She very successfully covered one of his tracks (>108M views on YouTube).
Apart from that, you tell me.

king murdered itAn achingly beautiful and emotional rendition of this, one of the new Nobel prize winners finest love songs.
Of the hundreds of Dylan covers this has got to be well placed in the top ten. ( number one 'All along the Watchtower, by Jimi Hendrix.)
As a further tribute to Dylan this song on Adele's album was the same track number, seven, and lasted, to the split second the timing of the original.
Superbly suited to Adele's vocal style, this track is and will remain, a classic cover.

I'm annoyed beyond reason that the chargeable carrier bag regime has led to a collapse in the level of customer service.
Obviously, in supermarkets, we've always packed our own bags, but in department stores, clothes shops, bookshops etc, bags (theirs) would always be packed for you.
Now, you bring along you rown bags, and the lazys just push your goods across the counter at you. Even for significant purchases they don't even *offer* to pack them into your bag.
I think it depends where you shop and what kind of "Powerpoint customer service lecture" the checkout operators have had.

The OAPs in the checkout queue ahead of me this afternoon, moaning about all the schoolkids in the shop.
They'd had all fking day to do their shopping but chose to do it at 3:15 when the schools have just chucked out
OAPs do it on purpose I'm sure. Guaranteed to be a 20 deep queue of them in front of you at 1205 in the Post Office when you're trying to get your parcel away in your lunch hour whilst they witter on about how Doris has just been in for a scan and they're awaiting the results. They'd had all f

The price of fish and fking chips in London these days. £8.50?! I could get chips, fish, and a nice sugary drink for £5 anywhere else! Or, a three course sit down meal in some sort of st hole like Mansfield!
Spuds are creeping up in price and fish is always expensive. It will cost more to get into London with lorries to deliver the spuds and fish. Never mind rents. 8 and a half quid is about right. king chips in London these days. £8.50?! I could get chips, fish, and a nice sugary drink for £5 anywhere else!

Would only have been about £8.50 if we'd got fish and chips instead.TheGroover said:
The statement "By definition half the population are below average". I don't know why it annoys me so much, possibly because the person saying it is usually trying to make a smug point about something, using something that is clearly and demonstrably wrong.
I think you could expand that to virtually every presentation involving statistics by any media.......or commercial concern....
...or anyone with any vested interest ....
...on average.
