      Seeing as this is “Right; Thread’s Dead”, I’d just like to congrats glw on his legend and squares. I’ve been away; apols for the slowness, gee-el-dubya 🙂

      She’s a strip-DJ by night.

      OK, it’s fine to hear about what happened to Gerry Anderson’s “Joe 90” puppet, after the gender-op and sudden interest in Conservative Local Politics. What I don’t get is why she features in some Frogblog about Johnny Halliday quotes and French mobile DJs (D’iscargots?)

      The BBC could be doing a trial run of HDTV in Harrow. Eileen’s wearing the “prescription with no subscription” Freeview HDTV specs. There’s an option for “Parliamentary Channel” on the left lens and “Gay Porn” on the right. Might explain her enigmatic smile…

      Stevie Wonder could see with Eileen’s glasses.

      Edit: I’ll be onto your new squares tomorrow (thurs) GLW. Sorry about the wait.

      He’s a city councillor from http://www.harrow.gov.uk

      Same with big glasses woman, Eileen Kinnear. I can’t get the profiles page to load on that site, but do a Google-Image search for your own sake on her name. The glasses are real.

      Close to any of you guys?

      Slightly going off-tangent (maybe a full “normal”) but can anyone beat my “tragic band” story? We swapped vocalists, and got a gig for 11/11/2001. Although we’re not in the US, it wasn’t the best of times to debut. Since then, the singer’s wife had a baby. Then, the drummer’s wife dittoed. The guitarist took an Antipodean holiday, safely bungee-jumped etc his way round the continent, only to be hit on the wing (getting into his car) by a Kiwi trucker who shattered his right elbow to smithereens. It’s healed, but our drummer has fallen through the roof of his house and broken his hip and elbow. Any regulars with “song for solo bass” ideas can PM me; I’ll be grateful.

      Was that the free concert the Stones did for the blind?

      Story: Keef gets busted for drugs in Toronto and is looking at a 5 stretch, (not for the first time), so he obviously gets found guilty and just before the judge is about to sentence him, a little blind girl steps forward and says, ‘wouldnt it be better if he did a concert for disabled children?, have some good come out of it?’ (or something like that), so the judge agrees, The stones do a bonus benefit gig to get Keef out of clink, he goes in to a rehab clinic, and he called her ‘My little blind angel of mercy’ .

      Then of course he fell out of a tree trying to scrump a coconut, and aparantly the only one who went green was Ronnie Wood at the thought of actualy having to play the guitar at a concert and cover for Keef!

      I may have done, and that would be my mistake, I think. Wife is more interesting and would explain why this little triv stuck in my head. It was Margaret, the missus. She also bobbed off to a Stones gig in Toronto after PT brassed her off, and enjoyed herself tremendously. So did Keef, allegedly.

      As I’ve mentioned some aeons ago, the “Safety Dance” video features the rather scrummy-looking wife of the then Canadian premier, Pierre Trudeau. She seemed to be enjoying herself; leading to inevitable “Wonder what the PMs missus got up to with a ‘rock’ band then?” questions.

      Imagine Cherie (Booth) Blair featuring on a British pop video? Perhaps Crazy (wide-mouthed) Frog?

      Just for plugs sake, I recently featured safety dance videos in GNW. I watched 20 safety dance videos. 20!

      Men without hats.
      Its all there, the midgets, the men, and erm the hats.
      That is the nightmare lineup, imagine sitting through a 90 minute set by that lot.

      That’s two votes for the Ridgeley. Talking of “what does he do?” types, did anyone see Beck on “Later with Jools Holland” a while back? He had some dorky-looking mate doing rubbish dance routines to one of his songs. Dressed in white, looked like Bill Gates younger brother.

      I’d like to see a band comprised of:

      Bez, from the Happy Mondays
      Andrew Ridgely of Wham
      The bald mime artist fellow who used to accompany Howard Jones
      Adrian Wright, who used to be the slide projectionist for the Human League

      And Jack’s real surname isn’t White and… and… I lose count of it all.

      Oh, and despite that fringe of hers, she isn’t “special needs”, either.

    • #72476

      Never. I’ve fancied her ever since I found out there was never an incestual relationship between her and Jack.

      Meg “oops, my kit fell down the stairs while the tape was running” White springs to mind. Much as I like the band, and I have a feeling that a decent drummer would’ve spoiled it all.

      Offer me up a replacement drummer.

      Sounds like someone has a bone for bono. 🙂

      Doesn’t everyone have issues with U2? 😆 “Most pompous arse of a gobshiting singer” has to be a locked-thread.

      Atchley, I started to wonder if “most tragic” was meant to be taken literally; as you’d selected some emotional basket-cases. Except the Mullen. Shedloads of money, nice houses, even kept his looks when the rest of the band descended into squathouse squalor. The only suffering Larry’s put up with is calling himself “Jr” so he’s not confused with his dad. Wonder what his dad’s so famous for that U2’s drummer has to name himself “Jr”?

      I have issues with U2.

      And hey, at the end of the day, we can vote on the truely worst. Im sure Milli Vanilli will take part.

      Oh, backing vox…

      The girl from “Black Box” who (erm) sang “Ride on Time”. “Thighs and Mime”, as I called it.

      😯 ,

      Bit different from my “nightmare” band. Larry Mullen jr is a perfectly decent drummer, IMHO, and Flock of Seagulls owed the success they had to (apart from a haircut) Reynold’s guitar riffs.

      Can anyone top Milli Vanilli for vocals and Andrew Ridgely for guitar? We’re forming a supergroup here… 😆
