That would actually probably work pretty well Mockney.:))


Asset: unfortunately not. Although I am of the opinion that I dress fucking cool! An opinion that is inexplicably not shared by my friends. In fact Mrs B recently likened my attire to that of a geography teacher.


?What?s wrong with geography teachers?? I said, ?If you had listened to yours more you wouldn?t have misdirected me at that last traffic-light and we wouldn?t be stuck in this traffic-jam.?


The swelling in my left ear is starting to go down.


But I digress?


I?ll shut up now shall I.

Aha ha ha! Cheers Annasfield and Brendan. It's just my age you know and the times I've lived through. I may be getting older but I refuse to grow up. I'm still 17 in my head. Now did I ever tell you about the time I went to see Toots & The Maytals at the Venue in Victoria or Dr John at Dingwalls?>:D

The bright yellow one? No, actually I don't drive. Never have. Would have been dead years ago if I had or somebody else would have. I prefer drinking and you can't do the two.


Ronnie Lane at Dingwalls, late '79 or early 1980. The poor man was hanging on to a post for support to stand up because of his MS but sang beautifully and with great feeling. Unfortunately the band backing him that night (including Johnny Kidd and the Pirates guitarist Mick Green and Ian Stewart (Stones)) had only rehearsed five numbers but the crowd loved him so much we got him to play the whole set again. Lovely man, great songwriter, much missed.

Oh right - thanks :))


I've grown up with music.My folks would always have the radio on or would be listening to one album or another. So much of the stuff I like these days is based on my childhood memories etc. i.e Squeeze, Queen, Van Morrison... The list is long. I know so much stuff from the eighties, but unless they were huge (e.g Queen etc) then I'd know the song, but wouldn't have a clue who performed it.

Just re read my comment Jah Lush - I didn't mean you were "old". Like you, I still think I'm 17 and it scares me to think that you had to have been born in 1990 to be that age now :(


I just assume everyone is the same age as me and then when people talk about things that happened before I was born, it all seems a bit strange. ;-)

Annasfield, I didn't take it to mean you thought I was old. I took it as a compliment that you thought I only sounded old when I talk about all those gigs that I went to before you were born. You sound like a top girl to me.


Bah! Queen, couldn't stand them. Although when I sang in a band we used to cover Now I'm Here. I actually walked out of one of their gigs. It was a free concert in Hyde Park. '75/'76 I think (there I go again). I was tripping off my tits and could only take about six or seven of their numbers before my friends and I had had enough of their pomp and bombast and made our way back to Dulwich for much needed liquid refreshment.

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
