A new thread - with apologies to the gerbils for leaving them out of the title.

Ha ha- he missed a trick there!

Meh!

I'll add I have no clue who Joni Mitchell is!

Not even "Big Yellow Taxi"????

<Goes off to google big yellow taxi>

"You don't know what you've got till it's gone..."

OK having now googled...

I've heard the song, but wouldn't have been able to say who was singing it if my life had depended on it!

It's a classic. You've got treats coming if you discover Joni now!

Paved paradise put up a parking lot 🎶

Oh farmer farmer, put away your DDT, give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees....

You don't get lyrics like that any more...

I didn't say I liked it! Just that I'd heard it! I mean it's OK but I wouldn't have it on a mix tape if they were still a thing!

There's definitely a baa humbug vibe coming off me today, I'll put it down to a splitting headache. I'm in grrrr mood!

I'm with you, Boily. Recognise the music but couldn't have identified the singer! But then I think I've already mentioned that my taste in music is almost entirely classical.

And mine whilst slightly more eclectic very obviously has massive holes in it!

I'll get me coat.

I prefer the original version, which is a bit more sprightly. Not to say her most recent rendition is bad though.

I wonder if Tom Jones has done a version 🤔

A quick Google hasn't turned it up. Sam Smith has which doesn't seem very nonbinary of him!

.

Oh dont! It's very definitely me not you!

I'm in a right nark today! I literally got out of bed the wrong side!

It's a "Fast Show" quote, which probably fails to come across in type.

Hooe your head feels better soon.

I've never seen the fast show!

Back to google I go!!

It's s family favourite with us and my adult children frequently quote bits of it.

Brilliant!!!

So... Having googled, I can confirm that whilst there are probably clips of it I may have seen over the years I can confidently say I've never watched it! Ever!

Ah boily our lives are miles apart. 😞

I'm sorry! I do know why I haven't watched it though! I can't stand Paul Whitehouse!

That's a truly beautiful scene.

Assuming you meant the flowers, I decided to give you a bunch (see first image below). It looked a bit cartoonish so I asked for a more realistic scene (see second image) and now I'm hiding behind the sofa!
