I used to count myself a Bounty devotee. But I have to admit, over the last 2-3 Christmases, Snickers has come to supplant it as my favourite chocolate bar, I think.

What kind of service are Bournemouth's sponsors offering their customers?

Soooo one thing that crossed my mind is …

When I listen to a group or a singer LIVE on stage at a concert or on telly I try and sync all the different parts like the interesting guitar riffs or the complex drum fills or whatever ..


Now I can’t read music or understand all the technical terms and can’t play any instruments .

Anyways I just LOVE listening to music and especially LIVE stuff .

So I just wonder if it’s the same experience for a trained musician or even the very talented guys in the top rock bands .. I wonder if they can still enjoy the same way we do or are they more critical.. constantly noticing errors/ mistakes ..


Maybe they enjoy even more than us mere mortals


Sorry I can’t word my thoughts any clearer but hopefully some of you get the gist …

If you imagine that our Milky Way Galaxy we are in was the size of the USA

Then our sun would be 2 microns in size

What the hell !?!

Why mess with perfection ?

Longer but thinner and complete repackage - I walked past them on the shelves twice !

[Zizu]

Soooo got to wondering who’s the biggest female singer currently .. so best known or moat popular ??

My first thought was Taylor Swift but then I settled on Ariana Grande with all her hits and albums plus who is regularly on tv shows like SNL and Carpool Karaoke PLUS now a massive star in the Wicked ! movies

I’d place Dua Lipa in third place

Any thoughts ?

Mmmmm








I hate JamesBond movies but I realise that many in here absolutely love them

I will be interested to see their thoughts on this brave idea .

Now ..


Before the usual suspects all pile on I am probably one of the few who can count a non binary guy as a friend and ex colleague soooo


We worked together not long ago and hit it off as we are both on the spectrum …

…I’m not particularly a James Bond movie fan/…I’m not particularly a non fan either but it feels as though you don’t think that she would be right for such a role…(…having no idea whether it’s a role that will see Emma Corrin in or not…)…so it’s a bit of a hypothetical…?…I guess that I don’t know why you would begin to think though that the thought/idea is a ‘brave’ one…Emma Corrin played Lady Chatterley in a TV adaption of Lady Chatterley’s Lover…although I haven’t watched the series, she was cast as Diana Spencer/Princess Diana in The Crown…she’s cast in an upcoming adaption of Pride and Prejudice as Elizabeth Bennet/obviously another leading character role…why wouldn’t she be thought of in a James Bond movie role…she seems an obvious/rather than brave choice …but atm, it’s not even revealed and confirmed who will play the next James Bond, let alone any other casting or characters in the movie…

It’s nothing to do with anyone being right for the role because I have never heard of her until this moment and never knowingly watched any of her movies ..

It’s just that James Bond is a notorious womaniser who always gets the most gorgeous women … so falling for a non binary sounds slightly left-field on the face of it .

….I mean, I don’t know what roles you’ve seen her in but ‘gorgeous’ is in the eye of the beholder and the vein of roles that she had been cast in already would suggest that she’s someone who is considered gorgeous by many beholders, myself included…I sincerely can’t think why this would feel a brave decision …(…if the role is even any more than another media rumour/speculation etc…)…for an actress whose previous character portrayal have been of what have been considered to be ‘gorgeous people’ to be be cast as a gorgeous person…I mean, it accurately describes what her physical appearance is for very many…

[Ammi]

…so this is not something that made me ponder as such but more something that I hadn’t known but I’ll pop it in this thread…and mainly @Niamh. ….you may have seen this photo before and been aware of Cillian Murphy’s short music career before acting but this apparently was taken at Cork bus station so I thought of you, obviously…



…a Son of Mr Green Genes isn’t the most catchy name for a boy band ever but apparently they were very good until Mr and Mrs Cillian Murphy senior said, no…go get a proper job…actually it wasn’t so much for Cillian, it was his younger brother who was also part of the band and only 18yrs old at the time and when he no longer stayed, they just drifted apart, I think…

…the photo isn’t showing so hopefully the link to it will be ok…

…I saw the photo on Graham Norton when his early music career was being discussed, so googled it…it was difficult to find a copy of the pic that wasn’t behind a paid for wall…Taylor Swift was also on that show and early career recording deals were being discussed, the band was actually offered a 5 year contract and looked very promising but Cillian’s parents didn’t want that as an ‘unpredictable career and future’ for his younger brother… so when he didn’t continue with the band, they just filtered apart…but they did have a promising and recognised talent by a record company who offered the contract…

I couldn't care less what nonsense she presents to the world in order to hang a label around her own neck. A skinny child-woman who looks more like a 14 year old boy is not what I think of as a Bond Girl. And this is one of the reasons why the Bond franchise is dying on its arse. They had a chunky black woman playing 008. Like she could slip unnoticed into Russia, or China... or a host of other countries... That's not racist, it's realism. The start of the last Bond film began with his arguing with his girlfriend in the car. Come on! James Bond doesn't have girlfriends, he picks the most beautiful women, he loves 'em and he leaves 'em. I hope they stop trying to make Bond and the whole Bond world something it's not to please people who are not really Bond fans while antagonising those who are. Or they're finished. Forever.
