He was the one that stood out as he who correctly decided that the name 'Steven' could only be spelt with a 'v' rather than a 'ph'. I think he may well have given out an edict. Or somesuch. If not a Papal Bull. Anyway without him, we'd not have Morrisey. Probably. And for most right thinking people, that would be a bad thing.

And I'll see your Jameson's, with a large Bushmills, fer no good feckin' reason whatsoever.

The One And Only - 'Chesney' Hawkes

A big fat happy Paddie's Day to all and sundry. Whether you're from Wexford or Wolverhampton, Limerick or Lytham St Anne's, Dublin or Devon may the road rise to meet you and may you continue to confound God's wrath by lying in the confessional. Go on, go on, ah sure you know you want to, GO ON!!!

I ate 'ot dogs last night. Blimey, that was a bit American. Anyway Elms said that the Mott The Hoople 'four fer' was one of the greatest he'd ever hosted. You don't even have to have heard of Mott The Hoople to love the bones of the man for making such a statement. Sure, you don't.

And LM, you continue to call this man 'hubby'? For continuing to be webbed-up to this excresence, I salute you as a queen of your sex and a model of tolerance. My admiration knows no bounds.

Sorry RosieH, there is no way round your not despising yourself. It's going to happen and I feel for you. I would go for the Chris Griffin out of Family Guy, look. Blonde wig, fat suit, baseball outfit and towel. And just pretend to mop up after everyone else. Unless you really have to mop up any fluids, in which case it might give you a little 'leverage' as for as negotiating your new conract goes. Know wham sayin'? As for throwin' thee'sen off a viaduct, what put them ideas into yur 'ead. Bloody fancy Holdorn Viaduct, at that. If tha 'as to, chuck thee sel' int' cut, an' 'ave done. Can't be 'avin' these fancy London drownings.

Perhaps. But let it be known, I can be as bluff and regal as the next man. More so, if the next man is Prince Charles.

Black Scorpio - Mott The Hoople

The Candyman, on his breakfast show would remark along the lines of 'perhaps that might be a subject for the Robert Elms show' when a topic got what he thought might be a little 'over Londonish'. I think DB is a genius of radio and Elms is a hard worker. I like Elms, he works hard at what he does, I think his skill is in surrounding himself with interesting people. And this is despite the fact that I encountered himself and Sade, while working in Jones in the King's Road in the 1980's. She was charm itself, and complimented me on my shirt (purchased from my chums Chris and Mick at Rock-A-Cha in Ken market), I'm not saying she fancied me, but I wouldn't dismiss the possibility either. It's fair to say I was quite the 'hottie' at the time. He was a grumpy bastard who hustled the lovely Miss Adu out of the shop. I assume he was having a bad day, and I have borne him not an ounce of ill-will on the matter in the ensuing years. Even to the point of actively promoting his Mott The Hoople 'four-fer' on this very forum. If there was ever a hatchet, consider it buried, Bob.

Brendan Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Go as a fat drunk man shouting at the telly. Oh, stop it Brendan, the likelihood of RosieH being able to drag up as me, seems pretty remote. While at the same time getting her in front of a TV showing Dickinson's Real Deal, seems remoter still. You're living in a fantasy world, man.

Alone Again, Naturally - Gilbert O'Sullivan

Largish boxess of 50 cigarettes dished out to your 'oul fella at Christmas. Particularly Senior Service, nicked at will and subsequently choked over on the bus to school.

Chocolate cigars. 'Sweet' cigarettes. But, I mean how else were we supposed to learn how to smoke?

Let's not get snootable about coal tar. I frequently apply to my bath, Tidman's sea salt, a capfull of Dettol and lather myself up with a handsome bar of Wright's coal tar. I leave my tub redolent of a 1930's millhand, and none the less 'sexy' for it, as some of the young 'uns might be inclined to put it. I mean seriously, you've only to smell me.

Lord Sornoff Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Tosh Lines. Niche choice, Sornoff, but 'good spot' as the downstairs staff might have it.

Kensitas cigarettes. Consulate cigarettes. Smoking a Dunhill in order to look old enough to get into an 'X' rated film. Obviously when one wasn't 'X' rated enough oneself. Smoking in the cinema. Cigarette ads in the breaks at the cinema. Timing it just right so that at the end of the Consulate cinema advert, one was able to correctly shout out 'donkey's arse' in place of 'mountain stream'. As in 'cool as', thereby getting a good laugh from the patrons of the ABC Elephant & Castle, some of whom might be appreciative teenage girls who would applaud that sort of low level derring-do. Cinema management being unappreciative of, what would be seen as cutting-edge protest, and even satire and giving the worthy protaginist the 'bum's rush'. *Saying little, but giving quite the stare to the ABC Elephant & Castle*

And as for brickies...Kraftwerk? Are you taking the piss?

For the the life of me, I can't see why Kraftwerk would be working on a plumbing job. It makes no sense. Tarmacing on the other hand, I can see that. They'd have some fun with it. Triple fun if necessary. They strike me as being half-decent sparks as well. Though I'd not give 'em a half day as chippies.

You teased me with 'Whizz Kid' but then you throw in 'No Wheels To Ride', which of course it would take a heart of stone to resist. You temptress. I can do nothing else but fall at your feet in helpless adoration. Obviously apologies to Mister LadyMuck, but in many ways it serves him right for getting involved with a 'Midnight Lady' such as your good self.

This would have work perfectly if FFJ had saved it up for a Graham Norton interview. Think man, think.

What a gear notion LadyM. Let's lobby the council to give them individual names. May I somewhat inevitably suggest Mott The Hoople for the one nearest the CPT. On the basis that the bassist Pete Overend Watts never met a bike he didn't like.
