Have you been to the Lanes in Brighton?

[Moos]

Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?

[Keef]

Robbie Fowler used to be known as God in Liverpool. The Beatles were never as cool as the stones.

[HonaloochieB]

Eileen Lane's party piece when we were at primary school was to sing Cliff Richards Summer Holiday.

I wonder if she's had a holiday this year.

[jumpinjackflash]

dunno but I have a pet dog with a wrinkled face

[HonaloochieB]

Why didn't Tom Waits play London on his last tour?

[Moos]

I don't think I want my knife to be see-through.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Our fire alarm keeps going off at work. Irritating, but hanging around St Christopher's Place is better than working for a liv.....

There it goes again.

[mightyroar]

I like a nice fire in the winter. Its getting cold at night now isnt it?

[HonaloochieB]

Fire Brigade by The Move was the first record to be played on Radio One. Fact.

Or was it I Can Hear The Grass Grow?

[Jah Lush]

Definitely Fire Brigade. The DJ was Tony Blackburn, who coincidently doesn't come from Blackburn, isn't black and didn't get burnt in the process.

[Ant]

Talking of starting fires, how long would you give one of these before it shot sparks and took your computer away in a blaze of cheap ChineseJapanese plastic?

It was flowers in the rain actually. Tony the Tiger is my hero.

[Keef]

He is indeed Grreeeeaaaaat!

He-Man's sidekick "Battle Cat" was a cowardly tiget named Cringer, bit like the cowardly lion in wizard of ox. "put 'em up!"

[HonaloochieB]

Tom Jones, proper singer he is. He doesn't even need a microphone.

[Jah Lush]

That's the trouble with Welsh men. Get more than than three of 'em in a room together and you've got a male voice choir.

[Moos]

Still, as long as you've got your health.

[Jah Lush]

And your own teeth.

[Moos]

Or someone's teeth, anyway.

What's that smell? Why have I turned this into the Curmudgeons' thread?

[Ant]

My mother-in-law reckons only old people eat Cadbury's chocolate eclaires, because if anyone who had their own teeth tried to they'd instantly regret it. Dentures-only confectionary. Well, I suppose there has to be come compensation for getting old.

[HonaloochieB]

Edith Piaf. The Little Sparrow, wasn't she?

[Jah Lush]

Apart from Barbara Windsor, the cockney sparrow, you never see sparrows these days though do you.

[citizenED]

Talking of which, hasn't Eastenders gone off lately, ever since the demise of Dr. Legg. I ask you.

[HonaloochieB]

Sparrows can't sing. Fact.

[PeckhamRose]

I got sparrows on my bird feeder.

I hired a car today.
