how come?

[robgil]

we are kind of hoping ours will be late , it will give me a chance to get our bathroom done.

Make the most of the time you've got now Robgil - I used to complain before we had kids that I didn't have time to get things done. 3 children later, I now realise that wasn't really true.........

i am making the most of it, by sitting up at 1.45 in the morning listening to old soundgarden records while drinking a bottle of my neighbours home made cider.

 

[Feltwell]

That is making the most of it!

- Decent music (I always liked Soundgarden) - before long you'll find yourself humming "wheels on the bus", trust me! (It does change again - my 4 year old son's favourite song to hear in the car is now Blackened by Metallica.....)

- Cider at 1:45am - you'll be up at 1:45am again soon enough, but without the cider :wink:

 

[robgil]

i suppose i could hum the wheels on the bus in an axel rose accent. 'the weels on the bus go rou ao ao oun ound and rou ou oun ou au nd'.

The Toy Dolls punk-ish version of Nellie the Elephant has always been a great favourite with my kids.

Talking of elephants, Syd Barret's 'Effervescencing Elephant' was a great favourite of young FF jnr.

But it works both ways and Jungle Book was one of my favourite films and I was pleased when it was released on DVD as we had almost worn out the old videotape version.

Syd Barret

Poor old Syd.

Funnily enough as I read your post I was listening to PF's "Echoes" - a "best of" compilation (as you probably know). The song was "Shine On You Crazy Diamond".

 

[Flyfisher]

A fine choice. Echoes, the song, is a personal favourite.

Poor old Syd indeed (and my apologies for misspelling his surname ).

Oooh timely thread. I have seen Pink Floyd live three times and last night went to see Australian Pink Floyd. Really good show.

Bravo. I can only claim one and a half (the half was a Roger Waters concert) plus a couple of Think Floyd ones.

I can thoroughly recommend Dave Gilmour's 'Live In Gdansk' DVD as well, which, sadly, contains the last recorded performances of Rick Wright.

Lol at Rob being Pink :lol:

I saw them outside at Knebworth in 1975 amazing, spitfire over our heads, phenomenal sound and it was Dark Side of the Moon plus loads more. WOW.

Then in 1980 we sold my hubbies drum kit, jumped on a plane, bought tickets outside and just got inside in time to see The Wall at London. AMAZING.
Then we had to hitch hike home, it took us days because it took all our money for the plane and tickets :roll:

In 1988 I was really lucky to have them playing really near. After Roger had left and we weren't sure if they were going to be any good :lol: Saw them at Maine Rd football ground
in Manchester. A mixed concert but amazing.

Ditto his solo album, "On An Island". Wonderfully haunting stuff.
