Saw T Rex at Liverpool Uni students union in the late 60s, quite enjoyed it but confess most of my listening was done at the Philharmonic Hall. Vividly remember seeing a youthful Kyung Wha Chung give an outstanding performance, but can't recall of what! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Thanks, Mark. And thank you, Steve, on the other thread. I now belong to Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I don't like any of them. Oh, my collection as of today shows 7773 images. I'll put up 4 more and have 7777. That has to be good luck.

I don't bother with social websites like Instagram and Twitter (I am not a bird) either. Joined Facebook only to be able to join PSP group.

A great time to get images with no pesky folks around. Ed, I hope you clean up. You are fortunate in that way if in no other. Alas I have no legitimate reason to go into central London.

Ed Rooney Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 I can handle two compliments, Gen. That new snap was taken by my old friend Annette from Dublin. I managed to remove the large bottle of wine that was sitting on the table between us. Edo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert M Estall Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 There seem to be an endless supply of people who think kids should experience horse riding. Why, we don't all have a crack at lion taming?. Our neighbour put a carthorse in his back garden and we all were sat on his very broad back for a few minutes. He was from Alberta and just felt the need for a horse. He only had 1/2 an acre although there was a little bit of field behind where he could tether it. I can't remember anyone taking it for a ride and there was no shelter for the winter so that venture didn't last long. At least he didn't roll on anyone. Any pony rides in Liverpool?

It was a strange feeling waking up in an unknown white room. I figured it was a hospital but why was I here? Oh what's this photo of me on a horse by the bed? At the back of it, my husband had written in bullet points a summary of what had happened. At the end of the list, it said 'if you don't remember, go back to the top'... Cool guy...

Thyrsis Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Last time I was on horseback was 1992 in Spain. (We were lucky enough to go to the Olympics) There’s a short video of me failing to get off the horse, my legs just couldn’t reach the ground.....it cracks Ian and the kids up every time they watch it!! No idea why! 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
