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.....

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
