Take away the free food and we'll lose the problem of the homeless eh?

No shit.... they'll die instead - hey problem solved!

Thatcher's Britain!

As long as you can dip your soldiers and get some yolk on the "up stroke" then they'll do for me!

Merry Christmas to one and all, however you spend this time of year. Spare a thought for those of us who will be working tomorrow, 6am start should be home by 2pm (if I am lucky!!!). Have a good one, Rodders :smt114 Ah!! So the truth is out at last.... you ARE Santa now you're a Grandad!! A very me...

If you don't like Zeppelin then you must be a Twunt. To be considered a "twunt" by yourself for this very reason is possibly the best Xmas present many of us on here could wish for - a badge of honour that those of us who fall into this category will be proud to wear alongside our love of...

It's not a criticism in any way, just a possible observation based on a very quick 5 minute flick through the posts on the subject. It'll be interesting ...

I got taken along with my older sister to see Steeleye Span at the ABC in Peterborough (now some crappy looking bar next to the Tesco on Broadway in the city centre, possibly only of value to OG this piece of info!!*) in 1975 - it was some kind of "birthday treat" (for her, obviously!!) an...

I must say I'm surprised there aren't more Led Zep fans on here or even the odd post more stating "aye they were good!" etc. This may be the 'punkforums' rather than a 'classic rock' board but I would certainly say Zeppelin's work is as clever and possibly as exciting/dynamic as anything ...

Is it just me on here or does nobody else remember why bands like The Stranglers grabbed our attention and got us so excited all those years ago? It was because of pompous tosh like Led Zep and their Earl's Court approach. Fcuk me, there'll be people on here saying how wonderful the likes of Yes and...

btw. Got to kiss a 'Revette' and Eugene had a drink of my cider when he came off stage.
