Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Another one goes today as well, Folk musician Bert Jansch dies aged 67.

Didn't know he was ill.

This is not a conspiracy theory as no one could win it with the wrong set of numbers. It looks more like a mistake.

The Euro raffle takes the actua lset of numbers issued and randomly chooses one of them for 1m. It looks like they used last Friday's set of numbers hence no winner. I still have found no one with a ticket beginning with anything else than 'C'.

I used to go to a folk club at the back of a pub in Tottenham Rd and watch Bert Jansch and John Renbourne with a few other musicians. They became the group called the Pentangle. I found my membership card recently. It was The New Contempory Folk Club

I just found a reference to it in the International Times

http://www.internationaltimes.it/page.php?i=IT_1967-04-28_B-IT-Volume-1_Iss-12_012&view=text

folk: Bert Jansch with John Renbourne and Jacqui
McShee, every Sunday at tile Oxford Room,
Horseshoe Hotel, Tottenham Court Road, The New
Contemporary Folk club. 7:30 p.m.. Members: 7/6.
Annual membership 5/-.

I don't know if anyone remembers IT. Their best front page was

"We are the people our parents warned us about"

5 bob Annual membership :-)

Bert Jansch was on my "one to see live in concert list".. to late now.

It was the pub just to the left of the Dominion cinema at the corner of Oxford St and Tottenham Court Rd. It was in the back, just a small room with sometimes just about 20 of us. We all used to drink at the bar together audience and musicians. Then we would take a sort of vote when to start another session. Renbourne was and is also very good. He was more melodic.

Yes, I did see John Renbourne 2/3 years back in Oxford.

No doubt there will be some sort of tribute on Folk on 2 tonight (or whatever it's called now) 7pm.

"Another one goes today as well," Didn't know you could see into the future , when is Fred going ?

Mine began with a C but I did win the wonderous amount of 2.60 on two numbers - nothing to do with the millionaires raffle of course. How it pays to be on the ball Haystack so to speak, very good.

Ergo Conspiracy .......

Aids,

Probably after you.

But best of luck.

You seem to need it.

RIP who ever goes first. lol oh sorry crying out loud.

Must admit mine began with BPJ93

Steve Jobs dead.

..Apple's visionary Steve Jobs dead at 56



....SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Steve Jobs, the transcendent Silicon Valley entrepreneur who reinvented the world's computing, music and mobile phone industries and changed the daily habits of millions around the globe, died on Wednesday at the age of 56.

His death after a years-long battle with pancreatic cancer sparked an immediate outpouring of tributes as world leaders, business rivals and fans alike lamented the tragedy of his premature passing and celebrated his monumental achievements.

"The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve's success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented," U.S. President Barack Obama said in a statement.

Aids,

Probably after you.

When this government has sorted out the mess Labour left the NHS in , we will stand more of a chance.

Under Labour you needed luck , it was a lottery.

[ Stand by for Fred to post one of his long reply's , and his pathetic attempt's at political satire ]

Ald - Just ignore the Twxt :O)

Aids.

You and Osborne seem stolid

You need a little Q.E.

Yet again another U-turn by the hollow men of politics.

Plan B perhaps.

As far as the NHS is concerned, you are being conned.

Perhaps a Vet may be allowed to put you down.
