    Is anyone watching Malpractice? It's a brilliant, well-acted drama series on ITV - about the stresses & strains felt by NHS staff to meet targets etc. Another 👍 from me!

    Very much enjoyed Kathryn but you could have said it was a film not a series, we assumed it was going to continue, hooked and ready for episode 2 ,credits rolled then nothing 🤣🤣, as you say well worth a watch.

    Sorry - my mistake! I'll remember for next time xx

    I suspect it was not malicious but an accident by a contractor working up there , the video footage shows nothing to suggest it was deliberate.

     

    It would be nice to believe that's true! The nest was big enough to see - maybe he was walking around on the rooftop with his eyes closed?🤔

    BBC1 'This City Is Ours'.....oosh!

    I'm half way through binge watching it...........like Soul-Slider said.......OOOOSH!!!!!!!😮😮😮

    I've just binge-watched A Cruel Love on ITVX - about Ruth Ellis, the last woman in England to be hanged. Definitely recommended - it's well worth watching - she should never have faced the death penalty at all.😢

    Just finished watching Our World War on BBCiplayer - it's an oldie, but I've only very recently found it. Gritty, violent, thought-provoking & harrowing, but well worth watching.😢

    I am a crap dancer do I need lessons ? No , I'm great at being a crap dancer . 

    Looks like the Divs have won . A few years ago we were all discussing New Blood well this is what it looks like .  Be careful what you wish for folks .

    My thoughts exactly Mark

    I have a few friends who have had treatment for prostate cancer - all got through it successfully apart from one. A good few years ago, one of my close friends  knew that her husband had a problem. She'd tried for months on end to reason with him - begged & pleaded - cajoled - nagged & bullied him to see the doctor, but he refused outright - head buried very deeply in the sand - until it was far too late & he was way beyond treatment. He spent his final days being cared for in a hospice. 

    Very sad, heart-breaking story, but there's a lesson to be learned here guys - look after yourselves & please don't leave it too late to seek help!

    My heart goes out to anyone living with this or any other form of cancer.❤️

    To me, AI will always look like some "plastic" creation - it will never be able to replicate the buzz that we all felt when en route to an all-nighter........ the sweat running down the walls of some grubby old cellar with the music bouncing off the walls..... that gritty atmosphere that we all remember so fondly.....walking out on a Sunday morning blinking in the sunlight (or shivering in the cold!) with the music still ringing in our ears........AI will never - ever - be able to do that!

    For those who haven't already seen this great video of Plebs , Halifax 1967. They seem to be having a good time especially the girl at 1min 17 secs. Anyone go there or know anyone in the clip?

     

     

     

     

    I went there a few times but mostly went to The Wheel. Can't see any faces I recognise but it was SO many years ago! You're right Rick - they all do look to be having a good time...some big eyes there...:rolleyes:😜

    I was at The Twisted Wheel most weekends from 1966-70 & saw some brilliant bands there - way too many to list them all! The Drifters. Junior Walker, Ike & Tina, Root & Jenny Jackson,  Oscar Tony Jr, Jimmy James, J.J. Jackson, Jimmy Ruffin, Jamo Thomas, Bandwagon, Flamingos..........that's just off the top of my head - I could go on forever! I tried a few other clubs - Golden Disc in Keighley - Plebs in Halifax - Birdtrap in Burnley - String o Beads in Bradford to name just a few - but the Wheel was always favourite.

    Happy days - we didn't realise at the time just how lucky we were!

    Is anyone watching Virdee on BBC1? All filmed in Bradford (my home city) & it's interesting to see all those familiar locations on the telly! Doesn't do much for Bradford's already tarnished reputation, but it's well worth a look!

    Jesus.....that's it! Wow...I have goosebumps. I had this "so come on and make a dream come true" with a bit more passion in my mind but that is exactly the song. Wow. Thank you so much. 

    Tell me, how did you do it? If googled it with exactly the lyrics I posted a 100 times and even ChatGPT was clueless.....Amazing Kathryn, thank you!

    I just googled it & it came up straight away - must be my magic touch! 😀 Glad I could help.

    Looks and sounds like a bandwagon leap on the hot subject of the moment from another outsider attempting to cash in... Other than that, this just sounds like horribly processed AI effort at best and a lazy attempt with preset samples on very basic recording software.
     

    My thoughts exactly!

    As well as the upstairs coffee bar room, there was a 2nd room upstairs. This was beyond the stairs down to the dance areas / stage room. This room was usually almost empty & always cold, but you had to go through it to reach the gents.

    We all used to call it "The Cold Room" - I remember it well Roburt - too cold & smelly (the gents!) to stay in there for long! I would always have a look in at some point during the night to see if I knew anyone in there, but rarely stayed for long cos of the strong pong!  I've never found a photo of the room, although I vaguely recall a few of us sitting in there chatting to Jimmy Cliff one night.
