catgate Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Yes. I often wondered why a star should want to wander, and if it did, where would it go, and by what means would it get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted March 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 2 hours ago, andsome said: What is a hit parade It's an event where Mahler fans parade through small villages waving plastic wunderhornes ( usually old discarded vuvuzelas from the South African world cup ) playing his tunes on seventies ghetto blasters at maximum volume. The participants never seem to agree on which tune to play, as a result there can be as many as six different tunes being played simultaneously apparently this melange is generally regarded as a vast improvement. Aggravated music fans are then encouraged to pelt them with bags of wet semolina and or sago by the local police.

Belatucadrus Posted March 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Well you know those Staffordshire folk, very set in their ways. So what if it's March and the beast from the east is freezing the trossachs off you, grandad always harvested his sago in the nude with a big stick and if it was good enough for him. As you can see his allotment patch does have a bit of a drainage problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the late 40's (and early50âs) and the late Saturday night music on "the wireless". A few of us from the same Rugby club would go to one of the Corporation's swimming baths, which for the winter was converted itto a municipal dance hall. In those days closing time of most things was much earlier that today. I suppose the fact that nobody "other than my Uncle Norman" owned a motor car, thus every one had to rely on the Council's Trams, Trollies and Buses, and they stopped running very shortly after the "Disc Jockey of the times" started up on radio "home service". Thus most of us had to make haste to listen to a hit parade of the times.

AlanHo Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I can remember us having sago pudding when I was a kid. Slimy balls in a glutinous sweet milky liquid. Â It looked a lot like frog spawn YUKÂ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
