In 1980, I wanted my Costello pure Costello.

Agreed !

Let you off Sulks !

We've had this before, but it's always fund to remind ourselves King of America (original, non-colourised version) - the unreadable expression is priceless and somehow hilarious, yet timeless This Year's Model - classic new wave image, much imitated Trust - again, the slightly unreadable expression...

I thought I heard your name mentioned.
Nice one!

As an NHS employee, I feel the best support Elvis could give me personally at this moment would be access to his personal archive - only the live stuff you understand, I'm not greedy and this would alleviate the strain my colleagues are feeling when I return to work at the end of April (at the late...

“in all likelihood London would mark the end of the tour”. Let’s hope not. In moaning news, I hate the “His aim is still true” headline. It’s so commonly used as well. :roll: I remember Elvis criticising journalists for “lazy writing” and using that is just as bad, after all he basically got us to ...

I thought at Southampton , after the BBC bit, there was a mention of bigots or bigotry?

If they just repeat the same setlist in Sunderland that they did in 1980, I'd be very (Get) Happy! 01. I Stand Accused 02. The Beat 03. Temptation 04. Green Shirt 05. Moods For Moderns 06.

If you don't sell it I'll come and join you - anything to get away from goon squad

Don’t tempt me!
I might even buy it for you!

I’ve got some bad news guys, although some will maybe see it as good news! :wink: I can’t now make the meet up. :( I was gonna come along after watching the mighty Hammers in their FA Cup match, therefore joining you all for the “evening session”, but I’ve now been summoned to a works event that ev...

Gravesend, Dartford, Maidstone then Canterbury and I’d be a happy man !

and fourth place in the league ( until Spurs brush us aside tomorrow !)

Just hope the tour won't clash with any of our Champions League fixtures next season !

Gravesend, Dartford, Maidstone then Canterbury and I’d be a happy man !

Later the same afternoon.... before Neil. arrived. 2019-07-27 Woodin's Shades.jpg MOOT Great photo, and a brilliant afternoon/evening ! It was so good to catch up with so many of you, special thanks to Sulky for my folder, and a massive thanks to VG and Sheep for organising everything! Roll on 2020...

It's most of the usual lot (having missed a few meet ups you can't be classed as a regular :lol: ) plus whoever who has been contacted through FaceBook. As I don't bother with FaceBook the attendees are usually a surprise to me as well! The definites I know of are John Foyle, Sheeptotheslaughter, N...

...I think its unlikely Bruce will show but he did meet up with Susan and Clare yesterday top man That’s impressive. We’ll get to grill them about it on Saturday. He might show up - you never know as he’ll know there’s no chance of any awkward encounters with Elvis and the Imposters :lol: Any idea ...

Popped into my local Morrisons today and was greeted with Accidents Will Happen blaring out from the loudspeakers! How bizarre !
