Awww I like the Beiber!

Slinks I would be furious. I know the exact sort you mean just don't let you get a word in edge ways. 

Angel I read about that today, is the wedding in Newcastle or Manchester?  I'm in the toon the morra, I might put a hat on.

My oldest 2 are always threatening to put themselves up for adoption, i'm surprised they let me on their facebooks. Mind, the oldest one only accepted my request today. 

So would I if I was 15  

if you're going near them you'd be better putting on an NBC suit

When I was 15 I liked my crushes dead. My walls were adorned with posters of Jim Morrison, Bon Scott, James Dean and Janis Joplin   

Bieber would have been far too alive for my liking.

Cinds - I had a major crush on Marc Bolan. 

Marc Bolan (well TRex) was number 1 the day I was born.   There's a useless fact that I'm sure will make you sleep better tonight.  

I'm watching Alan Carr too, what are they doing and who is the man whose crown jewels they are stealing?

Don't know. As soon as I move from the sofa they change the channel. We're on Who wants to be a millionaire now. I have the finale of Touch to watch so they're getting booted off in about 2 mins 

i don't know what the game's supposed to be but the bloke's one of the Made in Chelsea cast

Having a debate with the kids about history. I win...I'm older  I won the last question on Millionaire btw about succession to the throne. 

Not even attempted to read thread yet, stealth post, but 'pon watching BBC4 I have realised that Scott BB modelled his look orf of Glenn Gregory out of the Heaven 17 c.1983.

Oh, hai Cinds.

Marc Bolan was a cheeky fabulous rock god as demonstrated thus





But my Clive Dunn bithsongfather beats the living bejesus out of yours, read it and weep

Cont'd...



My birthsongfather, Clive Dunn, actually only 46 years old now.  They did make-up.

I feel so old! This was number one when I was born

That's sad but very funny.  He sounds cracking

Johnnie Ray is cool as referenced by Dexy's Midnight Runners in Come On Eileen, a mobile disco classic. 



From that era, I prefer this guy...

...wait for it

My mother.....59 years old still has a pic of Marc Bolan beside her bed. That's dedication  

Mr Gene Vincent oh yes. 

Love it Fracas but cannae beat T Rex 

I grew up listening to them. Mum had them on all the time. We had an abstract pic of Marc Bolan in our downstairs loo (we were posh...2 toilets) 

As the years have gone on I think I'm more into T Rex now than her. Where she had a teenage crush on him....I've grown up listening to a bloody good bass line and a great song writer. No denying he was one good looking man but he also made some good music. I wonder if my kids will feel the same about Matt Goss when they're my age? 

Oh god Sooz and Cags it's taking me ages to post, but I've got Norris McWhirter here and he says you're both Record Breakers, Sooz for being the oldest person in living memory  <-- hi from the future, and Cags's mum for dedication to Tyrannosaurus Rex.  Don't blame me, blame Norris.

I remember you posting about your mum being a Tyrannosaurus Rex fan, Angels Seers and Sages etc, and that is my favourite stuff to listen to.  Electric T Rex / Marc is very shexy though.  He was such a performer :')

Lucky she doesn't read here because I bought her Xmas pressie already. I'm taking her to see The Rasmus in the Garage, Glasgow in December. She's a bit of a rock chick 

Music was just that back then....music. If my mum was here listening (or reading) she'd say "I told you so" and she'd be right. There's a lot of stuff round now and believe me with 3 teenagers in the house I hear all sorts but IMO real music has to have real instruments and the best of that was in the 70s/80s 

AND.....I won't be pregnant anymore. I'm missing Rockness, I'm missing T in the Park, I'm missing Download so you can be damn sure I'm gonna make the most of this. 

And she WOULD be right, I discovered Tyrannosaurus Rex as a teenager and had (and still have) a C90 with Angels, Seers and Sages / and People Were Fair / easily dismissed as hippy shizz by those who never listened.  Good bongos!  Your mum's ace (you must have all had kids young though, my dad would be 81 and loved Nana Jeffing Mouskouri and Eartha Kitt)

When I first saw this, Demis looked about 100 and Nana 90-ish.  This is how I look to my nephews and nieces, no matter how groovy I act

How did I forget to mention: Highlight of the week must have been:

Jedward carry Olympic torch in Dublin

Oh!   I loved that!!  (ta for posting it)

I love that they wore their Jeremy Scott winged trainers (Greek god styley) 

Stand up - holding onto something in front of you, kitchen bench perhaps.

Bend ya knee, foot behind you but only the tip of your toes touching the ground, heel uppermost.

Now - waggle that heel left and right quite fast whilst ya toes remain still.

I LOVE doing that !!!

No idea why 

 Hola

Clive Dunn your birth number 1.  Seething with jealousy!

Mine was the Everly Brothers - Dream.

(I'm a bit under the weather today and can't muster up enough energy to go hunt out a video. )

Awwwwwwwwwww Angel thanks for posting that. I love those boys  bless em. Who would have thought they'd be doing all the stuff they're doing now when they first auditioned for X Factor? They have done well haven't they?

Fluff - ^^^ hope you're feeling better soon.

aww, I like that

Thanks Soozy, It's not too bad most of the time,but the strained muscle in the back of my left leg is 'fair louping' (throbbing strongly) at the moment and it's still a bit too soon to take more painkillers.

I have some more pictures of my great nephew.  

Another one, just after he was born.  What an effin porker

And here's another where he looks kind of nice.

Loving the hair.

ohhhmy, big hair! !  Looks like he was born a toddler ! He's lovely Cinds
