Here in Virginia we have the New River which, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rivers_by_age" rel="nofollow">they say</a>, is a mere 300 MILLION years old, but is still new relative to the Meuse and the Yangtse.Peter Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395635409427347613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-47812384250880978052013-01-15T14:02:15.026+00:002013-01-15T14:02:15.026+00:00The New Seekers were nothing like the original one...The New Seekers were nothing like the original ones. Judith, Bruce, Athol and Keith could really make music, unlike the bunch of chancers who grabbed the name before anyone could object to it. And the original ones are now enjoying retirement back home in Oz while the ersatz versions are doomed, like the Flying Dutchman, to play Batley Working Mens Club until they drop.<br /><br />There was a time, before the rise of TV advertising, when the term 'new' was viewed with suspicion. What was wrong with the old one? And what indeed, other than the new version is designed to get you to part with your money all over again for the same thing. Alas, it happens to Bible translations as well - how many different ways of saying the same thing can there be?
