I have worked out how to get You Tube on the new Sky box so now the lucky neighbours can listen to Wimoweh blasting out of my tele.


How can you not like Karl Denver?

It doesn't really matter what I am singing along to, it still sounds like a bad version of Karl Denver's Wimoweh!

Had another go on You Tube yesterday.

I know I like the Pastoral Symphony, I have always had it in my van or car, so I thought I would try another bit of Beethoven. Put on the Moonlight Sonata and found it dull, dull, dull, so I wen to one that was called 'Relaxing Beethoven' and guess what was the first thing to be played!

OH has some Rachmaninov on at the moment but it's not Karl Denver!

My neighbours had a treat yesterday :-D

On our family holiday this year, we're having a family gathering 'Pirate' day, in honour of our illustrious forebears.
Eldest daughter was in Cornwall this time last year, and saw a band singing sea shanties.
She wondered if we could do this on Pirate day.
Ooooh Yees! :-D :-D

So, yesterday, younger daughter was here on her way home from holiday, and I was looking after elder daughter's sons whist she was at work.
When eldest came to pick the boys up, we had about an hour of practicing.

It was a hot day, all the windows were open, and we sang with gusto, even though none of us can 'sing'.

'Trelawney' went down very well - though not a shanty, it's 'our' song :-D :-D

I regard it as repayment for having to listen to their radio when they're out in the garden, and the 'private' phone calls they make (outside) at 98 decibels :-D :-D

Caroline Report 4 Jun 2018 01:31

OMG I've got their relatives next to me...do yours turn the radio up so they can hear it over their lawnmower?

maggiewinchester Report 4 Jun 2018 07:41

Yes! :-|
...and the hammering - and then they shout above the radio :-| :-| :-|

Caroline

Caroline Report 4 Jun 2018 11:54

Yes!

Mind you mine just shout never actually talking.....

Revving motorbikes that make the house shake???

One of the sons had a motorbike for a time - but he's very adept at revving his car.
Oh - and slamming more doors than there are in the house :-| :-|
