I can't remember who said it in the vocalist thread, but I've never come across a chat that has given me so much pleasure.


Absolutely extraordinary.


I studied all that poetry shite and it kind of left me less enamoured, but the vocalist thread has given me so much happiness I feel I have to share it with you!


If you haven't done it (and I never would, it's like that 'listening to...' thread, full of bollocks etc.) please, please do go and look up some of the names on that thread and turn up the volume.


Wow.


You're all idiots sometimes (;-)), but whatever my small minded tinkering with debate, you've genuinely changed my life from 8,000 miles away. Thank you.


Anyone else had similar change your life moments?


Anyone who says 'baby' is fired.

At The Cold Blow Lane End, Millwall with the 'dads' and "lads" for the first time - noise, smells, unruliness...that incredibly green pitch AND in the middle of all this tribal chaos the sudden apparently random unified belting out of 'Knees Up Mother Brown'...still remember it over 45 years later

The Southbank must have changed a bit since I last went with the other Dads to take in a Pasolini retrospective at the NFT followed by by an exhibition of contemporary kinetic sculpture at the Hayward

Mine was musical too.

11 years old, liked whatever my brother did, which was mostly early u2, simple minds, dire straits etc.

Then my mate's aunt di....err went on a long holiday, and left...err behind, all her vinyl to my mate.


He, myself and another friend spent much of that summer carefully examining g these amazing albums, each one treated with a genuine sense if reverence as we removed them from the sleeves and listened for the first time the likes of Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, Uriah Heap I'll finish this list soon

Mine is golf. Aged 16 had only played parkland golf before. My dad drove me up to the north Antrim coast for a comp I was playing in and via the coast road we came round the corner and looked down on royal portrush golf club as it snaked through the dunes. An incredible site for me and I will never forgot the feeling of excitement and anxiety it filled me with. My dad has passed away since so if I recall it now it always is tinged with a little sadness too as I guess most memories are.

As a late teenager I would have to say "Jill P."...


Stayed the night at her Parents house after playing a few games of Scrabble and Monopoly. Was bemoaning the fact that she did not have a Subbuteo Table like my Male friends would have and eventually went alone into one of the 4 Bedrooms.


Mysteriously Jill found her way into my room within 10 minutes of me retiring for the night, while her Parents slept peacefully down the passage and I never played Subbuteo again....


When I awoke the following morning I was alone again.


Perhaps I imagined it....

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
