    Live Aid at 40

    My favorite of that era was the Ronnie James Dio-led Hear 'n Aid. Metal was a pariah on the airwaves at the time (funny to say that now) and the effort was obviously not to the same scale of We Are the World but in some ways it sent a stronger message about peoples assumptions.

    Gentle Comedies

    Leroy is the level-headed strait man to his uncle yet seems to be the opposite juggling Beth and his other lady friends : )

    Church bells by Sids.

    Amazing coordination. I would struggle to pay more attention to my bellmates (as opposed to listening to the delayed outcome) to get the timing right!

    National Maritime Museum (Greenwich, UK)

    Has anyone visited this location? Years ago, in the Navy, I worked for endless hours over a navigation product called a Dead Reckoning Table (DRT). It was a huge(ish), intricate glass-and-wood table - practically a work of art. They really were impressive pieces of engineering and craftsmanship...

    The Summerwine.net music thread

    Interesting acoustic cover of a prog (pre-megafame) Kansas song. On top of an outstanding execution, of note is the flute replacement for violin.

    How accurate a statement is this?

    https://screenrant.com/wallace-and-gromit-vengeance-most-fowl-movie-easter-eggs/ Judging by the picture. I seem to always remember a darker (thinner) outercoat. Definitely don't remember a yellow raincoat. The flatcap is spot on.

    Vengeance Most Fowl

    Just finished watching the latest Wallace and Gromit. Outstanding, I can't imagine the amount of work that went into that movie. I think Truly would have appreciated the name of the narrowboat belonging to the soon-to-be-retired Chief Inspector Mackintosh.

    Pippa , Jemima, Alisdair [dont dare say Alistair] and Sebastian

    This is more common than people would think. At public events or standing in queues. I've heard it called "humblebragging" but there's not much humble to it. =========================================== I have "asked" about if this and offer the following response as to why this is occurs.

    Midsummer Wine Day 2025

    I would like to have gone as well. Been modeling some airfares and unfortunately high season makes it cost prohibitive. Still kicking myself for missing out on 50th.

    Any of the member use Temu

    I have not, but have been tempted to try their endmills (for CNC woodworking) which are insanely cheap to the point they're sold in sets for half the price of individual. Disclaimer: These examples are not apples to apples in terms of quality. The individual example is from the source I commonly...

    Lost Time

    Commuting to and from work. At one point consumed as much as three hours out of my day. Never get that time back.
