Am currently deciding what to listen to on the way home from work. After the disappointment of my lunch I need to nail this one.

My playlist for the journey home is as follows :

Sesto Bruscantini and Teresa Berganza - Non Piu Andrai

Renata Scotto, Luciano Pavarotti and Piero Cappuccilli - Chi Mi Frena In Tal Momento

Renata Scotto, Jose Carreras and Sesto Bruscantini - Libiamo Ne' lieti Calici

Sesto Bruscantini , Nicolai Ghiaurov and Alfredo Kraus - Finch'han Del Vino

Gianni Schicchi - O Mio Babbino Caro

Luciano Pavarotti and Renata Scotto - La Donna E Mobile

by Rowley Mon Jan 12, 2015 2:06 pm

I don't have any of those on my Ipod Union, so will not be following suit.

As an aside, how long does it take you to get home? That seems a fairly long playlist

by **Union Cane** Mon Jan 12, 2015 2:09 pm

15 to 20 minutes, usually. Each of those is only 3 - 4 minutes, so should be just right.

I have a Christmas card from a massive 80's music star and family.

He sent loads out though didn't he? I heard that 1 in 10 people got one.

by **Union Cane** Mon Jan 12, 2015 3:13 pm

You wouldn't have thought he'd believe in Christmas with a name like that.

by Rowley Mon Jan 12, 2015 3:13 pm

Who would have thought the subject of UB40 cropping up could kill a thread, we will have to tread carefully if it happens again.

by **Union Cane** Mon Jan 12, 2015 3:19 pm

Food for thought there, Jeff.

by **seanmichaels** Mon Jan 12, 2015 3:20 pm

My Mum is a recent acquaintance of his. I think his kids may go to her school. Probably why we had reggae pumping over Christmas lunch. Not sure it went with cherry (oh baby) trifle.

Lovely card though, written in gold felt tip.

Great T20 game with the Windies yesterday, Raf.

by kingraf Mon Jan 12, 2015 3:59 pm

Ridiculous game. David Miller hit one over the pavilion into the golf course... Thats easily 150m... Chris Gayle hit one into the top tier. Worrying though, at some point it'd be cheaper to just rack in some bowling machines.

Gayle hit one off Tahir that was just ridiculous. I think that might be the one that landed in the top tier.

Some chap in the crowd pulled off a blinding catch from one of Gayle's sixes.

Do people enjoy t20? I have never been able to get into it, much prefer the grinding tedium and elitism of a test match.

I prefer test cricket but I like T20 for a bit of fun and games. I'll put it into a context you'd understand, Jeff. Test cricket is like having a nice long, Radox infused bath with some Bublé coming through the wireless. T20 is like having a sh*t, a quick shower and then legging it down to Gregg's for a homity pie before the shop shuts.

I find 50 over stuff gets stuck in the middle and loses interest for me now.

Add in reading a frankly ridiculously long book about Joe Choynski and you have pretty much described my plans for the evening Tina.

He taught Jack Johnson some defensive techniques when they were in the slammer together.

There you go, you can stop reading now. Keep dipping your bucket, Jeff. It's no trouble.

by Rowley Mon Jan 12, 2015 4:25 pm

Whilst we're vaguely on the subject of boxing I was considering bringing back your real boxing heroes series or whatever it was called the other day Tina. Suppose it would be courteous of me to ask if you mind, do you?

Tino put some of your considerable wealth into purchasing this technology for Sean

I shall put my meager funds to purchase a specially adapted bum bag for him

He will be eternally happy

I didn't get more than a few miles when the headmaster's car picked me up. He was so angry he sent me to live at the borstal in Reading. I never saw the boarding school again.

That was very good G man. I bought my first pair of Nike trainers today. Quite comfortable and the sole is thicker than my regular ones which will make me look taller. Win all round.

I am indeed Jeff, and it is pretty grim here, makes me glad to be in work... Almost

Today I will be mainly absent from here due to being in meeting rooms talking gubbins to idiots.

by **Pal Joey** Tue Jan 13, 2015 8:07 am

We'll be thinking of you still, rick.

I have a bit of an excursion tomorrow. Have to pick up my new credit card from a branch nowhere me (used to always get it mailed to me?) and then go almost all the way up to Summer Bay to drop some forms off with the bare-footed accountant.

I'll keep an eye out for the fur seal and the shark which is now hovering around just off the beaches... somewhere.
