mottaloo Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Back on the day when bands mimed on top of the pops.....all well and good for singers and guitarists/keyboards/wind instruments but I have often wondered how the drummers get on with drumming to a mimed song ? Surely hitting the drums will make enough sound and if they're a bit off sync with the music then what ? Do the microphones near their kits get turned off to offset that ? One for VT muso experts I guess..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 We’ve got quite chunky silencer pads on our drums in the house. It’s still bloody loud, then once in a while you take the pads off for a blast and realise just how ridiculously loud they actually are and what a job the pads are doing.

Not as loud as the PA in the TOTP studio (or equivalent shit miming TV programme) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follyfoot Posted January 9 VT Supporter Share Posted January 9 (edited) How much time do professional eaters like Kate Ovens (how on earth does she eat what she eats) spend on the toilet. Just watched her eat a 32 ounce fish with a mountain of chips the usual breakfast challenges et cetera. it all goes in at once so I’ll be fascinated to know her internal workings. I was going to try messaging her on TikTok, but decided against it Edited January 9 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely she just eats a heathy diet and exercises and only does eating challenges a couple of times a month. One enormous meal isn't enough to undo a good diet. It's not like she wats 5 pizzas every time she has a meal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most domestic use doors are 726mm or 826mm wide. If they made the door openings wider, the doors wouldn’t fit, they’d just sort of flap about in the hole.

KentVillan Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 What / where is Saint Dominic's Preview? Is it a real thing? All I can find on Google is stuff about the Van Morrison song and album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted January 14 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14 Does feeding will birds create an imbalance which is bad for nature? We've got a couple of bird feeders that generally benefit the smaller garden birds. And a couple of nesting boxes that help Blue Tits and Great Tits. So are there far more Blue Tits, Great Tits, Coal Tits, Goldcrests and Nuthatches than there should be. They tend to feed the little green caterpillars to. Their chick's in breeding season. Are those insects being decimated because of too many small garden birds? Are larger birds suffering because they're being out competed by the smaller birds? I don't know but it's something I've wondered about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Dominic's is a church in Belfast and a church in San Francisco both of which were holding services to pray for peace in NI around the time the song was written. The preview bit isn’t a thing, I think it’s just Van taking his view of the events in both churches before the events. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
