I Am A Swede

A song by Björn & Benny + the voice of Helen Sjöholm = perfection

I just don't know what to say....

He actually compared Obamacare to slavery??!!

You know, sometimes it feels wrong of me to even comment in this thread because I live in another country with a completely different political climate. Here someone like Ben Carson wouldn't stand a chance to get elected to any kind of political office.

(Not to mention that I am myself probably much further to the left, politically speaking, than any US politician)

Canadian duo which only had one hit (In Canada) but I am just ADORING their sound. Their albums are almost imposssible to find, and when you do, they are 75$ for a near mint condition.

Love the bouzouki!

It reminded me of this little personal favourite.

This current situation doesn't exactly paint a very flattering picture of the U.S. or U.S. politics.

How is the public reacting to this shutdown? Is public opinion as divided as the government?

Maybe if they brought back Alex Cabot, that would give SVU some life! I miss the courtroom aspect of the show.

Hence the name Law and Order. Lol, they need to bring Cabot back!!!

Isn't that Rafael Barba's (Raúl Esparza's character) role now, the courtroom part of the show?

Personally though I would love to see Casey Novak back. I always liked her a little bit better than Alex Cabot.

Trailer for Emmerdale Farm from May 1985

I caught the error!

Terence was Steph's brother, not her son!

And I agree that they should have brought back Kathy and Caroline. But Kathy didn't come back for Jack's funeral either, although I believe that they did ask Malandra Burrows on that occasion, but she was sadly unable to attend.

Former Emmerdale star Ben Freeman (ex-Scott Windsor) will play Fonzie when the musical version of the long-running tv-show "Happy days" will tour the UK next year. He will be joined by, among others, former pop stars Cheryl Baker (Bucks Fizz) who will play Mrs Cunningham, and Heidi Range (Sugababes) who will play Fonzie's girlfriend Pinky Tuscadero.

Has it been 30 years?!!

Wow, I suddenly feel very old....

It doesn't feel like there are any rivalries of that kind in tennis right now. Maybe that's why it feels a bit boring.....

Back in the 1990s and early 2000s, when I was following tennis more closely, there was a lot more of that. Or at least it felt that way. It didn't feel like Sampras and Agassi were the best of friends. Sampras and Rafter had a few incidents as well. I always got the impression that Graf and Sanchez-Vicario weren't on the best of terms either. And of course Martina Hingis vs almost everyone.....

I just had to revive this old thread. I was browsing on YouTube and found this old gem. This is the opening from a German tv-series for kids from the 1970s. I remember this very well from my childhood, but I had no idea that it could be found on YouTube.

Yes! Finally a British winner of the men's singles title at Wimbledon, after 77 years of waiting.
