Whitney Houston had potential

If robots could sing they'd sound like Whitney. Technically brilliant, but completely lacking in any warmth or emotion. If you want to learn how to sing, listen to Whitney, Ella, Barbara, Aretha et al. If you want to be moved by someone singing, listen to Karen Carpenter.

No mention of Wendy James from Transvision Vamp??

Happily watch her sing for hours ....... although maybe not these days!

Barbecues are over rated

How dare you.

Unlike indoor equipment, you get away with not having to properly wash, scrub and clean a bbq, and for that reason alone it's awesome

Yeah fair enough, point taken about the washing up.

It's just that I find bbqs over rated even when they're at someone else's house (garden for the pedantic ); just one of those things that always sounds like it's going to be better than it actually is. Or maybe I'm just a miserable get

Update to my earlier post.

I now know who Karen Carpenter is and I find her music boring.

Etta James was better.

Thanks for the update, we'll alert the media.

All " home" versions of baking, beer making and wine making are absolutely
dire compared with factory made produce.

But what about her voice? I can take or leave a lot of The Carpenters stuff, although some of it really like. But that voice, just amazing.

I don't like golf, but I can still appreciate the ability of the world's top golfers.

+1

If you don't like the Carpenters stuff, listen to her version of Desperado.

You're in the right thread with that one, home made bread is by far the best!!!

Yep, the stuff you buy in the shops is crap.

Oh for sure, she was very talented. Shame she died so young.

You are most welcome. Keep the right wing rags away though, like the Daily Mail or The Sun, thanks in advance.

At last somebody with some taste.


My unpopular opinion this morning is that you should never eat in a restaurant that has laminated menus. Doubly so if they show pictures of the food.

Seems reasonable but I wished for such a menu once many years ago when I ordered dinner in some backwater somewhere far away (can't even remember which country it was) and I received a hoof for my efforts.

That’s not unpopular with me, I don’t like laminated menus, but pictures of the food is a total no-no, they are normally the mark of a chav burger, egg, and chips nosebag heaven.

I dont like laminated menus or ones with pictures either.
