Welcome to OOF
Ive just posted one of his songs that I like in the Qanon thread.
Always liked this one.

Jeff Beck was playing guitar for him on a recording session, and they got talking about the different Superstitions in the UK and U.S.
They stopped for lunch but Beck didnt want any so stayed in the studio messing aorund on the drum kit. When Stevie Wonder got back he asked who was on drums. Beck said "its me Stevie". He told him to keep playing what he was playing, then started playing along on keyboards and then singing some lyrics as they came into his head.
The result was...........

plenty of cars locally with "quick sale" notices in the widows
I`ve now added a cheap 2010 Honda Jazz to the fleet, EX model with lots of toys.
Noisy top end, so unbelievably preparing to adjust the tappets on the 1.4 lump
it's probably never been over 3000rpm(with the clutch fully engaged), with oil changes about every 3 years to get close to the mileage interval. A couple of quick, cheap oil changes and prolonged motorway driving would do it some good.

Last week it was rotting corpse on the streets, now it's starving children. Get a f**king grip.
I note that BA are saying it will be YEARS before air travel recovers to pre virus levels. It will make the after affects of 9/11 seem like a picnic
good, we fly far too easily in modern times,
Maybe, but think of the consequences of all this on jobs, like Doctor Gollum’s, the Gatwick and Heathrow staff, the service industry, the aircraft maintenance crews, the aircraft builders, etc, etc!
It is going to be horrendous
We can go green, turn our backs on modernity, but then live through the worst recession the World has ever known with people, including children, starving on the streets. Is that all worth it?
I have got a grip Steve with the knowledge that in distant places, like India, there are already starving kids as the sweat shops, that at least used to pay their employees the local going rate, have shut down due to U.K., and other countries, retailers cancelling orders and not paying the contracted severance money.
Our, Europe’s, and America’s welfare state will support our poorest, made redundant, workers so long, but when the financial situation hits the buffers........already the food banks are overwhelmed...........so yes, even in good old Britain “starving kids” could well be a horrible reality.
If you cannot see that......
