…Then I bought Foxtrot..round about the same time I used to soak my ciggies in TCP…dry them out in the airing cupboard..then puff frantically trying to get a high. Didn’t work..but I never had a sore throat :lol:

Owen..loved David Bowie best in his Ziggy days. The Man Who Sold The World was one of the first L.P.s I bought [the first was The Best Of the Move..and I kinda pinched that one] that followed about a year after I bought Starman as a single. I had quite a stash of singles before leaving them in front of the fire and finding them warped into…[Read more]

Thanks Poshy :lol:

James..saw the Lamb tour April 75 at the Usher Hall..it had been postponed from the previous November..which p/i/ssed us off..as by the time we got to see them they had gathered in popularity and we wanted to keep them all to ourselves Do I get any Brownie points for mentioning that Steve Hackett winked at me..before I nearly…[Read more]

Poshy..you can’t just leave me hanging..tell me more..’bout Peter’s mum :o

we were probably at some of the same gigs..James. Todd Rundgren..Camel [did you know Pete Bardsley died recently?] Hawkwind. I don’t suppose you were ever into Caravan? Never saw them at the Apollo…but That would have been a gig! Lynyrd Skynyrd..I still remember where I was when I heard about the crash…my bro played Freebird non-stop for a…[Read more]

Owen :lol: :lol: :lol: I didn’t manage any naughty mushrooms at Steve Hillage..but I tanned a whole bottle of vodka..I was supposed to be sharing it with my pals..but it slipped my mind. I’d promised to bring my brother home a Hillage poster..but was found curled up on top of it in the toilets in a pool of sick. I think I enjoyed the gig :lol:

James..you’re ruddy psychic. Peter Gabriel :D My friend and I adored this man when we were in our early teens..we were going to run away to Bath to be near him..These were in the days when he was still with Genesis….when wee Collins knew his place and stayed on the drums. We adopted the slightly shaved head look and black eyes that Peter made…[Read more]

James…thankyou! I bl@@dy LOVE The Sensational Harvey Band…I used to have a wee thing for Zal Cleminson. My own favourite was Boston Tea Party..

Best ever gigs had to be at the old Apollo..Barclay-James-Harvest..Yes..Steve Hillage…Tangerine Dream…too many to mention..but happy days..the best atmosphere :D

I DID go to church James….but I got thwown out for thwinging on the vicar’s catthhock :lol:

Nah..PB..that was Randolf Shiitler. Adolf’s holed up in a Bolivian Brothel. :?

REBIRTH…

WAIL

Cymorill…..I was just cruising through the lyrics..when I saw it..WHO’ll STOP THE RAIN?
..the best thing Creedence Clearwater Revival ever did..so now I’m singing away and am a very happy bunny indeed..a lovely start to the day :lol:

Ruby..you’re a bl@@dy scream :lol: :lol: :lol:

Those with sensitive stomachs..look away now..

Okay..so I’d been on the laxatives..and took my mum’s dog for a walk..I wandered too far from home when the shit hit the fan..or rather..the leggings[that dates me] and I was coated in keech from the waist down. I lumbered back to the house like…[Read more]

Mary..I DID used to use laxatives. I would crash diet all week..then on a Saturday night I’d have a big curry. Korma Sauce..Naan Breads..pakora..the works. I’d also have a large piece of laxative-choccy washed down with a big glass of orange-juice. Sometimes I never even made it past the pakora..if you know what I mean…
Don’t try this at home folks :-…

You’re right Mary…..though I hate black-bun. Does anyone ever eat the ruddy stuff? I also used to get fed-up at being the one shoved out the door before the ‘bells’ coz I’m tall and dark-hared….it was even more of a pi/s/ser when they didn’t let me back in..ha..ha :lol:

Hey Rubes…don’t knock it till ye’ve tried it :wink:

It’s actually..’May yer lum reek.’ usually used as a greeting at Hogmanay..translation..may your chimney reek of smoke… to smell of smoke..hence your fire is burning. To wish this is to wish prosperity to keep the house warm for the coming year. It’s also customary to hand over a lump of coal..though most hosts prefer a wee bottle of something…[Read more]

and good afternoon to YOU Fats…

Were you referring to Hielan’…Lowland or Gaelic Scots..Fats? Or maybe Dorric.how about Glaswegian or Border? Then of course..there’s that spoken by the Shetlander..did you know that’s based very much on old Norse?

..which brings me neatly back to your goodly self..you are an ill-informed woman attempting to…[Read more]

Em..no I didn’t pass Gyps..not that that ever stopped me..but my husband had to sit me on it and hold me on..I couldn’t take the bloody weight of the thing :lol: Now I’m stuck in a bloody wheelchair and I soooo miss the bikes..but I’d need to be hoisted onto the back of one by crane :lol: I still love to watch them though..superbikes and moto g.p. :)
