great thread


I wanted to contribute a Pogues album cover with the pope and JFK, but I googled Rum, Sodomy and the Lash and it wasn't that so I thunk on and googled Red Roses For Me and it wasn't that either. I don't think I've made this up. My uncle was a parish priest in West Cork and he would drive me around the back roads and we would see the pope and JFK over people's fireplaces and I used to think about the Pogues. So can anyone source my memory?

Quote from latest Rankin you may enjoy:


"...It had taken him ages to buy his first CD player, and even now he preferred vinyl. Siobhan said it was because he was 'wilful'.

'Either that or I've just not got the herd mentality,' he'd argued back. These days, she had an MP3 player and bought stuff online. He would tease her by asking if he could take a look at the album cover or lyric sheet.

'Your're missing the big picture,' he'd told her. 'A good album should be more than the sum of its parts.'

Asset, you given up? I was poo at it too and then got it: Keef said -

Slosh is your uncle!;-)

That, MP, is quite astounding.


Btw albumen and women (that joke never gets old) rateyourmusic may often appear first in google images, but as soon as we deep link to them they pull the image and it looks suddenly like we can't do the image linking thing. So use the next image in future.

    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
    • The MFI was probably where Iceland is now. This post makes me feel very old - went to a 30th birthday party in the garden at the back. Oh to be 30 again! 
    • Anyone upgraded their TV for Christmas?! I'm looking for a smallish Smart TV I can use with earbuds. Not more than 56cm high and  25cm deep. A 26" one used to fit.  Thanks!
    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet.
