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

Yes, Kamala wasn't even heard of here. But Trump will win as I've been saying for ages. He has the money to make it happen. Col

I've already said, - A) it's the republicans turn at running the asylum. B) Kamala is too late in the running. C) Despite the fact that Trump can barely speak anything of interest or anything which is becoming of a world leader, he will tie Kamala up in the September debate. Providing the...

Doc, I knew all that, I was being obtuse. It would be nice to see someone comment on the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs of my post though. Col

Sorry to upset you all but TDS is not a recognised disease or syndrome in the International Classification of Diseases used worldwide. I'm amazed at how many hours those here have spent arguing over the Presidential election. Of course Trump will win, its the republicans turn to win so those...

What is TDS? Col

Actually, I have various topics it would be interesting to discuss with our American friends but I'll not bother because any topic is turned into an American political slagging off, just as it is in dozens of other non political threads. There is a special political forum for Americans to...

Yes, Spotify is a wonderful invention, whatever your music taste - its there. It's certainly better than arguing over stupid politics. Actually, I feel quite 'modern' using it. Having turned my back on computers and databases etc. I seem to have reverted to life of 50 years ago, it's much...

All I'm saying is the BBC news pronounce her first name differently to American reporters. I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition. Col

If she's from Jamaica, how come she was born in Oakland California? Col

Sorry I asked a civil question. Col

I'm confused as to what the Obama's have got to do with this election. What difference does it make what he says, he retired isn't he? Maybe he is a senator? What about the wife? She's just an ex first lady. Col

It must be one of those weird American things like 'AreKinSaw'. If her name is spelt 'Kamala' then the first two letters should be pronounced 'Ka' not 'Ko'. Col

Not so sure. The second letter is an 'a' not an 'o'. You don't pronounce 'a' as 'o'. Col

I wasn't aware Mr Biden had relinquished power to Mrs Harris. We don't get all the USA political news in the UK, up until about 3 weeks ago we had never heard of Mrs Harris. Actually, quick question. How do you correctly pronounce her first name? The BBC news says Kamala (like Pamela)...
