Chrise, I did not know this band; I listened to all your links and discovered a group I really like - except your very first link. Good voices. Thank you

P.S. I was just going to add that I like the lyrics, when somehow it got prematurely posted!

Hello, Elle!
Yes, the book was called "The Sheep Pig", I think.
It is very good indeed!
I was just up in the park, walking.
Getting a bus to town later.

I agree with both of you - as I said, the Bangles one was not at all typical! (Though Shane McGowan was in it.......................)

Dick Smith (I think) wrote the sheep pig. However what makes the film special is how natural the (real) animals seem.

Hi, Rusty!
Um......I'm still not sure that I would enjoy the film "Babe ," despite your and Chris' exhortations........it doesn't sound like my 'sort of thing'.
Maybe I should try the book?
I really like that group that Chris posted up - especially the song "Same Old Town".
I'm presuming that you know them? and like them?
I now have a new earworm!
How come you are travelling on the bus this evening? You said you never do that!
Mind you, it will give you an opportunity to air your free bus pass!

Hello, Elle!
No, maybe Babe is not for you.
I have not read the book.
It is called Babe, the Gallant Pig, in America.
Yes, a good group.
I am catching a bus because I fancy going into town for a change. I'll visit several pubs and catch up on the craic.
Not sure if my bus pass is to hand.
The city centre should not be busy on a Tuesday, I do not think.

Have good time then, Rusty!
Yes, it is a sensible idea to go by public transport if you are going to be having a pint or "more".......
You cannot just get on a bus here and "pay" your fare. You either have to have a free bus pass or a prepaid Oyster Card.
Cash is not accepted by the driver!
Do you not have this restriction?
Maybe worth looking for your bus pass?
Besides, if the cost of fares in Dundee is as high as it is here, you could buy an extra pint with what you would save on travel expenses!
Enjoy the craic!
Talk later if you are sober when you get home!

Hello, Elle,
Our drivers take cash, but it has to be correct fare.
No change given.
Just contemplating which stop to get off in town.
I am very fussy where I go.
If they do not match my expectations they get told why, and I move on.
My favourite is the biggest in town.
Great staff and clientele and they have a Sonos machine, I think it is called. The staff let the customers each choose a song. Very popular!
Right, I am off!

Good evening, Elle!
Just home 10 minutes ago.
Wind is rising!
Frank is on his way, methinks!

Hi, Rusty!
It is good that you got home before Frank did!
Did you have a good time? Where did you get to?
We have no wind here, but a steady drizzle has set in.
