This is old news. Why is this being posted by the BBC again?

The article says it happened today.

The article says it happened today.

It was announced in a January but the ceremony just happened. This is a big step up from the MBE all four Beatles received in 1965.

Doing the Great Music series over on Talkbeer. Started with '58. Participation was excellent. Then it was suggested to do the series in random order. So off to 2002 we went. So far so good!

Read that last night and smirked. At this point, c'mon what's the point. You've been with Lindsey for 40+ years now - what one new thing led Fleetwood and McVie to say "not we just can't take this anymore". Just do the tour, don't speak to each other, and get your paycheck. Stop being so grumpy. I mean really, who wants to see Fleetwood Mac with one of the Heartbreakers and a guy from Crowded House.

Participation for this series is phenomenal over there. It's a much larger group, and We are running about 40-50 picks, plus pages of discussion. Talkbeer is a bit of a free for all, but I like it.

Doing things a bit different there. Random year order, and doing honorables starting Monday. So pick period is Wednesday - Sunday.

Should we take a chance on it?

That depends. Are you lactose intolerant?

 

[Nickyboy]

Should we take a chance on it?

I think so. We wouldn't want it to be our Waterloo.

Knowing me, knowing you (Fernando), it would not.
