Want to see class rewatch Kane getting his ‘match winning’ 100.

Class is awesome.

Trophies are better.

Amazingly Warner isn’t even the biggest fluffybunny in that photo

@MN5 would like to see him in concert. Like some of his James Gang stuff including The Bomber:, Woman and Funk 49. The confessor is awesome as well post James Gang.

We will part ways of the Eagles.

‘The smoker you drink the player you get’ is just a fantastic album too.

@Victor-Meldrew said in Movie review thread...:

Virgin Witch (1972)

Chanced upon this on a vintage TV channel. Has Vicki Michelle from 'Allo 'Allo. Crap plot and no-one here will look for it.

But it has loads of great boobs....

Show content

3 Bra Commercials out of 5 Playboy Pinups.

I’ll keep an eye out for this one. Looks promising.

@Dice said in Match Fit:

Match Fit is back for a 2nd season. Starts on June 8th.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/tv-radio/128742389/match-fit-coaches-graham-henry-and-buck-shelford-on-loss-and-laughter

On screen this time around are Brad Mika, Glen Osborne, Rico Gear, Corey Flynn and the late Tuigamala. They are joined by Piri Weepu, Eroni Clarke, Kees Meeuws, Ron Cribb and Charlie Riechelmann who all appeared in Match Fit’s first season.

The show’s coaches – Sir Buck Shelford and Sir Graham Henry – are back too, as is personal trainer Alex Flint.

I remember an article on Brad Mike back when he was playing. Something along the lines of him being the kind of guy who only needs to lick a postage stamp to put on weight. Will be interesting to see how he goes.

Glen Osbourne was looking fighting fit when I strolled past him in Welly last year though !

Forget anything he did with the Eagles…..

This is Joe at his best

@Kiwiwomble said in Star Wars VII ****contains spoilers****:

just read the first ep's "blurb"...after years of hiding? so not flowing too quickly from the movies

From what I’ve read I think it’s ten years or so ?

Right, see you fellas here tomorrow for my thoughts…..

Promised my sons I’d watch with them tomorrow, they can’t tonight cos of a family thing, I can’t even sneakily do so on the sly cos we all use the same Disney plus login haha.

@Kiwiwomble said in Star Wars VII ****contains spoilers****:

@MN5 could be a cool way to show that in a galaxy of trillions there were probably only a few thousand force users...max, and at this time there may have only been 10's of them. the emperor may have been powerful with the force....but he ruled using good old fashioned strong arm tactics inforced my normal people

my only problem is we know how his story ends...stupid prequels...i have the same hope as with most of these star wars series, that its a limited run telling one story, how he became such a fanatic rebel

There were “force users” who were neither Jedi or Sith as far as I know.

Old mate from Rogue One being a prime example.

Yes, we do know how Andor ends up but if the story is compelling enough it might not be an issue.

@MajorRage said in What are you listening to, right now................:

Not what I'm listening to as such, but if you are a big fan of the Foo Fighters, then this is a really interesting read about Taylor.

Andy Greene  /  May 16

Inside Taylor Hawkins’ Final Days as a Foo Fighter

For 24 years, Taylor went all-out for Foo Fighters. Before he died, Hawkins told multiple friends he “couldn’t fucking do it anymore.”

Drumming in hard rock groups is a fucken tough gig and only gets harder the older you get.

There’s a reason Bill Ward didn’t tour with Sabbath during their reunion. At 70 odd he simply wasn’t up to it. Sounds like Hawkins knew his time was up. Really sad.

@MN5 said in RIP 2022:

The Yes rhythm section did some great, complicated stuff very well indeed and now they’re both gone.

I'm happy I got to see Yes twice when they toured in the 2010s, when Chris Squire was still the band leader. In the latter concert they played all of Fragile and Close to the Edge.

Now, they're Yes in name only with only Steve Howe left from the classic lineup.

Most people don’t know Yes at all apart from “Owner of a broken heart” ( which I admit is a banger )

They’re no where near as well known as they should be compared to the Supergroups of that era. Genesis and Pink Floyd are kinda comparable but obviously far more famous.
