At last, we teabellies remembered to get a flask! We got a 1.2 Litre Thermos in the sale and it was about £34.  It made seven large cups which we shared. With tea at £2 a cup from the stalls, we had the flask instead and saved ourselves up to £84 on three days’ tea…so it has already paid for itself. I will use it on long work journeys anyway, so it will be handy.

We did support the stalls on Friday and Saturday, having a meal each those nights. But I begrudge paying two quid for some water, UHT milk and a teabag.

Thanks all - I was never a Minnie Riperton fan, I can’t stand Loving You, but I do like this song  

That’s it!  

 Thank you for this, I’ve been busting my brains trying to find it!!

I love the chorus - it was used in a Microsoft advert, or the “la la la” version was, which is probably why I couldn’t remember the lyrics…!

Former Tom Jones, AC/DC, The Firm, Manfred Mann's Earth Band et al drummer Chris Slade has announced his retirement. He's fast approaching 80 and has suffered a minor stroke in the last few years so is hanging up his sticks.

I just saw him the once with Page and Rodgers in the Firm and a fine drummer he was too. Here they are back in the mid-80s filmed in concert in London...

Was it Les Fleurs by Minnie Ripperton? I know the one you mean  - I think it was used for an advert.

I asked on the bookface for the set list for MGW as I’m trying to identify a particular song but nobody has it. Anyone here got it?

The song was I think a hit within the last 10 years. I have no idea of the words but there’s quite a rousing chorus. Mr B thinks it’s from Hair (the musical) and it’s certainly in that vein, but I think it’s more recent. Any help gratefully received!

Thanks for resolving that   I thought you probably meant Chris, but didn't like to presume.

Hee heee it didn’t take me nine hours to get THIS one…
