Not a surprise, but you have to feel sorry for all of the vendors there, who probably though they were on to a winner getting a food stall there. Live music was still pretty good, but singing to a non-existent audience.

Wait. I am not joking. Were you sitting behind me? I was sitting on the table behind this guy with the Russian shirt & stunning beautiful wife.

Also your BluPort photos are almost identical to mine 🤔

Does anyone know the name of the band who did the AC/DC covers?

Pete, you wouldn't happen to be on the board of Tesco-Lotus would you? These tracks, played on a continuous loop, sound familiar.

I guess I like sounds from home, but it always seems a little disingenuous in the land where it has been explained to me Christmas is about birth of Santa under a Christmas tree

Appreciate the music though.

Wait a few days and you're going to get the perpetual Christmas fireplace video with continuous music. Best watched in a chair in front of an open refrigerator with a Retriever curled up at your feet. :shock:

The problem with you Aussie guys is that Christmas is at the wrong time of year! :laugh: :thumb: :cheers:

PS: I had to delete your Santa on a cross photo as offensive to some.

Damn. Is she old enough to understand what's going on, or is she a little one? That's really sad and I'll keep her and you all in my thoughts. :(

Well that's not good news - sorry to hear. Hope she recovers quickly.

Thanks chaps. She'll be 16 in a few weeks and just has a cold. It's a bit of a pain for all concerned, but not a complete disaster - we'll just postpone our get-together until New Year's Eve.

Okay. I apologize. I forgot that majority is no longer a functional word in our society. The majority need to adjust our beliefs and rights to satisfy the delicate bubble wrapped minority.

Wishing her a speedy recovery.

Side note: Just keep her chained to the bedstead for another 14 days and we are all fine 😀

No Thunderstruck but I did go to the tour in Sydney at the Entertainment Centre.

The Band the other night ripped out the classics, was drinking a beer & enjoying it.

Curious to know who they were, bring them back
