A fiver! That's brilliant value even if I'm not much of a fan of Metallica I think that's a very honourable thing to do for their fans. As much as I love the Stones seeing them the O2 last year the tickets were ?150 each although luckily for me I didn't have to pay as a friend who was a big cheese at EMI until his recent redundancy got me the tickets for nothing.

Hmmm...I've been offered tickets for forthcoming gigs by Jerry Lee Lewis (100 Club) and Little Richard and for the same reasons I don't want to tempt fate as they are both getting on a bit.

The Prettiest Star - David Bowie

Oh me too. I really like the Pet Shop Boys remix of that as well. John, I'm Only Dancing - David Bowie

Amsterdam - David Bowie

You Need Hands - Max Bygraves (sniggers);-)

Jeez! I'd almost forgotton about Joe Jackson. I remember seeing him do a really good set at the Crystal Palace Concert Bowl supporting Bob Marley in 1980. Which reminds me, this is a classic clip and great song.

Mary Of The Fourth Form - Boomtown Rats

Mary Ann With The Shaky Hand - The Who

I'd go for John Terry as England captain, thug or not he has plenty of passion on the pitch and he's as brave as a lion. I have a sneaking suspicion he's go for Beckham though as it's tradional in Italy for the oldest players to be the captain. Managed to miss all the football over the weekend as I got completely shit-faced for most of it although I did slip into the CPT to watch the Man Utd v Newcastle game. I thought Man Utd were well below-par and I was very impressed with two of the new signings Newcastle had made in Coloccini and Gutierrez. I'd rather not talk about the Spurs result. I was rather hoping we'd get off to a better start than that. We're obviously still quite a few players short, especially up front.

Who's That Girl - Eurythmics

With all due respect Ladygooner:- Come on the Baggies! And, Come on you Spurs!

To which I'll add Mona Lisa and Last Orders both of which had location shoots around East Dulwich and Peckham. The pub scene in Last Orders was filmed at The Wishing Well on the corner of Benenden and Choumert Road.

She's A Woman - The Beatles

Wicked! >:D

Yeah! I remember I was there too. A Guy Called Gerald - Voodoo Ray

Being straight myself I'm a bit baffled too James, I have to say that is a bit weird, but students eh? Bunch of knobheads.

Having worked on The Sporting Life for 23 years until it closed in '87 I'd been known to have flutter but strangely enough once I'd been made redundent I lost all interest in horse racing and gambling. Mind you, I'd seen so many mugs over the years win and lose a fortune on the same afternoon that I was never a big gambler. But a small little wager to keep an interest in whatever it is your betting on is pretty harmless just as long as it doesn't become a habit and take over your life.

Cheers Lozzyloz. Saw Black Uhuru supporting the Stones back in '82 and Shine Eye Gal is one of my favourite tracks of theirs. Saw this lot too around the same time.

This one's for you Lozzyloz and for me too of course.

Kid Creole and the Coconuts were fecking brilliant live. Saw 'em twice.

She's My Best Friend - Lou Reed

Kiss, Foreigner, Bon Jovi, Dire Straits, Queen... the horror, the horror.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear indeed! But one other good thing Bowie did in the 80s was this - David Bowie - Absolute Beginners

Hello Old Friend - Eric Clapton
