I hadn't heard of Jack Karlson until today, although the Australians amongst us probably will. Scroll down to watch the video - I needed a lovely gurgle today amidst all this horrible news :

'Jack Karlson, who shot to fame after ‘succulent Chinese meal’ arrest, dies aged 82

Karlson immortalised the phrase ‘this is democracy manifest’ in what has been described as Australia’s pre-eminent meme'

Quincy Jones

Born March 14, 1933, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.

Died November 3, 2024 (aged 91), Los Angeles, California, U.S.

Simply a musical legend of his time who's contribution to RnB, Soul and jazz music should never be under estimated. 

Record producer, songwriter, composer, arranger, and film and television producer.

He worked with many of the soul and jazz legends himself, and he has a back catalogue of material I urge you to listen to and enjoy.

He will be sadly missed.

I was lucky enough to see West play Brunel in the state opening of St Pancras International.

Just found out that Penny Wooly/Archer died at the age of 105, playing the part until she was 103 - and the character about to celebrate her 100th on the programme

    • agreed Mal and it's not like this new govt is above criticism - there is plenty to worry about or think they are misguided on - but overall there is just about a sense of necessary correction, and that the specific criticism from some on here isn't really all that objective I get they are super unpopular - but anyone voting for ANY party at the last election and thinking a new govt of any hue would be able to turn on taps and make everyone happy given the state of everything was just not taking politics, governance or their own choices seriously enough

    • What did the last lot do?  Cost of postage has gone up well above inflation for years.   This thread does feel like Labour bashing and in particular knocking the PM and Chancellor. You didn't see the Telegraph, Mail and Express knocking 14 years of incompetence by the last lot, in particular the unnecessary programme of austerity that led to the massive decline in public services, the silly idea to have a referendum on leaving the EU and the worst of the lot not borrowing to underpin growth when interest rates at an all time low. It feels like many of you have drunk in everything the aforementioned papers print.
    • " increasing costs, red tape and inflation" yet when Brexit did this people were told to stop remaining Governments are not run like household budgets "It's amazing that the government have been daft enough to pick a fight with farmers - Alastair Campbell commented that he did react with shock when it was announced in the budget as, he said, you don't start a fight with farmers."   And this sounds more like a protection racket than anything else
