Well of course, one's flattered and everything, but of course one doesn't seek this sort of attention.

Not that one's not pleased by LuLu being in love with one, so sudden and so welcome.

Most of all one is just so grateful not to be sharing a prison cell with TLS and Mick Mac.

One likes living in a world where hearing one's farts is not considered a luxury.

Why bless you Giggi, you reference an Ian Hunter song. You'll always be special.


HUGS.

HB you're very naughty. OK now I'm going to be naughty too and get all name-droppey. This will impress the pants of you.


A few years ago I went to a David Bowie gig at the Hammersmith Apollo (I think our own Mr McGhabban may have been lurking somewhere around and about at the same gig). Anyway, I sat next to Ian Hunter's daughter, Tracy. Her boyfriend's friend later provided me with a bootleg of the gig, which I still listen to and which has given me much pleasure. Could my connection with Ian Hunter possibly be more tenuous?


How impressed are you HB? On a scale of 1 to 10?

Which Singer of a Group at The Oval Rooms(R.I.P) Kennington was passed a chair onstage in around 1971 when I attended in the tightest conditions I've known and shouted out "Don't need it! I'm not a f****ng cripple!"....you won't need to "phone a friend" to name this "Young Dude"...

That would of course be a ten Giggi. With a bullet.

Could you be more perfect.

Now that's impressive KK. Meeting members of Mott The Hoople's old support group. Well done.

    • Thanks everyone for responding. I'm continuing my research, as I still can't shake away the folklore tales and still believe that there maybe an element of truth in the existence of a Roman Fort on the site of the  currrent Dawson's Heights. If anyone has any further knowledge please come forward and share.  Thanks MrEd for your last link in your post. It was fascinating to see how close the Roman road (and hence Roman activity) was to our area. 
    • It really is  affecting the nervous system I agree hate it !
    • I really like Romeo Jones, Sad its going. I refuse to frequent Gails & Megans I cant bear the homogenisation of London. Its become such a bland city now.
    • It's permitted because the council grants an events licence. But if you were to blast music from your back garden for 10 hours a day accross four days, they'd shut you down on day one. There will be a noise plan in place, but it is probably the same as the one for the GALA festival, which dismisses any breach of the agreed noise levels as long as they are brought back within limits witihn 15 minutes. In other words, a breach is never really a breach according to the council. This is why local residents feel exasperated.
