  1. Dune = WUM. Don't pander to him! Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2
  2. I have said this all along. I am convinced. Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2
  3. Went to the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970. When we arrived, the first thing that we went to, after putting our tents up, was a large "blow up" marquee, with an air-lock at the entrance. Inside was a soup kitchen giving away free soup and bread (God knows what was in the soup!) and Hawkwind were in there playing a set, with film being projected on them - at least I think it was! It may have been the result of the "soup"!
  4. This book is soon to be released by local (well IoW) author Adrian Searle ( who just happens to be my son-in laws father!) and looks very interesting. Big review here in The Independant:- http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/pathetic-fantasist-or-nazi-spy-the-mysterious-mrs-ogrady-7768836.html?origin=internalSearch. Should be worth a look.
  5. Video from the Toronto production. Looks stunning.
  6. I`m sure that this has been posted elsewhere, but has anyone seen this guy? Genuine? WUM? Football Agent South [h=2]@South_Agent[/h]Football Agent - Inside transfer gossip from Southampton, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Sunderland, Portsmouth, Tottenham, & more.
  7. How does your original post sit with the last paragraph in your last one? Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2
  8. Totally agree. It is quite often when a song is stripped right down that you realise what a good bit of songwriting it is. It is about the song - not the overall sound.
  9. June Tabor and Oysterband on Later.... with Jools Holland tonight.
  10. Reading the comments, it would seem like yet another "Fantasy Island" feature.
  11. I am very disappointed. When I saw the thread title, I thought that it was going to be a discussion about the origins of the American Civil War!
  12. We managed to keep away from the problems in the ground (really don`t know how!!) but it was the coach trip back to the airport (about 15Km I think) that was the problem. The coaches were under continual attack from yobs on little motorbikes who were throwing bricks, drain gratings and just about anything else that they could lay their hands on at the coaches. I was on the back seat of the last coach and by the time we got to the airport, we had about 2 windows intact. As you say, the airport lounge resembled a war-zone.
  13. This is very sad shocking news indeed. England hasn`t produced many top quality riders recently but Lee has been one of our best for a while and genuinely seemed like a nice bloke. This will sadden Speedway fans everywhere. http://asia.eurosport.com/motorsports/british-speedway-dies_sto3270215/story.shtml
  14. Went to both legs of this. The Anderlecht away was really enjoyable. The Marseille away was the most scared that I have ever been at a match before or since!! Get shivers down my spine thinking about it even now!!
  15. "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Oysterband and June Tabor
  16. Was really into Cream when I was younger with Disraeli Gears being the epitome of Prog-Rock (overlong drum solo`s, tracks lasting for hours etc) and I loved it! Also Blodwyn Pig, Mick Abrahams band after he left Jethro Tull. Gentle Giant (mentioned earlier) evolved out of the Pompey band Simon Dupree and the Big Sound (Kites). A lot of the prog-rock groups evolved from the blues/R&B boom of the mid to late 60`s and of course the Punk movement of the mid 70`s was a direct "protest" against the bloated thing that prog-rock had become.
  17. No Comments yet??
  18. Just watched "Stolen Lives" on Sky. Didn't know much about it but turned out to be a damn fine film. A policeman whose young son is missing is assigned to a 50 year old case eerily similar. Well worth a watch. Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2
  19. After all these years it still haunts me. A time when doing the simple thing would have made all the difference.
  20. Indeed! Great, great memories.
  21. It was your own fault. You ran out in front of me!!
