dented or otherwise damaged cans, what do you do?
This article in yesterday's paper caught my eye. Looks like mould to me. But. Forget the sensational headline for a minute and focus on the can. Notice how it's a little blackened around the bottom rim? I'm not sure it shows, but it looks like the can has been standing in wet conditions, the wrapper looks a little wrinkled too at top and bottom. Was it like this when it was bought? If yes, why buy it? If no, then how was it stored in the home environment? Use by date. Usually irrelevant, unless the can has been opened. We all know that once a can is opened the contents need to be used immediately, especially baby foods. She mentions somewhere in the story that the contents appeared "a bit runny". This happens when food is given to the baby directly from the can, (or jar) with saliva from the baby's mouth being transferred to the contents, which then begins to break down the molecular structure of the canned food. This isn't immedia...
well that is quite a change for DAAS, having just listened to "I Fuck Dogs". Paul does have the most amazing voice, really lovely.
ReplyDeleteLinda Sue; you listened to what?? Is that a real song? Paul does have a lovely voice and the three of them together make nice music.
DeleteHe has a lovely voice doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; yes he does.
DeleteNow that was nice. I feel quite mellow now. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteArkansas Patti; mellow is a nice feeling.
DeleteA sweet performance. Because they are known for comedy, I wasn't expecting that.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; did you ever watch Good News Week when it was on the ABC? It was one of our favourite shows until it went to a commercial channel and got ruined.
DeleteNever had the pleasure before, a nice performance.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; easy listening :)
DeleteLovely singing. And then I watched (again) the tribute to Prince Philip.
ReplyDeleteJoanne; I haven't seen the tribute to Prince Philip. Can I find that on youtube?
DeleteThat's very pleasant to listen to R.
ReplyDeleteMargaret D; thank you, I like it.
DeleteThe first thing I noticed was than most lines start with the word 'and'. I found that odd.
ReplyDeleteCro Magnon; I hadn't noticed. Welcome to drifting.
DeleteGreat voice.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Victor SE Moubarak; it is great to listen to.
DeleteRemember the version of this he sang live on Good News Week.

no-one; I'd forgotten but will listen to it now, thank you.
DeleteIs the Good News Week series available to buy?
DeleteI never heard of DAAS but I sure enjoyed this video. Thanks River!
ReplyDeleteGranny Annie; I'm glad you enjoyed it.
DeleteCute, didn´t know this one, awww...
ReplyDeleteIris Flavia; he is cute and has a nice voice.
DeleteI have never heard of DAAS either but their sound is very mellow and I liked that a lot. Thanks for sharing, River!
ReplyDeleteMMM; I'm glad you liked it, the sound is very easy to listen to.
DeleteWell, that was rather lovely. I'd never heard of Doug Anthony All Stars so had to look them up. They are not well known in the UK. I've listened to them a few times on Youtube now - not only melodic but hilarious too!

I’m late to the party, but I’ll throw in my two bobs’ worth anyway.
ReplyDeleteI’ve always liked the Dougs, from The Big Gig to DAAS Kapital. Like you, I liked the ABC version of Good News Week. I watched the commercial one through gritted teeth. Also, we’ll forget that rather inane quiz that Paul hosted.
Paul has a wonderful singing voice, but he’s been rather reticent to show that. That clip is one of his best.
Of course, we should remember Mark Seymour’s several terrific versions, as well as the Hunters’ original.
