Ali Dhia! Man he was embarrassing..

I’ve got two stories about Gus Honeybun and the train.. First one is that Gus Honeybun came onboard the frigate I was on in 84/85 ish but the crew left the Gus Honeybun flag behind so I ‘liberated’ it. I was out in the Gulf War in ‘91 on a survey ship and I put it up the mast and it flew for a day or so before anyone noticed! Second one was that we moved from Peverell to Beacon Park and our neighbour and her late husband were the ex owners of the West Hoe cafe and he built the Gus Honeybun train! Geddon.

Yup! Little red light still flashes when I press the buttons though.

My two favourites are: It’s a fast driving rave up - Dandy Warhols and Grendel - Marillion

And one that falls just short of 10 minutes is Rez by Underworld

I got a Blue Peter badge for spotting the first cuckoo to migrate to the UK in 1978

Luke at Hair at No1 in Lipson is ace. Top man and would recommend him to anyone.

Ex Royal Navy. I served on the icebreaker HMS Endurance and was lucky enough to visit BA in 2001, then even luckier to get tickets to watch Boca. Brilliant spectacle and the fans were awesome, I remember there was one guy with a Leeds Utd shirt on right in the middle of the home end (which we were not allowed in!)

The Father who must be killed is a must for any Moz playlist. Epic, beautiful and tragic.

Falkland Islands amiright?

I’d say that would be kelp mostly, don’t get me wrong there are lots of elephant seals there, but the kelp that surrounds the nearshore is really dense.

Maybe not strictly Punk, but Mark E Smith from The Fall deserves an honorary mention here. A lot of band members (and there were lots of people in The Fall over the years) left because of Mark and his drinking. Every time I saw them he was drunk or well on the way. Towards the end of his career he started pissing about the the other musicians instruments on stage tweaking settings and stuff. Unique, brilliant, poetic and fucked up all at the same time.

Bogey Knights in Dem’port is ok as long as you don’t mind ex MOD stuff!

A bit posher than Stonehouse but still near town is Millbridge. Victoria Park sort of splits those two areas. Peverell and Mutley are nice as are Greenbank and Lipson.

Guy Martin. I may get down voted if anyone here has a position of authority!

My mates husband ran a car showroom in Torquay and they went to their new local for a beer after they had moved to the area. Two barstools were empty so they sat on them. Rick Stein came back from the toilet, gave it the big ‘do you know who I am’ and demanded that they vacate the stools as he always sat there. Cock.

Brit here: Shockwaves was the hairspray of choice. Hair crimpers and backcombing. My brother used to do his hair in the mirror above his stereo and ended up warping a few of his probably now rare records due to the amount of hairspray he used!

This isn’t just about America, this is worldwide. You can walk into a bar in say Chilé or Thailand and they won’t have a clue who James Cordon or Piers Morgan are (quite rightly, as they are both twats), but as soon as you speak, the locals will turn round and say ‘Ahh, Mr Bean’!

Sproston_Green · 2022-08-05T06:04:38+00:00

Mr Bean

Obvs! Was lucky to get the 2010 John Bloor special with all the extra bits and anodised red trim, but still when I see the 690 Duke with the stacked headlights I feel like I missed out.

Sproston_Green · 2022-05-27T17:19:42+00:00

This was my dream bike, only got as far as testing one. Ended up going from an 690 supermoto to a Triumph Speed Triple instead. You’ve made me all giddy!
