I've just driven up to Nottingham from Leicester and at the traffic lights on the way out of Leicesterstan, guess which music legend was next to me....

Clue: he's a singer and your mam would have loved him.

He was always a weird colour, wasn't he? Looked liverish to me

He's on at the local music venue, the De Montford Hall, on 5th Nov.
If you've got a spare 30 notes.

WTF he's doing driving around now I have no idea, unless he's looking up his old flames :wink:

Dunno what he was doing there but it was on the A50 out of the city. An Audi A8 for anyone who is interested. From memory doesn't he have a house in Leicestershire somewhere? I think he was from there originally before he turned orange.

and fancy him recognising you :grin:

I quite liked his Hansel and Gretel but I'm surprised to hear he is still alive. By my reckoning he must be over 150 years old now.

The 'Last Waltz' was always played last at the Labour Club on a Sat night.

(To explain....we went to the Labour Club because beer was only 1s 6d a pint and because we wanted to laugh at Councillor Hanson doing the quick step....I was very young, but this is why I'm not taking part in the ages thread :uhoh:

)

Kinnel it was already one and eight a pint when I started drinking. OK I might have been VERY SLIGHTLY less than 18 at the time. And anyway Richie's club was dearer 'cos it was posh. :laugh:

P.S. for "ages thread" purposes, The Last Waltz came out in September 1967. :grin:

It may have come out in 1967 (when I would have been, oh, 7, roughly) but believe me the Labour Club was still playing it 10 years later

You try and bring a bit of culture to the board and this is what you get........................................... :roll:

Mind you, Ripper & culture is a big like Darlow's stadium and crowds. Very rarely are they seen together.

I'm not sure you can class self harming as culture!

I'm dead cultured me like.

I sit in the back garden to drink instead of the front one.

Although the neighbours were probably horrified to see the house prices round my way plummet when I moved in and started lighting fires in the back garden every weekend. :laugh:

Talk about culture you! Who was it who introduced the REAL Herr Humperdinck into this thread - or did that pass everyone by?

Of course nobody on here knows about the real Engelbert Humberdinck. Probably nobody knows who the real Jethro Tull, or the 'real' Uriah Heep or Duran Duran were either. :laugh:
