Rise of the Nazis See how Adolf Hitler and the Nazis rise to power and usher in the death of democracy.

Watch this and tell me there aren't countless parallels between then and now. They’re not at the end-game yet, but day by day they’re inching closer.

Agreed. Watch this and tell me there aren't countless parallels between then and now. They’re not at the end-game yet, but day by day they’re inching closer.

This can’t go by without anyone mentioning the divine Neil Hannon, aka The Divine Comedy with the divine Songs of Love. This is Neil performing the song solo on an Irish TV show…

Random Rock Song Of The Night

Working Man
by Rush

This was one of the few popular Rush songs not co-written by Neil Peart, who hadn't joined the group yet (John Rutsey was their drummer). β€œWorking Man" was written by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson.

This is absolutely one of the best covers of a #Rush song I’ve ever heard. Absolutely phenomenal playing. Incredible seeing a teen band rock out so hard to such a epic and difficult song to play πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ #SpiritOfRadio #Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

A word of warning to unsuspecting readers of Roger’s. Be prepared for snot laughs and laughter cramps. Roger’s is a genius piece of work.

Agreed. That looks lush and perhaps needs a liberal dashing of β€˜broon’ but that looks suspiciously like a soft roll. Needs to be crispy I’m afraid, a softy just isn’t cutting it.

I saw the guys in Glasgow on this tour and they were breathtakingly good. What a show. Thanks for refreshing the memories.

Donate A Kidney | Make Your Mark Donating a kidney is an incredible thing to do. A living kidney donation is the best current treatment option for people who need a transplant

Was wondering how you sign up to be a living donor. For uk residents this site has info. www.donateakidney.co.uk
Also the NHS has details here… www.organdonation.nhs.uk/become-a-liv...
I’m a card carrier for organ donation at death but hadn’t considered live donation until now.

Feel for you. Have a listen to β€œTrump's Project 2025: Up Close and Personal” on your podcast source of choice for an idea of what might be in store. Sadly, the effects of this won’t be confined within your borders. Worrying.

M*A*S*H Classic, ageless comedy set in the most difficult of circumstances. Of course, growing up in the UK in the 70s we were spared the god-awful laughter track. HAS to be watched without the laughter track.
