I heard it in the closing stages of an episode of The Wire I think. I'm not sure how it works when you are making a movie or a TV Show and you need to choose the right song/part of the song at just the the right moment to convey the mood of what your watching. But I always have a massive respect for the ones who do that well, the scenes where they marry the scene to the music and it just fits. You get it in movies coz they spend millions doing it but in TV Shows its more hit and miss but The Wire had it. And to be fair Sons of anarchy had it but the best I saw was the way the office did it, the scene with dawn and tim and yazoo only you, brilliant. That scene with yazoo playing had me wanting to fall in love. If you take the music away from these moments they're next to nothing. God the beer is kicking in.....

Thanks. She is alive but deep in the clutches of dementia so really I lost her years ago. One good thing is she's spared the anxiety of Covid and instead is in a happy land in her mind. Just wish I could get in there with her!
Mr Sardi's mum was like that. Very happy in herself though. Her world became very small but it wss a happy one . She could be very funny, too. She used to watch the Aussie Soaps and would say 'this morning, when I was in Australia. ..' and relate some event from the show. The best thing to do was go to her place instead of trying to get her into ours. I told her once that my own mother had had red hair and she replied 'Never mind dear, I'm sure she was a nice person. It wasn't her fault '!
It's hard to watch the person you knew dissappear, all the same.0 -

they're the most placid gentle animals of them all. Lovely creatures.
Any animal will act out if not looked after properly but they're as gentle as they come.
Our neighbours used to give the local children rides on its back like a pony, maybe that's why it decided to bite To thine own self be true

ha well I suppose that wud do it alright! 0 -
At the sea side in England, where donkey rides were part and parcel of a day at the beach, there was always a biter amongst them! But ususally just in retaliation to rough housing by a kid. I suppose that even for a donkey it gets to a point where enough is enough!Purple Mountain wrote: »Our neighbours used to give the local children rides on its back like a pony, maybe that's why it decided to bite0 -

Most of my music collection is on the back of having heard it perfectly matched to a scene on tv or in a film.
I’m awake at my usual time of course, but someone is bringing me breakfast in bed for a change!0 -

Morning all Hope you are all keeping well and enjoying this beautiful morning . I have a soft spot for donkeys, horses and animals in general and I’d love to have a sanctuary for them all Dogs would be my number one love though

I reserved in Argo and collected this morning, very well organised in there imo..queue is outside and only a handful of people inside, pay for your item, put your receipt on the counter and collect when your number is called, no contact with anyone really, I thought it was very safe there, no catalogues available unfortunately.
Yeah both online and click and collect in smyths is going on and off availability.
Thankfully mine are still too young to fully understand so they'll "get what they are given" "and be happy about it"
Argos and littlewoods definitely alternatives alright. Boots are also stocking mothercare stuff too.... So I think we'll survive 0
