Song of the Volga Boatmen
After listening to something else on YouTube, it suggested I listen to Fascinating Aïda's song "So Sorry Scotland". Glad they did. Great song, great music, and it will also explain a very British current problem to non-Brits.https://youtu.be/mVy7faNKEtM(Translation of one British slang term in the song - Barnpot: North England/Scottish word for "idiot".)
I thought that emotions had settled a little by now about Brexit
it comes as no surprise that the film makes a point in mentioning that : "Comments are disabled for this video
Please tell me : to which Heathrow-Terminal are you mainly referring to, when you mention that "it" will also explain a very British current problem to non-Brits ?

Plenty of "Remain" supporting politicians are still getting death threats, or threats of violence from "Brexit" supporters. Some women MPs have even been told that, if Brexit does not happen, they will be to blame, and they will be raped in revenge! Believe me, it is about as far from "calmed down" as an active volcano next to a densely inhabited city. Rees-Mogg (the main pro-Brexit MP) has even threatened civil unrest if Brexit is delayed.And on the other side (Remain) an anti-Brexit economist recently shocked John Humphreys by stripping naked while he interviewed her to make her point. (Bloody childish thing to do IMHO, but better than the Brexiteers who threaten violence, murder, and rape if politicians disagree with them. Although I do hope that the Brexiteers don't start stripping off too. I really really really do NOT want to see Rees-Mogg or Boris Johnson naked.)Quote from: kristina on February 08, 2019, 02:41:33 AMit comes as no surprise that the film makes a point in mentioning that : "Comments are disabled for this videoThe reason comments are disabled on the video is probably because arseholes would post threats of violence and rape against the singers if they were left open.Quote from: kristina on February 08, 2019, 01:46:02 PMPlease tell me : to which Heathrow-Terminal are you mainly referring to, when you mention that "it" will also explain a very British current problem to non-Brits ?Not sure what you are asking, I didn't mention Heathrow?
I still cannot make up my mind about it at all, except that I suspect some "racket" behind it all, but I don't know where it is coming from and what it might mean?Thanks about the information and all the best wishes from Kristina. P.S. Rees-Mogg or Boris Johnson "threatening" to present themselves naked as some kind of protest or whatever ? Good gracious, what next? From what I "know" about them, I always suspected that there was not much class ...

Our respective foreign office/State department know that his dream is to see the destruction of NATO and the implosion of the EU, and it is understandable why he fears those two institutions in particular. Putin may well be "the racket".Since this is a thread about music, I can't imagine anyone waxing lyrically about either Rees-Mogg or Johnson running about without their clothes. Imagine THAT soundtrack!
Argh! That's tonight! I wish I had seen your post earlier about the 2 Cellos, Prime Timer; I would have tried to get into the city to see them. Thanks so much for the youtube link; no wonder you love them so much. Such a sweet, sweet sound...lovely tone!
