Blah-Blah Bar / Re: R.I.P Lou Reed
Seen him in concerts a number of times and never once played longer than 55 minutes. Never stopped me from going back. Take a Walk on The Wild Side, a timeless classic.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Karma
I'm a bit of a fishing tragic  ;D I'm on the Ausfish forum where a system of Likes, Dislikes and Thanks works very well. I've got something like 800 likes, 300 thanks and about 12 dislikes, most of those are from mates doing some stirring or reacting to the same from me.  :D

The system has been in place from a long time and works well and is not abused. You can see who has put a like, dislike or thanks on any post.

There are lot of great posts on here that I would love to give a thanks or like to and have that recognized by the poster. There's no point in getting a recognition if you don't know by who or for what, which is where the karma system fell down and was open to abuse.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Karma
The Karma thing is ok but you should be able to see on particular posts who gave it a like or dislike. It stops people abusing the system I think.

Can't believe that just because LR didn't like it that he seeked, then it was taken down. He's not that much of a prima donna surely.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Queen (The Band) - Fan or Foe ??
I never took much notice of them when I was into music in a big way, well bigger than now anyway. Nobody I knew back then ever played them. I would've put them in the same class as, say, Suzi Quatro.

After seeing that doco I think we missed something, especially not following their development as we did with other bands, waiting for the next record to come out then playing it over and over again.

Freddie M was an absolute star and, as with the best of them, died young.
