@Allthingslib @PeteMcKee I used to work in Our Price in Harlow in the early 80s, and every single Saturday without fail, the Shaking Stevens albums would be moved from the 'Pop' section to the 'Rock & Roll' section
Never caught whoever did it, but had to admire their determination that Shaky wasn't Pop..
I once had to pick a mate up after he'd been in a 10 day coma.
The stuff he told me that went on in that ward on the drive home!! the raves, the football match with nurses, the visit from the Arsenal physios ( one of whom was his long lost son) etc etc๐๐
Just been to see a pal who has just got out of Ninewells Hospital, Dundee. He had an operation on Monday and was telling me that he had to get up at about 2am to complain to four drunk nurses; they were talking loudly, knocking over bins and turning on all the lights in the ward
Recall reading somewhere that Stipe's original lyrics were, somewhat bizarrely 'That's me in the kitchen' until a last minute change in the studio.
I mean, KITCHEN just doesn't work anywhere near as well as corner, does it?
Iโve asked this before but is there any historical event that is like the Opposite of 9/11. Like something so good that happened that it changed the world forever
@MsDayglo Yeah - I've got a v.early mid-80s Versace quilted with leather trim men's raincoat on there at the moment - fabulous looking thing, but bugger all interest at just ยฃ150
(was actually amazed I got ยฃ30 for a pair of totally-out-of-fashion Diesel jeans)
Who's the most unstoppable athlete you've ever seen in his prime? Not the greatest career, just the guy where the other team had zero answers and everybody watching knew it. Any sport.
@mrscmway@gazpunch@carryontitterin@WhenCarryOn Have used Omega Auctions in the past for film/music stuff...they specialise in that sort of stuff, but tbh, with online global reach, any decent auction house will take them off you
