Aye. I love Jake Thackray. I think I may have posted the odd toob clip on here.

He always reminded me of my English teacher at high school. Different accent, but similar manner.

Couldn't find a vid of him performing North Country Song, but a kind toob person has uploaded the song from the album:

Always better to see him perform though. There's just something about the guy.

This is one of my favourites:

Molly Metcalfe

And on a lighter note, but also a favourite:

The Bull

I just realised something. He looks like someone merged Rowan Atkinson and Peter Capaldi.

Also: cultural note - the Yan Tan Tethera counting system exists in slightly different forms in many areas of the country.

Quote:

Yan Tan Tethera is a sheep counting rhyme/system traditionally used by shepherds in Northern England and earlier in other parts of England and the British Isles.[1] Until the Industrial Revolution, the use of traditional number systems was common among shepherds, especially in the dales of the Lake District. The Yan Tan Tethera system was also used for counting stitches in knitting. The words derive from a Brythonic Celtic language.

We got hit with something in Kokomo. I had just picked up my prescription at the Walmart pharmacy, when they started telling customers to go to the back of the store. About 10minutes later we lost the lights and the wind was roaring like a freight train. I left as soon as the tornado warning expired and I saw a lot of damage...roofs and porches blown off, power lines and some trees down and lots of damage to commercial buildings. It seemed the damage followed a path, but it looked really scattered, not as if a tornado blasted through.

Is the Gold Dust (or whatever that Steak House was called) still in operation?

I've only been here for 11 years and never heard of it. Neither has my husband.

It was somewhere west of the Chrysler plant and south of the Kokomo mall.

Also did the Golden Corral there on the south side off 31. While waiting for the steak, I pigged out on the many salsd bars. Suddenly a steak arrived, I had forgotten about the steak - ate too much.

I also remember a place where you catch the catfish, then have it cooked.

Is Denny's still there?

The people there also loved chicken fried steaks.

It was the first venue where I found tornado shelters throughout the building I believe marked by blue lights.

Update: found it-
Gold Rush
Is it still there?

Glad you're all right, Pico! That line of storms is incredible. I'm sitting in a small hotel near the Pittsburgh airport, waiting for the storms to come through. I just hope M'town doesn't get hit too hard - my cats are there. I know, small concern in the scheme of things, but they depend on me.

DanaC · 11-18-2013, 04:32 PM

Yeah....'pparently we have a fortnight's snow and ice to look forward to.

Wish I could send you ours. It is way less fun when you have to walk a dog three times a day. And when there are very few flat roads to walk on.

It was chillier today I admit.
Clear blue skies but no wind. Leaving at 06.00 skews my opinion though.

Q: do I really have nifty range of outer-weer or do I just not compliment enough?
I have people both in store and on the street stop me to praise my hats and coats. I can't remember ever doing that to others.

Oh, was icy on the little bridge to get to the store. Slippy-icy. Must remember. Stupid constructions. WHY can't paving stones and wooden walkways be made frost-free?! Am entering the period of terror of falling.

If temp drops into single figures I have to stop moaning about it.
Because then it's not due to my medication any more, and everyone will be in the same boat.
I need to ditch the fashion glow-in-the-dark skelly gloves and break out my hot pink Arran sheepskin ones. Am already wearing the handknitted socks when I wear boots.

Golden Corral, maybe? There's one of those in Kokomo.

Kokomo is fun to type.

Yeah, I'm pretty easy to entertain sometimes.

The tornado lifted the roof, blew the window in, blew the shade up an out, and dropped the roof on it.
