Cat poo on the lawn which I didn't see while mowing it. Garden stinks of it now and so do my shoes even though I've scrubbed them twice.

We have a big problem with loads of cats locally and they often foul on our grass and flower beds. HID uses orange peel, chilli powder and lion dung to try and ward them off. We do have battery powered cat alarms too but they don't seem to do much or last before batteries need changing. HID will return the foulings onto the neighbours garden if we see their cat on our garden as her garden is her absolute pride and joy and it drives her mad

On the plugged ball - why placed and not dropped when he got relief?

I honestly don't know.

Get a poodle, for instance.
Apparently they have hair and not fur, this is why they don't moult and they are hypoallergenic.

Hooked my Yamaha soundbar to the TV via an optical cable. The Yamaha has been sitting unused for the past 2 years.
All linked up and it is fecking brilliant sound quality. So sit back on the sofa to watch the cricket.. guess what ..

All buttons on the Yamaha remote control work perfectly except the Volume control.. You had one job...

Receiving notification of a further two months of closures for the main road in and out of here... Can someone, pretty please, shove HS2 where the sun doesn't shine...

You will need to expand on that one, I'm not getting it. Music related I presume but after that you've lost me.

Looked at odds for the Traveler's last week, thought about backing Reavie but didn't bother because I normally only bet majors and I couldn't be arsed topping up my SkyBet account. Bloody typical.

Set lists relate to the songs played at live concerts, the rant relates to the sometimes completely unfathomable choices that artists make on them; Bon Jovi left out Dry County and played nothing from the These Days album, yet found room for Captain Crash; Billy Joel played only 11 of the 19 tracks on his Greatest Hits album, leaving out Goodnight Saigon on the basis it was depressing yet played The Downeaster Alexa which is hardly a barrel of laughs; and Eagles included numbers from Joe Walsh’s James Gang days, yet somehow couldn’t find room for The Last Resort.

I realise song choices are personal but I’d suggest that there are some that are that iconic that they shouldn’t be overlooked and discussing this waiting on platforms afterwards it seems I wasn’t alone in my thoughts.

I agree - Fleetwood Mac didn't play Tusk last week and they got through many of their big hits early on and the last half hour was stuff I didn't know so well - still decent gig though but would be better if people listened to the music instead of constant chatter and phones being held up

I suspect they get bored of playing the same songs night after night for infinite years and just want to mix it up, that's all.

Relatively easy solution....get a cat (or 2)!

I’ve had a look at the set lists for 2 of the 3 groups tours; Eagles is exactly the same set list including the running order at the last 3 venues, which puts paid to that theory; Bon Jovi have made little tweaks but still haven’t pulled in the missing ones or excluded the dross.

But surely its because of playing those songs that make people spend fortunes on tickets to see them, the gigs are for their fans and shouldn't be for their own self indulgence. I saw Gary Moore a few times and he never would play Parisienne Walkways and Fleetwood Mac dont do Albatross, (although I've seen Peter Green do it twice)
