I bought Horslips album ‘The Tain’ on the strength of this single, way back on first release.The magic has never faded..as neither have I :wink:
Hmm..butt cheeks mooning above low-slung jeans, hard hat, sweaty pectorals bursting out of torn checked shirt,dirty laugh..
yep I always dress to impress when going past a building site. :wink:My best friend and I went to see John Schlesinger’s directorial masterpiece (imo) FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD in Orpington High st. cinema, when we were giggling young schoolgirls. I had a pash for Alan Bates’s Gabriel Oak and she, for Terence Stamp’s Sergeant Troy.
I’ve watched this Hardy adaptation a dozen times or more, in the intervening years since girlhood, and I still cry at F.anny Robbins demise...but not as much as I slaver like a rabid vixen, over Alan Bates.. :P

An 80-year-old Scotsman goes to the doctor for a check-up. The doctor is amazed at what good shape the guy is in and asks, ‘How do you stay in such great physical condition?’
‘I’m a Scotsman and I am a golfer,’says the old guy, ‘and that’s why I’m in such good shape. I’m up well before daylight and out golfing up and down the fairways. I have a glass of Scotch, and all is well.’
‘Well,’ says the doctor, ‘I’m sure that helps, but there’s got to be more to it. How old was your Dad when he died?’ ‘Who said my Dad’s dead?’
The doctor is amazed. ‘You mean you’re 80 years old and your Dad’s still alive. How old is he?’
‘He’s 100 years old,’ says the old Scots golfer. ‘In fact he golfed with me this morning, and then we went to the topless beach for a walk and had a little Scotch and that’s why he’s still alive. He’s a Scotsman and he’s a golfer too.’
‘Well,’ the doctor says, ‘that’s great, but I’m sure there’s more to it than that. How about your Dad’s Dad? How old was he when he died?’ ‘Who said my grandpa’s dead?’
Stunned, the doctor asks, ‘You mean you’re 80 years old and your grandfather’s still living! Incredible, how old is he?’
‘He’s 118 years old,’ says the old Scots golfer. The doctor is getting frustrated at this point, ‘So, I guess he went golfing with you this morning too?’
‘No. Grandpa couldn’t go this morning because he’s getting married today.’
At this point the doctor is close to losing it. ‘Getting married!! Why would a 118 year-old guy want to get married?’
‘Who said he wanted to?’
