WW - makes you a youngster! I Love 1974 is more like it, by 81 they'd gone all noise & electronic so you couldn't hear the words properly. (Sorry Glenn can't say I've heard of Joe Strumer)

"And we sang shang a lang and we ran with the gang singing do op be dooby do ay" - ah they don't make songs like that any more

Glenn

I'm inclined to agree with you Pixie. It's always sad when people slip into early dementia.

Joe Strummer was the lead singer of the Clash btw.

WildWill

Just been told that I'm looking like death warmed up - not encouraging (

[Deleted User]

ah - heard of The Clash

to keep with the thread title perhaps we should try to remember the lyrics to Gilbert O'Sullivan's 'Alone Again.. Naturally", then I fear I'll end up in the correct forum too (injured by Glenn & pixie)

Glenn

It's when they omit the "warmed up" bit you have to worry Will.

Glenn

For information only, I do remember the words for "Alone Again Naturally". This is because a) I have an annoyingly photographic memory and b) I am not yet senile. Oh, and c) I was alive at the time. Unlike Pixie.

WildWill

Think i'll go out and get drunk again tonight

[Deleted User]

G
a) true :-)
b) you sure?
c) watch out pix, Glenn's on the pull


W - and if you look stressed they tell you to chill out!

Glenn

Will, that is just the kind of direct, executive level decision making that Nick and I demonstrated last week.

Nick, if I was in Hemel I'd come round and clip you round the head.

WildWill

AND, I'm going to have a McDonalds for lunch

[Deleted User]

Will, make sure it's a super-size meal, you need the carbs.

WildWill

I need it I'm down on my weight by a stone at the mo'

[Deleted User]

Morning all!!!
Whats all this melancholic talk of old age an ancient music...
Just about to head out for a pub lunch and then home for two hours of peace while the kids are at the panto (hope favourite son no 1 doesn't puke all over the kids in front, I have spent all weekend nursing him through his tonsilittis(spelling))!!

I got my flyer through this morning for Redcar....March 9th (nice and early...very chilly at the sea side).
Who's coming...Will, Glenn, Tulips, Gaz, Maccie (come on you have all shown an interest).

Running Duck

Good morning!

Wheres Redcar?

[Deleted User]

Its on the NE coast near Middlesbrough..
Howdy Fi, I think my mistletoe has scared of all the boys.

Glenn

Cool question Fiona! Another civilised southerner! The answer is: go straight up the A1. Turn right just before Middlesborough :-)

BBB, I've already said yes. I'm a man of my word!

Running Duck

I was beginning to think you were all ignoring me! Probably very wise.

Love the piccy BBR. I take it that this is the true life likeness?

Running Duck

Glenn I could continue about wheres the A1 etc....

[Deleted User]

Its a kinda likness Fi, Most of the hair is fake. The belly is just about right though!
The drive from along the A66 from the A1 to Redcar is truly breathtaking...you need a gas mask! as it takes you through the largest petro chemical industrial region in europe.

[Deleted User]

I can hear the pub calling.....catch you later!

[Deleted User]

Bloomin Southerners! Better pack your winter woolies, Redcar in March won't be particularly warm.

If you really want to experience the way of life of proper 'ard northerners, go for a swim in the North sea whilst you're there ;-)

Running Duck

Enjoy BBR!

Redcar sounds wonderful (not).

See you all later.

[Deleted User]

BBR, you should turn left instead of right onto the A66 and drive it all the way to Keswick, that's properly breathtaking, has to be one of the most scenic stretches of road in the country.

And I don't live there any more, boo hoo.

Glenn

I'm with you on that one Slowboy. And Redcar's not especially warm in August.

Did go swimming in the sea a few Boxing Days back though. Albeit at St. Ives, but it was hardly warm. There were seals in the water with me (not joking btw).
