I'd say in this instance it's merely checking the song that that you probably have pinballing round your brain at the moment, but can't put a name to.

The 'It's on the tip of my tongue, honest' rule can be applied.

Was this car named Christine by any chance, Brendan?


Any way off you go.

Hello?


Come on I have tried really hard on this thread not to use lyrics from most of the bands I listen to and rather find ones that you normal folk will know.


I didn?t think these guys were that obscure. They?re even poms.


From the West Midlands, big in the ?90s, this was one of their biggest songs.


Played a style of music that shares its moniker with Nanny Ogg?s cat in Terry Pratchett?s Discworld novels. (just to be a bit obscure about it)

Ok not spelt exactly the same as the cat but anyway, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grebo for those that are interested.


Anyway not wanting to hold this up, here's one you can really sink your teeth into:

As everyone knows Grebos were Greasers with no work ethic.

One of the main protaginists was a band called Crazyhead who named an LP after the horse Desert Orchid, if I'm not mistaken.

I reckon The Anti Nowhere League fitted in to the category as well, probably best 'known' for their evisceration of Ralph McTell's Streets Of London.

I just knew that the money I invested in buying Sounds every week would pay off at some point.

Ok, I confess I was intrigued by the grebo clue as I used to be into those bands many years back, and I was sure it was Ned's Atomic Dustbin (my friend "dated" their drummer aged 16 and they invited us backstage when supporting the Wonderstuff at Brixton Academy, oh the excitement!), so I looked it up online and it was - Until You Find Out

That's fine, SG we mostly don't announce ourselves on this thread and the game is not 'ours', it belongs to the world.

And you brought some fine personal detail about the Dustbins that I for one appreciated.

Took their name from an episode of the Goon Show, a favourite of our own Prince Charles.

Sorry for breaking the lyric game for a bit there btw, mea culpa. Interesting thing that Sanity pointed out about Neds Atomic Dustbin is that, peculiarly they had 2 bass players so I suppose teenage girls were twice as likely to snog a basserist from them than from other bands.



Surely Anti Nowhere League are a punk rock band though Honestlucy.


Here is the next one directly from the womb of mainstream corporate rock so as not to cause any confusion. Although there is a link to the Seattle scene as a nod to the previous post.

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      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.
