Abba have released 2 new songs as part of their “Voyage” project which seems to be a virtual concert

September 2021:

Shame the shows won’t be live. I guess they think that people will think they’re the grandparents of the original band :wink:

OK that is a song, the other one is a bit of an album filler

The cynic in me says.

They needed a couple of new filler songs for Mama Mia 3.

But damn those harmonies

ABBA are shit, dudes.

In other news Cat stress related illnesses have skyrocketed during lockdown on account of the fact that they genuinely do not like you being around so much

Our cats love the extra attention- when they wake up during the day that is…

Horrific.

An Afghan Refugee kid who’d just arrived has died here after eating Wild Mushrooms, a 2nd is in a very bad way even after a Liver Transplant

Meanwhile driving back in Slovakia today, saw large numbers of “appeared to be frozen” East Mediterranean kids desperately trying to sell wild mushrooms by the side of the road

Umm.
No. I have Mrs P_F for that who collected 12Kg for free

The rare ones already pickled when I got home!

So the story should have been some people die or are seriously ill through eating poisonous mushrooms and didn’t recognize poisonous from edible varieties - and left the Afghan bit out.

This sort of lazy sensationalist reporting - looking for a “topical” angle really pisses me off :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

In Engerlund maybe.
Over here the story is being reported with a far more tragic vibe to it and people are genuinely upset.

Also we have 2 Afghan Refugee issues here, that the MSM in UK probably gets wrong.

Afghan refugees are being welcomed everywhere. Then there is the border with Belarus where the idiot is firing his Afghan refugees at the EU in a hybrid war.

Everyone feels sympathy for them but equally they are political capital and can fvck right off.

And that’s just it, the article was from The Grauniad, which should know better.

It’s desperately sad but conflating eating the wrong mushrooms and Afghan refugees to get a story is pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable to get click-through & I used to be a staunch Grauniad reader, if only for the typos back in the day.
