    If your post was aimed at my original post then the answer is yes lyrics to Hoochie Coochie Man - done by the world famous All and Sundry Blues Band

    Gypsy woman told my mother 'fore I was born,
    You got a boy-child coming, gonna be a son of a gun.
    Gonna make pretty women's jump and shout,
    And then the world gonna know what this all about.
    But you know I'm here.
    Everybody knows I'm here.
    Well, I'm the hoochie coochie man.
    Everybody knows I'm here.
    I got the black cat bone and I got a mojo, too.
    I got the John the conqueror Root, gonna mess with you.
    I'm gonna make you girls lead me by my hand,
    And then the world will know the hoochie coochie man.
    But you know I'm here.
    Everybody knows I'm here.
    Well, I'm the hoochie coochie man.
    Everybody knows I'm here.
    On the seventh hour, on the seventh day,
    On the seventh month, seven doctors say,
    "He was born for good luck, that you'll see."
    I got seven hundred dollars; don't you mess with me!

    I have just learned how to freeze Excel rows and columns at the same time. I'm so happy.

    we got our pup (the one in my profile pic) just before lockdown and its certainly made life so much more interesting, having a dog during lockdown does make it much more bearable for sure!

    I’m selfishly (if it could somehow magically make it not adversely affect others) wanting this lockdown to last ages. Your pup is a beaut and I bet s/he is loving all the attention she’ll be getting during this time, perfect timing for bonding.

    I have learned that there is a worse depressive feeling than say losing 5-0 to the fowls

    It's called tenable

    I have also learnt how resilient the human body is.

    My two shorter walks have been replaced by one massive walk of 7 miles plus a day, a lot of it cross country and trying to run some of it as well.

    It’s also given me time to dust the weight bench off and hitting that twice a day.

    Yet barring the odd DMS in the quads and my new shoes still breaking in I’ve hardly got any complaints, which given I’ve got knees made of poppadoms is quite remarkable.

    Don't be bloody ridiculous...of course it's not going on at the moment.
    The season doesn't start while October.

    Pheasants are very stupid birds. They are not members of the Tufty Club, that for certain. If you are driving along a country road and see one more n the verge, it will wait until you are almost up to it before it decides to cross. And they can make a mess of the front of your car.

    I was in digs in Leeds in the late 60's and used to go up to " Fred's Red bar" in the refectory
    at Leeds University most nights for a pint and a game of snooker. Periodically, they would have
    a live band on. Recall seeing Black Sabbath on one such night and saw Long John Baldry and
    his Band and they did a fantastic version of Hoochie Coochie Man. The place was absolutely rockin'.

    I've managed to walk 63 miles this week with the two dogs I take out. Feeling fitter than I have done for years.

    It's keeping me going. I live on my own & suffer from depression. Being outside & exercising really helps. I'm keeping to all social distancing stuff & taking massive precautions. Also cycling 30 miles a week to & fro to pick the dogs up. I'm a short arse & still 85 kilos. Want to get it down to 75.
