Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[Val P]

Given that we are on a 70s music nostalgia trip .....one for the women of Messy......Donny Osmond or David Cassidy?

No Fred you can't vote for Marie!

Donny, but only because my best friend at the time absolutely loved him so I went along with it. No strong feelings for either tbh. Loved the Jackson 5 tho

Couldn't stand Smokie.
Darts were good.
Slik rings a bell but I can't recall them.
A very good friend of mine absolutely loves Showaddywaddy , even to this day . He recently went to Butlins just to see them !!! lol
I'll just leave you with Mud and surely the worst even Christmas record "Lonely this Christmas"

Slik's most famous song was Forever and Ever ( not the Demis Roussos song ) You would know it if you heard it
How about Kenny - Tne Bump and Fancy Pants who,given the lyrics has never worn brown knickers in her entire life!

I now can’t get forever and ever out of my head - loved the way they sung in a Scottish accent. Loved Midge Ure’s voice in ultravox too

Oh I loved them. Seriously- I had two of their albums (on cassette). Tell your mate I might join him in Butlins next time!

As long as you’re not in the third row from the front…..

What a right bunch of old harridans they were! I thought they were practically fossilised but they must have been younger than I am now. lol

Your earlier post re Sailor..."let's get together the two of us over a glass of champagne".
Looking back it seems so cheesy.
I give you Chirpy cheep cheep "wheres your mummy gone " by Middle of the Road?

I can't leave for my hair appointment without mentioning my guilty pleasure - Boney M. Had to Google if they were 70s or 80s. 'Ra Ra Rasputin'

I had forgotten about Sailor. Real blast from the past. Was Girls Girls Girls one of theirs?

Yep … the kind of music you couldn’t sit still to

Good morning all. How's the head @Barnfred 55 ? I hope it's a quiet day for you today. @blue1948 if Dyche can get Dele Alli back to anything like he could then he deserves a knighthood and we will have a decent player.
Love the seagull story @jazzy. Mrs J is a very kind soul.
And now to the brown knickers. @Val P . @Gwladysover and I discovered that we both went to all girls schools with predominantly brown uniforms including the aforementioned brown knickers. My school, a convent, insisted on those ones that seemed to be made out of thick felt, and the nuns used to do knicker inspections to check you had the correct ones on. I think you got a de-merit point if your pants did not comply! Hence the conversation.

Not great Anj. Just woke up and have a lunch appointment at 12 with Cal's 2 best frisnds. That's always a scream anyway so I should be good entertainment for them today as lots ot tails to tell from last might. Catch up later with you guys.

Smokey was another one. And remember Pilot? Think they had a hit called January.

Good luck. Guitar/pie. Not much difference.Top tip - no strings on a pie.

 

[Barnfred 55]

Yes it was. I used to like Pilot. Do you remember "Magic"?

Now that's a proper Je suis Fred. Next bloody post

Good morning all. It's a game of two halves today. Hairdresser appointment this morning, dentist appointment this afternoon. One will be fun, one will not be fun.
Yesterday I made potato salad. Not a great culinary masterpiece but the potatoes, spring onions and parsley were all home grown. That made me feel really proud ( we're still newbies on the growing your own veg!) It's raining today. We got the grass cut last night so that was good. Mr F mowed and I strimmed. What happened to the little bits of nylon cord in strimmers? The one we have now has multiple blades and a rotating saw type thing. I felt like Rambo or an extra in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre as I hacked down the nettles that are completely out of control in both the empty house next door and the field on tne other side of us.I even managed to chop down a very small tree.
Have a great day folks!

Have you still got that goat Anj.? They nake lovely curry
