Red Shoes playing now on Radio 2 ! ( Thurs 11.29AM )

Sounded a bit like "back in the day" when your turntable had a fault and played the record too slowly !

Tripwire?! Somebody put it on the bar's mix tape. How on earth did anyone know the song existed?!

..........blimey !

........Ah, the old "Amsterdam cinema show" excuse !

No good for me either I'm afraid. Already got work and other things on that weekend. Shame because it would have been interesting. Hopefully next time.
For all those that can make it...."have a good 'un".

Helen to Elvis :
" Listen young man, you might have been the King of America but I was the bloody Queen of England ! "

Just heard Alison on Radio2 (3.25pm )
........and a couple of days ago they played Oliver's Army at 10.05 in the morning including the "n" word ! ..........( I thought there had been some ridiculous law saying it had to be bleeped out ? )

I've got Bexhill and Kew.
Will hopefully do both but may have to sacrifice one for work in order to do the other.

All booked ! Word of warning to all because first time I phoned the number on the Kew website , giving the correct date and artist ,the woman offered me row E. I said haven't you got anything nearer the front and she said "ticketmaster or someone has probably got those". I said that I'd le...

Sounds great, and very interesting.
Anyone know what Richard's normal timescale is from "working on" through to finished and on sale ?............months or years ?

Is that camera this year's model ?

Thanks SP, I wanted to do the link but it was way beyond my technical capabilities !

For all those this side of the pond, I caught an interesting programme last night on BBC4 called "The story of 1979 Top of the Pops". Basically it went through the year's music that featured on TOTP and not only did it feature Elv a couple of times, but I was amazed to see Bruce Thomas als...

I find it's always better to speak to a real human being ! Ticket booked on phone to box office - Row K. Arrived in the post this morning. TIcket booked online later that same day - Row B. It really is a lottery. MOOT Blimey ! :shock: Weird ! ...............Guess I just got lucky ! :?

I phoned the theatre yesterday ( Thur) morning and got row B.

I really like the song, and the video is quite compelling to watch. However, I must admit watching it made me feel a bit queasy or seasick with the way the words form and move across the screen. :? Having said that I am a bit under the weather with the dreaded lurgy at the moment so maybe that expla...

Just booked mine ! I'm there in Row B !................bring it on !

I must admit I had to do a double take, as I was sure when clicking on this thread it was going to be Bexhill USA, or Australia , or somewhere else in some other continent. Having checked it is UK, and although not on my doorstep , I'm right up for this !................................................

I used to busk Elvis songs when I was a student in the late 80s! I specifically remember singing 'The Greatest Thing' in John Frost Square in Newport, Gwent - Christ knows what I was thinking! I'm impressed Neil ! Nice one ! So that now broadens the buskers question to include "anyone on here ...

Nice one !

Shocking news !
Wishing Milo a speedy recovery.

I'm hoping this doesn't get bumped into the "When you least expect it" thread as I think it is worthy of it's own place. ( but if it does , so be it ) On a trip to Barcelona in the summer I went to the famous Park Guell ( or Gaudi Park as it is often known) to see the wonders of it. There ...

Shopping in Clinton's card shop in Bluewater yesterday and was astonished to suddenly hear "Everyday I write the book" come out over the speakers !
I think I was the only one in the store "mouthing along" ! ! !

Gutted I can't go!
Elv followed by Ray Davies in the sunshine sounds like a fab gig !
Hope all you lucky ones going have a great time..........................just spare a thought for us poor sods that are having to work !
Anyone know if it's likely to be filmed for tv at a future date ?

Weirdly enough, I could almost hear Elv and the boys singing " Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting".
You know what...........I reckon it might just work !
