Sylvs...

Back in 1975 we were at my Cousin's wedding and OH, my two youngsters and I were sitting in the reception area of the hotel before we went into the wedding breakfast...

Other patrons of the hotel were wandering around as well as the wedding guests..

One of the hotel guests sat next to me... and yep it was Buffy Sainte-Marie..

Later on when my youngest (she was 10 months old at wedding) used to watch Sesame Street I told her that she had met Buffy.

I rather like her singing..

Persie..

Pers, who is Buffy Sainte-Marie?


Dea, I'll be round for a paddle later...bringing my rubber duck too :-D

You will be very welcome Ginns but with grandson here you will have to be prepared for a good soaking !!!!!!! :-D

Dea Xxx

I like splashing!


Garage door man has just left me with a bill for nearly £600 :-0

Sylvs mentioned Buffy St Marie earlier as she was at one of the "party party party" events that Sylvs keeps going to.....

Canadian Indian (Cree) singer.. you can google her Gins and there are some of her on youtube...

Buffy St Marie with lyrics :-D

About 40 years ago when my mum worked for a cassette factory they had to test the quality of the recordings...and someone rejected this recording :-D

Just listened Ja...x


Not suprised :-0

Oh my gawd Ja...x - I don't remember her being quite that AWFUL !!!

I have just realised what a wondferful singer 'I' am. I didn't reckon much to my singing voice before, but if what I have just listened to can be called a 'singing voice', then mine is about 100 times better ! ;-) :-D :-D

I knew she warbled and I used to like that song... also she did "Until its time for you to go"which I liked, listened to it today and was not sure

ja...x

Hilda Ogden.........now she was a good singer ;-)

By comparison Ginns - she surely was !! :-D

..........and I can (and have) do a very good impression of Hilda singing "There'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover". Bet you're sorry you've never heard me...... :-D :-D



Went to hairdressers today and she was telling me how the Olympic Torch(es) being carried around, are given to the people who carry them. Apparently, a couple of the first people to carry have sold their torches on EB for upwards of £100,000!! Just how true that is, I know not but.....???



It's coming our way next week. Wow! I think I'll find a wall to paint and watch it dry....... :-D


Just waiting for a visitor.............

Will your 'visitor' be tall, dark and handsome Cynthia ?? ;-) :-D

Hello All,
Persie D-I-L hasn't said she wants us to go their the problem is last time I suggested it it went down like a lead balloon :-(

mind you I dont know if I would have wanted my M-I-L at mine not that she ever kept them for a full day :-)

sorry to hear you are leaving us :-(

Sylvia what a busy time you are having

The "girlfriend" has asked us if we want to go to the coast tomorrow!
might be an olive branch but the problem is all this has set off my IBS again and totally undone all the good of our holiday.

We had GD yesterday and I finally got to collect my new specs and yes "I can see clearly now" :-D

We then got back into car to take her to the park I can hear her ripping paper in the back seat but thought it ws just leaflets that had fell out of the paper.

We park the car and OH jumps out to get GD out as he does I turn round in time to see Gd toss something onto the back seat.

OH says the wee devil she had been into his folder that he keeps all his car stuff in :-D :-D

Luckily it was only a receipt for when he had the AA out to change a tyre :-)

I couldnt stop laughing at the way she had tossed it onto the seat as Grampa was going to get her :-D

Hi all

I'm not sure that I liked Buffy St Marie .............. some very good recordings, some just plain awful!


But she was huge in Canada and the US in the 60s and 70s ........ and was always part of the protest movements.

I think many of the awards she has received, including the one yesterday, are as much for her achievements outside the music industry.


I was surprised at how tiny she was! Only about 5'4" or 5' 5" ....... somehow, I've always had the impression that she was much taller

Cyn


the story I've been reading re the Olympic torches are .................


they cost around £450 to make

people can buy the one they carried for £200

some have been offered on eBay ........ one sold for around £145,000. That woman was allegedly selling it to raise money for a charity that she supported.

there was a thread on Chat that directed people to another entry on eBay .................... the bids had reached £245,000. The kicker was that it was for a PHOTO of a torch :-S :-S :-S



so yes, people are making loads of money out of the torches ................ and others are proving that there really is "one born every minute" :-D

Hi Linda


can you control your IBS with Imodium???


It works for me, and it was a doctor's suggestion for an untreatable condition!



Hope it all works out.
