When you say sing to the original, what style do you mean?Quote:

I ruled out the original style and am considering free-form jazz with a bit of skat but because I am in the garden I am sensing the neighbours starting to be restless.
Lennon has a lot of achievements to his name but he clearly never ‘imagined’ how to recreate his song in a different style in a Jedburgh garden!
Bollocks. I had Randy Matson.Quote:

For some of us the battles between Dallas Crutcher Long and Randy Matson exemplified sport as it was intended to be.Quote:

‘’Phallic” was maybe just a Freudian slip.
Oh, I hope that wasn’t the entirety of your answer.Quote:

If that happens I will definitely pick up the shirt sponsorship for whoever comes after Jack Ross and John Potter on the coaching bench. We are all Hibs.
If I was a USA citizen, you’d definitely get my vote. ✅Quote:

His latest interview.......
https://twitter.com/axios/status/129...489348096?s=19
Loathe as I am to bring this thread back to Trump, I've just watched some of his interview with Jonathan Swan, which was broadcast on HBO last night. The man is beyond parody.
The bit about Coronavirus in the US is startling; he brings out paper charts to show Swan and persuade him on his argument. Basically, his argument is that the relevant figure is "deaths per number of confirmed cases" rather than "deaths per head of population". He then refers to not getting enough credit for the US doing more testing than any other country. He's so out of his depth that he'd almost engender sympathy if the situation wasn't so serious and he wasn't such a ****.
I understand why people would be suspicious that Trump may try to hold onto power if he loses the election, but the man I see is simply not capable of doing so.
You can't do that.Quote:

You have to wonder why Trump agrees to be interviewed by him when he is so clearly intellectually inferior.
Obviously # of deaths per head of population is a different and more meaningful statistic than # of deaths per cases when forming a view on how effective any countrys response to CV is. But do Trump voters appreciate that? Do they even care? Does Trump realise what he’s saying doesn’t really stand up but is just ploughing through anyway, either lost in a narcissistic dream state or just hoping his core support don’t notice or don’t care?

If he doesn't agree to be interviewed by people who are intellectually superior to him, he doesn't do interviews? :hmmm:Quote:

It's almost unthinkable that someone that stupid, that ignorant, and that much of an idiot, could wind up as President of the USA, but here we are.
I don't have sympathy for him, he's a racist, a misogynist, a bully, and a liar (on top of being an idiot).
He doesn't appear to have a shred of decency about him, either. Just bluster and aggression.
If you watch the whole interview - you actually cringe all the way through. Trump is totally delusional.
