I've just written a long response to last nights crazed comments - only to remember that I was doing so on the laptop that doesn't publish my comments!
So - the abridged version:
Charles also had hot hair in 1977. This was the year we got married and it had disappeared within 12 months!
James doesn't think he will go bald, because he's read somewhere that it is the mother's line that determines when hair loss will occur and as my Dad had a pretty good head of hair well into his eighties, Jim is clinging to that theory.
I actually like Phil Collins!
LILY & ROSE
Here are some photos of Lily & Rose. There are a few from the first time we saw them when they were just 4 weeks old. They would fit on your hand at this age and didn't look much like westies!

James is right. Paternal grandfather so my mother tells me (but only perhaps because my dad lost his in his 20's and my grandfather had a full head of air till his death at a ripe old age)
ReplyDeleteNow....look into my eyes....not to the side, but directly into my eyes....No you don't really like Phil Collins at all. Nobody can... no... you only think you do. You vaguely remember Live Aid and his feeble attempts to play piano instead of drums. You certainly do remember him boring everyone senseless with his thin whiney self piteous voice singing about his marriage break up over and over again till the public was eventually numbed into thinking.....aaah poor Phil....didn't he used to be in Genesis? It was not a good sound good...not good. Understandably though, these years were particularly barren ones in the pop world and darker ones politically... The public desperately latched onto his brand X of pap after his breathtakingly crass impersonation of the great (not yet cold in the grave) John Belushi as Jake Blues singing "You can't hurry love". AND IT WAS UNFORGIVEABLE....... So...if you happen to see him down one of the supermarket aisles on geriatric day you MUST terminate his command. Terminate with extreme prejudice! You know it makes sense.
You see, I was a Genesis fan till The Lamb lies down....". A Peter Gabriel fan (still am) and I liked Phil singing "For absent friends" on Nursery Cryme nearly 40 years ago. But he really should have stopped here:-

Now....when I post this crazed hate fuelled rant.... you will forget everything except that you hate Phil (I'm working class me) Collins...
Head of air?
Who am I? Where am I? Who are you?
ReplyDeletePhil Collins - can't stand the man and don't dare try to persuade me otherwise!
(What happens when I wake up? I'll probably still not be able to remember what I did five minutes ago.)
(Which album is 'Ripples' on? I always loved that!)
Me opinionated? Nah!
ReplyDeleteSorry, maternal grandfather. Don't know what came over me. See what happens when you dabble in the evil that is Phil Collins?
It was from "A Trick of the Tail" which I did own but got rid of to a "new" Gensis fan from Ellesmere Port. I thought it was lame by comparison.
But just to exorcise any remnants of this terrible evil I link you to a far better tune by The Grateful Dead called "Ripple" and challenge you to recall another tune which is very similar but also not as good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVdTQ3OPtGY
Found it quite hard to pick up any tune really - and when I did, all I could think about was that song from Joseph about any dream will do - and I'm quite sure that was NOT what you were thinking of!!
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed reminiscent of Any Dream will do from Joseph.
ReplyDeleteFound it hard to pick out any tune? Found it hard to pick out any tune? ANY TUNE? FOUND IT HARD????
Now I need to lie down
Yeah - but once I realised the volume was on mute, I got it sorted!
ReplyDeleteSmart reply gets you neatly out of a situation... Reminds me of the old joke "What's the difference between a stoat and a weasel?"
ReplyDeleteAm I supposed to say, "Go on then, what IS the difference between a stoat and a weasel?"
ReplyDeleteWell seeing as how you smartly weaselled your way out of the Grateful Dead insult I'll tell you. It's really very simple......one is weasely recognised and the other's stoatally different...and yes its certainly been one of those confined to barracks, stir crazy days hasn't it?
ReplyDeleteOld people of the World Unite. You have nothing to lose but your place in the supermarket queue
Or possibly your life if you'fe drafted into the Antiquarian Army.
