Cait Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) HAHA - you young whippersnapper you! Song words? playing the record over and over and writing them down, then later, playing the cassette and stopping and starting it! Occasionally 'Jackie' would have song words in! As for Philip Schofield - he was in the 'Broom cupboard' with what'sisname GORDON THE GOPHER!!!! Edited July 26, 2010 by Cait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I knew if i said John or Paul you would have said Ringo or George!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I knew if i said John or Paul you would have said Ringo or George!!! Well I am a member of the awkward squad. However I would really have preferred George, honest. He always seemed to have that magical, mystical quality of a man that was so much more than you saw on the surface. However this is all with hindsight of course - Beatlemania was just a bit before my time! Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Oh for sure! Beatles? were they like Adam and the Ants? Ah now Adam Ant! The first Mr HappyMaz and I used to dance to them a lot in our youth. We have an ant problem in our garden and youngest son went to tread on one I suddenly found myself reciting the lyrics to 'Ant Music' at him.

Inge Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 and this seems to have been hijacked by "those of us of a certain age" Beatles were a bit before my time... now Rolling stones on the other hand... along with Procal Harum, and Status Quo.. Elton John was starting out.. saw him at a local converted cinema.. in those days they had no seats on ground floor, only circle.. and had concerts in them... no multi-screens just the one large space... now I should return to 'our thread' and leave the toddlers to it!

JacquieL Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 and this seems to have been hijacked by "those of us of a certain age" Yes well when you get to my age it's hard for us to see properly so we misread things, and then forget what it was we read anyway. Long term memories not too bad though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
