Why did the chicken cross the road?

To get to the idiot’s house

Knock knock

Who’s there?

The chicken

(Not particularly an “only the AWers” joke)

@Tiggerlion – yeah I kind of knew that’s what you meant.

Unfortunately in these times we need to be so careful about how we express this stuff.

Cheers

@SteveT – yes we do (“have a greater hold…”). All the best for your son.

@Tiggerlion “I hope NZ resets some thinking about Muslims” – I don’t think NZ has the same kind of issues with Muslims that exist in other Western countries. Remember this lunatic who shot the 49 people dead was […]

Horrible sentimental crap! (IMHO)

Banned in NZ so I never heard it! Letdown when I eventually did

This…”Honky Tonk Women”

I have a pair of Rogers LS3/5A speakers that I bought in the late 80s and they still sound fine. Sometimes I wonder if my hearing is deceiving me but then I listen to the remastered Village Green Preservation […]

@Mike_H Tend to agree. I definitely prefer earlier to later. I love the early Mothers, then the Waka Jawaka/Grand Wazoo period, then that golden mid 70s run, including what was later released as Lather (Studio Tan […]

I have a family sub to iTunes which means 5 people have unlimited access to any music. It’s brilliant. I also use iTunes for my weekly radio program – prepare on my studio computer and there it is on my laptop o […]

Yes if I’d agree about The Who and The Kinks. Stones would be mid-period for me – Let it Bleed, Exile.

SEEN – Roma. Beautiful, just […]

Well obviously it’s not a cardio workout. It’s just stretches and breathing, all very slow (which I love). You use muscles that you didn’t know were there, not like weights or heavy gym stuff. It’s kind of […]

I walk most mornings, 30-40 mins down to Bondi Beach and back up the hill. I have some back stretches and mild weights things I got from my osteopath. But the best thing of all is Tai Chi, a weekly class for […]

A long time ago I put on Side Two of Frank Zappa’s Weasels Ripped My Flesh in a slightly discombobulated state, and was enthralled by The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue at 45 rpm.

You too can try this folks, I r […]

TMR has been done – on Jack White’s Third Man Records

I too always knew it was going to be a good News Quiz when he was announced on the panel.

Half the time I had no idea what they were talking about (being on the other side of the world) but he and Sandy Toksvig […]

Peter Jackson is a control freak

So is Paul McCartney

Presumably they have sorted out some kind of agreement now, and I hope it ends up happily
