So I have to conform . . . towing the 'Chebby party line' . . . I have a life and a view, I am an individual and I will express it.

. . . Takes me back, reminds me of the 'good old days' . . . we would not take the 'party whip' of the day.  I do things my way, which is not wrong, just sometimes different . . . whats wrong with all the nice things that Horlicks, pipe and slippers conjure up?  typing away

You are probably younger than me but you sound as if you're off to the retirement home with your box booked.

Get some Led Zep on the TT and open a bottle of Barossa valley.

Sorry mate, I dont like 'LZ' not my type of music . . . ???? if it is music???? . . . see, that is an opinion to which I am entitled, but I dont force it down anyones throat! I do like Peter Plant with Alison Krouss and 'Raising Sands' . . .

True, I retire in June . . . anyway, what wrong with enjoying relaxing 'pipe and slippers' music. I'm getting a little bit p**d off with being expected to change 'my way' . . . We all a have our own view and way of doing things . . .

My apologies to Robert Plant and Alison Krauss for the incorrect spellings of their names . . . dont alter the fact, Raising Sand is a superbly musical and 'laid back', modern 'pipe and slippers' style album party time!

I'm not sure Robert Plant would enjoy being classed as "pipe and slippers".

Definitety not "pipe and slippers" when he fronted Zep, a group who you claim " if it is music" but who have managed to be one of the biggest album selling groups of all time.

Thats fine, to extendand explain the description 'pipe and slippers' . . . to me, it is relaxing and musical, something I could listen to all night, I'm sure Mr Plant would be happy with that. As far as LZ is concerned, I'm expressing a personal view, we are all allowed our own preferences are we not?
