1980!!!
I thought mine did greatly lasting 14 years!
That is good to hear about your college friend.

A good life for a washing machine , Aristo!
Can't beat my 41 years for a tumbler dryer tho!

Evening everyone,

I feel like I have just come back from a journey in the Middle Ages!

After some bad road accident, the whole village (and probably surroundings) had no power for nearly 3 hours, hence no TV /DVD, no Internet hence no Skype, no kettle for coffee, fridge starting to defrost with this heat and no ceiling fan either !!! All this with an outdoor temp of 35 plus.

Makes you wonder how did people manage without the things we so much take for granted?

P.P.S.
Rusty, I've been trying all evening to remember who it was that Bing Crosby portrayed in another film about a young priest......(didn't want to give in and google it!)
I've finally got it! as far as I am aware, it was an entirely fictitious character, called Father Chuck O'Malley!
The film was "Going My Way"
There was a sequel, too, but that hasn't come to me yet.....

Once upon a time, long, long ago, he played a priest in The Bells of St Mary's.
Any good?
I liked Bing, he was a good singer, too.
I could not stand Sinatra.
Liked Dean Martin.

Pigale, that is hot!
I am meant to get nice weather tomorrow.
It will be a nice change!

That's it, Rusty, you've got it!!!!!
"The Bells of St . Marys" was the sequel to "Going My Way"!
It's been bugging me ever since we spoke about Father Flanagan!
Btw, was I right in what I said earlier about Father F needing two miracles to be proved before he can be canonised? Seems a bit odd?
Now, re Bing......I was brought up listening to Bing! My Dad was a keen fan and played Bing songs repeatedly.
I've got loads of old 78s that I still play !
Bing, Karen Carpenter and Katie Melua are my all time favourites!

I am not sure about the miracles.
There have been several boxes of stuff sent to Rome.
I like Bing and Dean Martin for ballads, Pete Seeger, Don Williams, Dwight Yoakam, and I think Elvis had a great voice, but often a poor choice of songs, and certainly dreadful films. His career could have been a lot better. I do not know Katie Melua.
There are a few lady singers I like. Emmylou Harris, Joan Baez, Enya, Faith Hill.
My favourite composers are Verdi and Vivaldi.
Folk music is my favourite, and light classical.
Pretty square!

Have a strange one on Hudl, Elle.
The clock is slow on "network provided time"?
My network is BT.
Wonder what's up?

Morning, Rusty!
(and a very early one , it was so hot, I couldn't sleep!)
Sorry, I didn't see your query about the Hudl last night......I've never had this come up on MY screen, but I googled " network provided time Hudl" and got several websites providing info....unfortunately it meant little to me (over my head) but it may to you......try it?
Let me know what happens!
I agree with you about the singers you mentioned - love Bing (as said), Dean Martin, I DO like Frank Sinatra, ( esp in his later years), Pete Seeger, Don Williams - afraid I don't know Dwight Yoakam? or wait....was he "Suspicious Minds"? but don't know any other of his songs.
I like Joan Baez - like Julie Felix too (very similar to Joan )
I like Elvis to listen to (films horrendous), also .....the Big Bopper, Eddie Cochran, Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly......
Remember the Buddy Holly concert I went to on holiday in Lowestoft last year, when everyone was dancing in the aisles?
I enjoy light classical music.
We listen to Classic FM in the car! (not terribly high brow but I enjoy it)
