  Thanks for this updated version of Sissel singing Auld Lang Syne with the opening words that are there for all to see and take in.

  Every year and several times through them I watch and listen to her wonderful and penetrating voice, truly beautiful.

  Happy New Year to all.

  As a follow up here is a beautiful rendition & perhaps the best singing version of one of the greatest songs ever.

    Thanks Colin I had to put my headphones on for this one mate. There are very few things that can move people's headspace in another space.

  Stuff all that "Gentleness" shit Tad, let's go out and kick ass in 2021.

  Here's to a successful 2021 for everyone, but you won't achieve it without getting up off you own Fat Blessed Assurance and DO SOMETHING PROACTIVE.

  Now get to it you deviates.

    haha Sir Col I did mention music can get us "together"

    Seriously though --will we get on top of this virus?

    If interested read this article.The Virus issue is a lot more complex and very much integrated with the health of the natural world. Addressing the problem with Vaccines is simply not good enough.It is all about a highly stressed planet and poorer immune systems which will open up a whole new range of viruses..I think we will be forced into a new world where Science will have to take over to lead the world out of this rather than Economic and Business players shaping our future.

    This may not be the time to throw this in ---but when will it be ?

      Ah Tad you have done it again son.

      First, follow the money trail. As long as the vested interests are making thier $BILLIONS this will not go away.

      Second, we have never been told what this virus actually is, plus the MSM and vested interests will beat it up to generate more money for themselves.

      Third, today's world is run on corruption and greed. Greed is NOT good, greed is evil and destroys the "little" man.

      Fourth, give close scrutiny to the UN Agenda 21 which like the virus has morphed into a truly evil and controlling agenda for the "privileged few"

      Did you know the UN originated from Hitler's idealogy for the world and started by the Germans almost immediately WW2 was done and dusted.

      These comments will no doubt flush out the "You are a conspiritor" brigade but sheeple do not understand and lack the capacity to see past the BS the vested interests feed them. *Cue El Pathetic here^

      Until such time as people stand up for themselves (get up off their own fat Blessed assurances) and take PROactive measures it will continue on until the apathetic imbeciles are all prisoners of their own making.

      2021 is going to be a great year for me because I said so, because I will take the necessary actions to make it so.

      Keep smiling bro.

        Ok --you don,t like reading long articles Sir Col -Here is a cut and paste from the Guardian which may add some weight to what you are saying----Small business going backwards and---

         

        The combined wealth of Australian billionaires has risen by more than 50% over the past year, new figures show, prompting concerns that the pandemic-triggered recession has “turbocharged” the gap between rich and poor.

        The combined net worth of Australia’s billionaires dropped in March – when Covid-19 restrictions ramped up – before rebounding strongly and increasing throughout the course of the year, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

         

        The combined worth of Australian billionaires was assessed to be 52.4% higher this week than at the same time last December.

        By comparison, billionaires in the US and UK recorded an increase of about 25% over the same period, the Bloomberg index shows.

            Poppa, I wonder what your standard is here? The post of mine to which you refer does not quote anyone and instead relays what I know to be the case because I am by training an historian. So it seems you undermine your call to rely on opinions not quotes by failing to differentiate opinion from quote. 
            As for the broader point about opinions versus quotes, sometimes someone does not want to reinvent wheels so they quote, and sometimes quotes are evidence, and sometimes opinions unsupported by evidence or quotes - or even logic and reason - are the worst read ever. 
            I see your point about pasted in remarks.  No real disagreement there.   But, personally, if someone thinks some paste establishes something, it's always open to the reader to assess and reply to what's posted. Or move on. True?

                Your point is very valid Poppa. I actually like the Prof putting his two bobs' worth in on things when we get in a muddle trying to discuss material from our own differing knowledge base levels.

                Some may feel intimidated and withdraw from making comments understandably. I think a lot has to do with how you present your view.If you present o communication as an exploratory statement with a sense that you are open to criticism and willing to consider other opinions it is a good thing.If however you rigidly present a view without any intention to challenge your own inputs you are limiting your opportunity to learn and can become a victim of others frustration
