  1. A documentary on hummingbirds. I find them facinating little birds. There are four of them that live somewhere around my house and bathe in the fountain in my yard every morning.

    We watched that the other day too, it was on PBS here in North Carolina, fascinating how far they migrate!

  2. Star Trek was all about the sex! That's what it was about from day one. Why do you think the nerd's like it so much?

    I can say this because I'm one of those nerd's! To an extent.... :D

  3. Hello Everyone.

    I know that this question probably is very common, but...i want to share with you my feelings.

    Today, I saw a photo of Jimmy dressed up like a nazi in a concert of 1977.

    I don't know why, but...I have never seen it before...and it really desplease me.

    I always see Led Zeppelin like the Gods of hippy's ideology: the preacers of excesses, but also of messages like the communion with Mother Nature, the brotherhodd...PEACE...

    Was not Robert "The Prince of Peace" that "embraced the Gloom and walk the night alone"?

    Why do they do this?

    To impress people? they didn't need these stratagems to astonish the pubblic...

    Like satire?

    O because they were in contempt of the horror of wich that uniform is risponsable?

    They have never explained that thing?

    What do you think of?

    Where did the piper, with his message of peace and brotherhood, go?

    P.S. scuse me for my bad english.

    Perhaps the similarities with the Nazi's and the cult?

  4. Generally fake boobs are augmented in a way to defy gravity. They're perky. These boobs above would sag to her knees once let out of their restraints. Look how elongated they are. If she were on top, any swaying back and forth might beat you to death. On the other hand, on her back they might flop to the side. :huh:

    Ever seen a chick with large fake tit's swimming under water? You can see the implant bag's rippling in the water under the skin. Looks unnatural and weird!

  5. Hi BLD,

    Ya know i already have that on my browser and i didn't even know it, i must be living in Twatsville, what do ya say? :lol: but thanks anyway, still i do love misspelled words, they give me a lot of enjoyment both reading and writing them. :beer:

    Regards, Danny

    Oh yeah!! I say that as over here in the state's a "Twat" is the best part of a woman!!! I would love to drown there before I die! :)

  6. Hi Deborah..I was watching that too. Had to go out in the middle of it since it was 3 hours long but the hubby stayed home and finished watching it. It was a good show what I saw of it. We have a friend who works for Fender as a manager in product development. Had a left handed Telecaster made for my husband. He loves that guitar.

    So, you think he can get me a job? I'm in a bad way! :(

  7. Use of the term discotheque dates back to occupied Paris during World War II. New clubs and bars began to pop up literally underground. These late-night basement parties were run like the American speakeasy and included the use of passwords, memberships and rotating locations. The new form of nightclub was called "discotheque", the French word meaning "record library". Live acts and known venues were too dangerous to chance - a one-way trip to the camps in 1941. The latest jazz records from the United States were awaited with bated breath by this new underground. It was a long and dangerous journey into Paris, dodging bullets and Nazi checkpoints (and you thought your bag was heavy!)

    Really? I didn't know this.. How about that. Like they say.. You learn something new every day. I live in the state's so maybe that's why I don't remember the term until the mid 1970's, or maybe not, I was only 12 years old in 1975. :slapface:

  8. Yeah like in good ol days, nice B) Keep on goofing, I mean rocking :D

    OK here is my impression of John Bonham....

    That's a Sharpie marker in my mouth (I don't smoke anymore).

    Here I am taking a ride on the drum's, as you can tell, I some time's make funny faces when I play.

    No more hair but I do have some cool toboggans and hat's! I'm over 40 so I can ware a hat if I please now. :D

  9. One afternoon, in the winter of 1972, I got a call from an excited Ramzan, the owner of Slip Disc, the happening discotheque and live band show place of our time. He told me that Robert Plant and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin were in town and are to visit the Slip Disc and perform that evening so please get there as early as I could. If only you could imagine the excitement and turmoil that took place for the next few hours in the life of this fledging young Rock singer! A hundred telephone calls later I was on my way to distant Colaba from our bungalow in Chembur and reached the Slip Disc to find it almost full. And this was a good four hours before their scheduled arrival! Good news sure travels fast and as we waited for the arrival of our Rock Icons, we prepared for their performance with a last minute check on the music equipment available. Those were the tough days of import control and we had really poor stuff that was scrounged and smuggled with the help of relatives from abroad and rich benefactors. We were hoping that this would not mar the enthusiasm of the Rock Superstars who were used to the very best!

    As the next few hours slowly crawled and H hour arrived, the Slip Disc began to burst at the seams and the crowd was getting difficult to manage, It was weird seeing a discotheque with no music playing, filled to capacity with people just waiting for the stars to arrive and the excitement levels were at danger levels. We received minute-by-minute information about the progress of their arrival from the Taj Mahal Hotel where the duo was staying. Fortunately it was just a hop skip and a jump away and Ramzan was in their room waiting to escort them to his noisy club on Bombay’s waterfront. Just as it seemed that the wait was getting unbearable, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page made their entrance into the discotheque to the spontaneous applause of their crazy fans myself included.

    The next hour was like a blur to me especially after all these years, as just too much seemed to be happening. As Robert and Jimmy were busy signing autographs for the crowd that descended on them, for a brief instance, I could not help but feel a sense of disappointment on seeing my idols in person. I had imagined a very strong male and macho presence especially from the tall Plant and their music exuded such incredible energy, yet both of them were so soft-spoken and almost effeminate in their behavior! Their apparent frail exteriors made me more aware of the thousands of misconceptions that we must have been carrying around with us. Don’t forget we did not have television at that time and we were always craving for information. We only had their music to inspire us and we were using our imagination to carve out the entire personas of our idols!

    Soon these thoughts were out of my mind as it was time for the duo to perform. It had been decided that Xerxes Gobhai, the talented bassist from the Human Bondage and Jameel Shaikh, the drummer from my band would back them but nobody had any idea what they would perform. There was just no time to get into any details, as anything would do for us music-starved fans and before we knew it, Led Zeppelin, Bombay style were announced to the audience. Jimmy and Plant got into the groove from the word go as they launched into Rock and Roll, the hit from Led Zep 4 and the audience went wild! They followed that with an extended blues where their stay in Bombay seemed to feature a lot. Black Dog followed and before we knew it was all over. They must have been on stage for a maximum of 25 minutes and we savored every second of that. At that time, Led Zeppelin were on top of the charts and it was a great opportunity for us to see at least two of them perform live in Bombay and they were just a few feet away!

    In later years, the story of the Plant/Page visit took on an unbelievable aura around it and everybody seemed to have different recollections of that night… myself included. But I guess that is what legends are made of. Today it even seems ridiculous as it to how much hysteria a couple of Rock Stars could generate! Yet this was the barometer with which you could judge the passion with which we loved our music. Please, keep the fire burning and Rock on!

    Nope, this still only sends me to a DNS Look up Error page...

    ...tks ever so much for the fantastic details SAJ, as always!!! I will look it up more closely at RoyalOrleans.Com,

    the name is Slip Disc...it is revived in Goa...here is the link

    Why 'Slipdisc'?

    The original Slipdisc was a swinging discotheque in the late 60's- 70's, situated in the bylanes of Colaba, Bombay. In fact it was Bombay's and the country's first.

    This link works fine

    It's OK, don't worry about it PlanetPage, I believe you.

    I do find it hard to understand calling a club a Disco tech that early on, I didn't think that Disco tech was even around in 1972. When I think Disco tech I think 1975 or 1977. I can see calling the club in India, "Slipdisc" as in... dancing so much that you'll hurt your back! :D

  10. hahahaha

    Ha ha ha !!! Must have been bored today. Maybe you should try and sell Photoshoped fake's as a joke thing.

    Happy Holiday's

  11. Ummmmm.. I guess I need to keep in the direction I've been moving in this year, the exercise work out's need to stay in regular accordance.

    Also making a better living and finding a new place to live, but I know that part will be happening as I have to move out next week. :)

    I got a look up error on both those links.

  13. Hope you guy's (and Gal's) north of me are dug out by now! I spent the last few day's at my folk's place because they have a generator, I was planing to spend time there any ways as a lot of the family is in for the holiday so I was not to off of the program.

    This is Friday at about 2 PM or so from the back window of my house.

    snowatraysplace2009.jpg

    This is over at my folks place a little while later (sorry it's a bit dark), you can see the snow out the window

    X-mas09tree.jpg

  14. We have at least 18" of snow and it's still coming :) We're going out to take pictures soon so hopefully I can put one up later on.

    Here we go; the black thing is our gas grill:

    100_1300.jpg

    Wow!! You guy's got hit good, didn't ya? I got about 3" here at the house, just down the road a few mile's there was 5"-6" and the western mountain's they got more. It may have been more than 3" here as it is a wet snow and has slush on the bottom and some ice on the top.

    I shot some video yesterday. I'll try and post some stills from that footage tomorrow.

  15. I haven't seen the show but I know the licensing of the song may be affected by its having an extra composer's credit (Anne Bredon). I recall a Hendrix biopic where the producers obviously couldn't get permission to use any original Hendrix tunes, so they could only show him playing "Like a Rolling Stone," "Wild Thing," "All Along the Watchtower," and "The Star-Spangled Banner," all of which, of couse, were written by other people. I don't know a lot about publishing issues, but that would be my guess in this case.

    All you have to do is find out what publishing company has the right's and pay them a synchronization fee, they will want some details of how it will appear. Of coarse you must get permission from the original writer too. B)
