Toad the Wet Sprocket were actually very good! They named themself after a Monty Python fake band, they thought it was so ridiculous they took the name and made a REAL band. My fav by them is the excellent somethings always wrong, which is the one I heard first that got me interested.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK7bwIVrQFs Not sure I like the "playing in bare feet" thing. Wouldn't happen in a dive bar with a stage covered in glass :P They played the Ruskin Arms? That's very interesting, they were fairly big in the US in the 90s. |

By:
Actually that begs the question, can you remember, did he play in bare feet then? I suppose in a pub like that the stage won't be elevated enough to see unless you were at the front, if it was busy?

I would not have done any better just checking..if that helps
You could have asked her home to see where you have your 666 Tattoo on your body Still she may have then asked security to eject you as a pervert |

Once in the booth you should have surreptitiously set the ballot paper on fire with your cigarette lighter, turned around holding the flaming sheet and said “Sorry! That’s always happening. Can I have another one, please?”

JC - Maybe not the Ruskin but I'm sure it was a small venue .Possibly very early '80's but it was a long time ago

October this year and off to see Saxon, Girlschool, Krokus and Diamond Head at The Hammersmith Odeon (it'll never be the Appollo!) Am I remembering correctly? Did Iron Maiden ever play The Bridge House in Canning Town? Saw a few bands there back in the day. |

By:
Reynard, only because you lack imagination.
|

By:
Paul Young and the Q-Tips were regulars at The Bridge House .
I saw Girlschool supporting Motorhead on their Bomber tour and Saxon when they supported Iron Maiden (I think - could have been Def Leppard or Whitesnake ? Memory going  |

By:
Racing Cert - I don't lack imagination . It's actually quite furtive
 |
|
By:
Reynard, the q-tips ! Now you are talking. I saw them back in the 70’s when I was at uni.
|
|
By:
Played the Bridge House early to mid 80's , if memory serves (which it tends not to these days)

Oops! Easily done.

Toad the wet sprocket are nothing at all like a metal band, and racingcert appears to be a rather poor little troll. Noted.

Maybe they're thinking about Ethel The Frog?!

You've never heard their electric triangle solos.

There MUST be some smarmy line something like "Better the devil you know, or get to know, *lean* *wink*" or something like that.
I'm channeling my inner Kylie but I can't quite see it, and I'm a well known winker. |

Just Checking, read the thread through again, you sad f**k.
I have never been called a troll and anyone who could suggest such a thing must be deluded. I challenge you to to find one person to agree with you. You are duly “noted” by me as an effing a hole of unprecedented proportions. |
|
By:
Do I get any marks for saying that 'Ethel The Frog' was a fictional TV show in a Monty Python episode, and 'Toad The Wet Sprocket" were a fictional band in an episode of 'Rutland Weekend Television'?

Pecker, I’ve been on CC since year dot and rarely have I been annoyed by anything but I am not letting that go.

Alun I think you win the internet. And your special prize for such knowledge must surely be an anorak and a nice tartan thermos of tea!

By:
RacingCert one of the best posters on here from day one. Definitely not a troll.
..... only thing that puzzles me is that it has taken him so long to realise that JC is an effing a hole of unprecedented proportions.  |
|
By:
Still won't let that chip on your shoulder go will you eh mac!
|
|
By:
I`m perfectly balanced thanks JC, got a chip on both shoulders
 |
|
By:
Thank you for your intervention, Oh Mighty One.
I think I’ll block Jc. |

I've blocked the lot of yous.

Did I miss an opportunity to be-friend in Asda'S?
I was standing by the newspaper section, I'd paused to check the lottery tickets. You know, numbers, draw-date etc. When a woman, in her fifties Id reckon. It looked as though she'd just walk around the displays reading the news headlines, casually commented, might have just been thinking aloud now I think of it, " The country's in a mess. There was a genuine expression of dismay and concern on her face. It caught me totally unawares, I hadn't seen it, or her, coming. " Tell me about it." Was all I could think of, and then she was gone. I missed, what I would consider to be an opportunity, because she was no air-head, I think. Just those five little words, and the tone of her voice, suggested to me that she was a bit of a thinker. I like that. Oh well, ces't la vie ericster. Ces't la vie. |

By:
Don’t be too harsh on yourself, Ericster.
“Tell me about it.” is an invitation if nothing else. Maybe next time you could upgrade it to, “would you like to tell be about it over a nice bottle of merlot?” |

Quel surprise ! An anti-islam comment on a thread about flirting .
Plenty of 'Islam' threads on here on which to spout your rhetoric without poisoning light-hearted threads such as this |

Ericster,
Did she look a “Belgian bun and Yorkshire tea” kinda woman? I guess ther’s no point splurging on a decent red if she’ll spread them for a cuppa. On your second point and I guess i’m not too different age wise to you (and recently widowered) one must appear not to be too desperate. Misery likes company and all that. On a personal note, way to soon really for me but I am missing female company. |

By:
RC,
I'm in my sixties, I've been married for thirty years and I to am missing female company,spread 'em shmead 'em who needs it? What I'd really like is some intelligent, not too intelligent of course, conversation. Also, we're talking about Asda's here. And she was perusing the headlines seemingly not wanting to actually BUY one. I doubt that it was a case of not being able to afford the price a newspaper. Maybe disapproves of newspapers and/or the media coverage surrounding the Tory and Brexit fiasco. Who knows? She's probably happily married with very respectable, professional, grown up children with children of their own and wouldn't consciously go within a mile of someone like me, and WAS simply thinking aloud. |

Ericster,
Someone like you? Clearly well educated and literate enough and a capable communicator. What’s not to like? But, yes, probably talking to herself although perhaps sensed a kindred spirit. Anyway if she’s younger than you let her do the hard work. |
