    Only in Russia

    As usual, please hide things that'll make pages slow to load for mobile devices. Every forum lounge needs an 'Only in Russia' thread. Meet 'The Punisher', a Russian bus driver who 'punishes' drivers who cut him off. I bet all the drivers who look at this wish they could do the same!

    The Blues/Roots Thread

    Seeing as there isn't a blues thread I thought I'd start one to see if there are any other blues lovers here. Whilst blues is my main love musically I'm also into 'real R & B', as in, rhythm and blues from WWII through to the soul and funk of the seventies and eighties. One of my favourite...
