Barb was brilliant last night. Just her, piano and double bass and she did a Setlist that was all Bob Dylan songs. She does a unique arrangement on them and then tells stories between the songs related to them and her experiences. Did you know it wa…

So tonight we are out to a Jazz club, the Fleece, to see Barb Jungr. Billed as the love child of Edith Piaf and Nick Cave who was then adopted by Carmen McRea, she interprets Jacque Brel (remember the opening piano and bass line from Jo on TOU) Leon…

I hope so. He has been a loyal Goldfrapp contributer for many years. Remember the time he had been on the pop one night and filled about 20 pages? Hilarious! Who's going to tell us Cajun jokes?

Colin Blunstone - Say You Don't Mind Reminds me of both Goldfrapp TOU and the Beatles, which is obviously the string quartet. @Whickwithy would have liked this. You still out there WW?

While we waited for things to start, we sat in the inner compound as it got dark, drinking. Near the equator, it goes dark between 6 and 6.30 all year round. Not like here, hour and a half of getting dark, over 10 minutes, light, then dark. Anyway, …

In that bottom picture, both the outside dogs are typical Rozzy's. Nico is depicted usually as a black dog with a white stripe. Bandit as a white dog with black patches.

We visited the store in Galle and also the one in Colombo airport but they have stores in many places. They have three 'characters' that they use for promotion, Rozzy, Nico and Bandit. Most street dogs look like Rozzy, a smallish hound ab…

Actually, I think religion and dying should be like Schrodingers cat. From where I sit, it's in the box and there currently could be a heaven or not. Until I open the box, it exists in both states and when the time comes, I fully expect that th…

That looks like a 'quote' that's gone wrong. Keep an eye out.

Gal Vihara, Polonnuwara Sri Lanka. We were lucky to be there when some Monks visited. They had I Phones, IPads, some even asked other visitors to take their photos. Those in Pink are lady Monks!

I agree with you. I bare no grudges but I think we were being played and people were having their chains pulled. Too many phony chucking your Teddies out of the pram. In depth discussion about religion has no place on a forum like this as it is alwa…
