Today, in the big Boots by Bond St tube I was standing behind:


Jimmy Paige


Had to tell somebody.


I am cursing myself because there was a stray strand of hair stuck to the back of his coat, I could have plucked it off SO easily. How much would a hair of Jimmy Paige go for on Ebay I wonder?


Am now soaking in Led Zep memories; squeezing my lemon as I type.

Holy christ put this in the religion topic.

I would have died and gone to Led Heaven.

Is it just me but does he look more oriental as he gets older and greyer?


One of the actresses in the play with me works as a hostess in the VIP lounge at O2.

I mean, can you imagine?

No, seriously.

I once stood behind a long-haired flouncing git in the queue in camden virigin, harping on about how the music he was playing was a little bit Manic Nirvana a little bit Physical Graffiti. I coughed *tosser* under my breath and as he turned around it was Robert Plant!!

I immediately felt simultaneously starstruck and a bit of an idiot...but he is a bit of a flouncing git isn't he.

Actually Peckham Rose, a good friend of mine lives in a rural village near Wolverhampton (a bizzare juxstaposition I grant you). Near this village is the home of one Robert Plant.


I have seem him in and around the village a number of times and have twice been sat in a curry house with the great Percy.


Anybody know where John Bonham is buried?

May I sniff your coat please? I am in awe!!!!!


I saw him on the outrider tour in 1986 (IIRC) had front row, in the centre at Newcastle City Hall. He sat down tith his Dan Electric and I shouted "You really going to play Black mountainside - White Summer?" - "How did you know?" he replied. "You use that guitar for those songs because of the tuning....." He just laughed and shook my hand....never washed of for a week.


Miserable git never gave me his scarf at the end of the gig though...despite becoming bezzie mates in an instant...


Still always the next tour to look forward to.....

    • Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
    • Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.   
    • @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
    • I'd quit this thread, let those who just want to slag Labour off have their own thread.  Your views on the economy are worth debating.  I'm just stunned how there wasn't this level of noise with the last government.  I could try to get some dirt on Badenoch but she is pointless  Whilst I am not a fan of the Daily Mirror at least there is some respite from Labour bashing. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/grenfell-hillsborough-families-make-powerful-36175862 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage-facing-parliamentary-investigation-36188612
