I must admit a soft spot for Queen, and I think it is because I remember them when they were on the go. Talking about a band before you were born, there is a disconnect. Maybe why the coffin dodgers on here love the Beatles and I don't. The first album I remember listening to was A Kind of Magic. I was 7 or 8 and my brother had this on cassette. This, along with Now 6 and Status Quo's In The Army Now. I loved AKOM. I still do. Innuendo was a masterpiece, then shortly after this Freddie died and we had the whole phenomenon of Greatest Hits 2, Christmas Number 1 and Wayne's World. All this I remember. For anyone born after, say, 1990 they are just history. As an aside, I watched Highlander again recently. Surely the best soundtrack ever, that became A Kind of Magic. So many great songs, and gives the album context (Who Wants To Live Forever etc).

I'm more and more certain the general election will be in January, for one simple reason. "Rishi Sunak: British Prime Minister, 2022-2025" looks better on his CV/history books.

We have a Rugby League thread?

Brighton resident's fight against council to keep trees outside house

If we look at the general elections of 2015, 2017, 2019 in each case the Tories changed their leader after winning an election. Very unstable.

I saw the Eagles at Hampden in 2001, and he played it there.

Love that song! Seen it played live, too - brilliant.

I see your Pressley and raise you John Lambie. Utterly shafted us, with his pish anti-football. As a kid who went regularly this was my first experience of utter dross. Even Eamonn Bannan was better.

I will give you actual cash if it was Humza Yousaf

Like when security guards "wanted" to work 80 hour weeks to avoid the Working Time Directive.

24 is better. I am pretty sure that Jack Bauer had a heart attack after being exposed to a toxin, and a couple of hours later was fist fighting a terrorist.

My Wife says that I never solve my own problems. How do I prove her wrong?

Yes, simple enough. Phone your current finance provider and ask for a settlement figure. What essentially happens is that when you buy a new car, the garage you use will "buy" your old car off you for the settlement figure. They pay that direct to the finance company. Now, if you use something like CarFinance247 (who are very good but very pushy), tell them what that figure is and that you're looking to trade in the car. They tell the garages in advance so everything is in place. The only downside is if you got your current car recently (say, within the last 2 years). In that case the settlement figure might be higher than the garage is willing to trade in - you'll either need to find the difference or use a lender who will add this difference to your new finance agreement. You would get more money for your existing car selling privately, but for me the hassle factor is too much.
