Forget it then. Sorry I spoke. I've deleted the post as it doesn't meet your approval. I forgot you represent the UK populace.

I agree Pat. Wherever you are in the world you need to be careful, especially if you're not familiar with the area. It's the same in the UK, Spain, France or wherever. Of course you don't run round waving guns and shooting. I'm not that stupid, I don't know why the USA TV programme makers...

I never said you did. Because we are flooded with Z rated American TV programmes that always show killings violence and assassination, plus what we see on the BBC news and in the papers. Plus people here admit to gun ownership and the keenness to kill someone like a burglar, but at the same...

I thought JFK and Bobby Kennedy were politicians. Then the attempt on Reagan. Was it Lincoln assassinated in a theatre? Does Trump count as a politician? But the most important assassination was John Lennon - not a politician true, but worldwide is much more important than any of the others. The...

Surely the modern American way is to just assassinate them, get a sniper to do it, from what we see on TV there's plenty of deranged Americans who will oblige. Col

As a follow on to the what phone thread. It seems many here have modern phones that do loads of things. So, how much do you pay monthly? Is it worth it? I pay £7.50 ($10) for my monthly contract. I bought my iPhone on ebay for £80 about 10 or 12 years ago. I have a SIM only contract with O2 for...

Why not send a card by post? I do. Col

How about those social medium sites. You hear how people are corrupted, or seduced into unsavoury meetings etc etc. Sites like Tik Tak, instamatic or face ache, or that site owned by that car maker who's name is like an aftershave, are they any good or just a money maker for the owners? What is...

There was a thing on the telly recently about the fact that most people have all their personal details on their mobile phone - bank details, card pin numbers, email, passwords etc etc. Walk down any city street and you see people on their mobile, or (particularly girls) with their mobile phone...

Iphone SE really old. Only use it for texts. Seldom make a call on it. The best app is Freecell. I go days sometimes never using it. I would never have email or bank stuff on it - wouldn't know how to put it on anyway. The less I use it the better. Col

I think it is virtually impossible to say this genre of music is better than that genre. Everyone has a preference to a particular style, be it country, rock, heavy metal or classical etc etc. Each genre has its merits. Wouldn't it be a sad place if we all liked the same. Col

But the good news is. . . . . . . Col

I disagree, particularly with Cliff. When you think he started in 1958 with 'Move It', arguably the first rock and roll record by a UK artist. Then he had various number one's then survived the onslaught of The Beatles who wiped out many popular artists, then Cliff developed from 'bubblegum' pop...

How about a retirement place in Florida with a warden assisted facility should he need it. The gardens are taken care of by an illegal Mexican. All he has to do is relax and enjoy. Col

Ray Stevens? Isn't he the bloke who did 'Bridget the Midget' and another one about a flasher? I like ABBA, particularly like 'Fernando' and their harmonies and music arrangements are particularly good. Much better than modern shite. Col

Doc, I agree with your first two selections - to quote George Harrison 'rap is crap'. But I do like country music, to clarify, not the old 'yee-ha' stuff of Tex Ritter or Slim Whitman. I prefer 'modern' country music like Garth Brooks, Sawyer Brown, Crystal Gale, Reba McEntire or Pam Tillis etc...

I'm afraid the 1980's is a bit too modern for me. I'm more the 1950's and 60's when I was a teenager. Col

The positive is that he was not shot dead, like JFK or Bobby or Martin. Anyone who wishes him (or anyone) dead has to have a screw loose. Col

So you think Trump will win too. And you're much more on the pulse than me. I'm a foreigner. Col

I said that in post#323. Col
