@nprofile1q... my brother played the drums, it drove the neighbours insane... To be fair he got pretty good at it.

These days I think he is happier with the guitar! So I can't offer any relevant advice...

@nprofile1q... well he is also the king of Australia...

Pub quiz question. Jo many times has the king or queen of England visited Australia/Canada etc?

The answer is never, as they were the king or queen of Australia/Canada at the time of their visit.

@nprofile1q... oh dear, been there, done that and have the T-shirt... Hope you make a speedy recovery.

@nprofile1q... B5 was brilliant, though the final series was screwed up by the studios (where have we heard that before?). For the time and budget the effects were amazing.

I always thought the politics were overly simple and blunt, but now living through the same I realise that they were painfully accurate.

@nprofile1q... not for me, I'm not allowed to vote where I live and my party doesn't stand in France. Previously I did distribute leaflets, even with the dubious "Winning Here" bar graphs.

I gave too make do with cycling and walking my mother-in-law's dog.

@nprofile1q... given how little exercise most adults get and how awful the British diet has been allowed to slip to, combined with lackluster wage growth and inflation I'm amazed it's only as modest as they say...

Mind you, falling life span should make pensions cheaper and annuity rates better...

@nprofile1q... missed what?

@nprofile1q... ?
