, I opened it up...

 

[pirate]

Problem solved!

 

[Mike Johnson]

Too many soft drinks will dull the sound.

The tonic is to allow for slight dilution of the export strength gin, the coke for the rum

totally sacreligious to pollute good rum with fizzy pop.

My son was into ,Slipknot and other screamo's
..but surprised me with some "Sea shanty " phenomenon. Recently !
..It's almost as good as rap ,,with all those
"Sea Farin -Live or die ,words of encouragement ".

 

[Moley]

Oi, there's nothing wrong with Slipknot. Try listening to 'The Devil In I' with the volume up LOUD ?

 

[Mike Johnson]

Seasick Dave comes to mind.

 

[Mike Johnson]

Time out beat me to it Seaskick Steve, not Dave:

 

[littlespark]

So a postman from Irvine makes it big on TikTok with a decades old sea shanty song....

Can any of you lot sing?


I prefer this version

.

 

[pirate]

@static zap

Maybe some Alestorm?

 

[pc1966]

Maybe some Alestorm?

All the better when combined with The Wurzels

 

[pc1966]

Or for a more traditional sailor's song (not for the easily offended):

 

[static zap]

Too true ,its my antidote to having 70s disco tune stuck in my head.
( and that fettish german lot ... Rammstein )--There's a journey .

 

[Moley]

Don't know much about Rammstein apart from what they occasionaly play on Planet Rock. It does seem a bit of an aquired taste.

Meinland is top tune, especially nice and loud. Don't know any of their other stuff though.

For me I would probably go for Reise, Reise (keeping the nautical theme as well)

I shall have a listen!

 

[Moley]

There was a video that got played on (I believe) Kerrang quite often involing Snow White and Rammstein were the 7 dwarves. Not sure what song it was but seemed good even if it was in German.

 

[pc1966]

Not idea what they are saying. Snow White spanking the "dwarfs" got my interest LOL!

 

[Moley]

Ah, that's the puppy. Used to get played a lot. Not sure if they are a group I could get into but okay as background music in the van.

 

[littlespark]

While we’re talking about music, can you all spare a thought for my household?

eldest is into kpop. My ears bleed

middle one loves Eurovision. Even watches the different heats to find each countries entrants. Nil points

the young one surprises me. Will listen to what her sisters do, but suddenly starts singing along to my random Spotify playlist.
“Artic Monkeys! That’s cool, Dad”

Tragic.

Get them a Rolling Stones collection.

 

[Moley]

Sit them all down and make them listen to Pink Floyd. If they don't like it kick 'em out!

 

[telectrix]

make them listen to Pink Floyd, Deep purple, and Black Sabbath.

corrected for you.

 

[DPG]

Never managed to listen to a full Pink Floyd song. I always get bored half way through the first ten minutes of the intro.

 

[Mike Johnson]

Make them listen to real music the likes of Robert Johnson, Leadbetter, Howling Wolf, Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday or if you want to go modern Nina Simone.

wasn't Simone one of the prostitutes in Crocodile Dundee?

 

[Mike Johnson]

Philistine.

What albums has he made?

 

[telectrix]

What albums has he made?

think he did "Go on David, give it your best (sling)shot." it was on the Goliath label issued in 237 BC.

 

[littlespark]

Oh I’ve tried!

I even got an old turntable working to show them a vinyl record was.... not interested one bit.

Sometimes, an old song will turn up on the radio... and one of them will sing along for 10 seconds or so.... I ask them how they know it..
It’s on that TikTok... and they’ve only ever heard those 10 seconds....

 

[Mike Johnson]

How very proletariat.

...

To a count of numbers 1,2,3,4...

Paraphrasing it's:

Everyone's waiting for the light
Don't fear
Sun shines out of my eyes
Count
1 here comes the sun
2 here comes the sun
3 the brightest light of all
4 she won't go down today
5 here comes the sun

Then various combinations of:
Lays down hot on my face
Burns you, blinds you
Shines from my hands
Will never fall from the sky

Interweened with the 1,2,3,4,5,6.. refrains from above, but not always the same numbers or order

Not my thing at all.

(Can't comment on the activities of miss White)

Sabbath, Floyd, purple, green day, and a multitude of others yes.
