When John sings, "I think I'm gunna be sad, I think it's today,the girl that's driving me mad is going away".

If she was driving him mad, why would he be sad if she was going away?

TIA.

Mad with lust?

Or may be at that point in his life he was addicted to the rush of a girl who wound him up and made him feel alive instead of the girls who would do or say anything to please him?

No I didn't Kenny but before my little jaunt into the law I looked after a Superintendent who knew him well. Apparently in his younger days he was very fond of a tipple and many was the time he was given the cold shower treatment by the Chamber's Clerk to sober him up ready for court. I don't know if this is true or not but I seem to remember that he said his career up North went sour because of his drinking but that when he went south he put his house in order and the rest is history.

I always thought it was 'Ticket To Ryde' and was about a trip to the Isle Of Wight.



Not really, that's just bollocks... like this thread Laugh

That sounds about right, Eeternal'. I've just finished reading his son's book (No Ordinary Man) about his father's life. After a slow start it picked up very well, particularly the celebrity  court cases.Gillian Taylforth was particularly interesting. ;-)

Just so nobody is in any doubt what a tool crags is.

Some years ago there was a beautiful thread by a poster called drags, who described in great, but not totally sad detail the last days of his beloved dog.

It was written with such poignancy and eloquence, that a lot of the forum were in tears. A similar thread was done some time after by Max And Paddy?

crags only comment on the long running thread was "get over it, it's only a dog".

Spoke volumes about the man.

You've repeated that lie for the last 12 years or so now!

I never said that, you silly, drunken old fool.

A poster called kerrymore posted it. You were kerrymore previously were you not? Tommy says you were. Was he wrong?
Report crags May 4, 2016 4:43 PM BST
Nobody said those words.You have made them up.

From memory, I thought the guy, who had never posted before or since, was on a bit of a wind-up. Why are you still jibbering on about this from maybe as long ago as 2002? Can't you find of anything since then to try to sully my good name? Wink
