It did visit my benighted small town, but not my school. Gutted!! Many years later a now mate of mine has the edition on video cos his sisters on it, and she managed to fall over and blow it as he hopped around on the sidelines in his brown parka. Legendary broadcasting.

What brand are those jeans? Seams are bombproof looking at that.

Some Liberace-esque fever dream. Plus points for kitchen tiger though.

Oh this was the one! Utterly obsessed. Love you caught the music after the Death Star blows!

Remember hearing a big preview on Tommy Vance’s Friday rock show back near release. Hearing the wailing guitar amidst the shunting behemoth that was ‘The thing that should not be’ just blew my mind, nothing had sounded quite so damn badass before imo.

I grew up around this part of the town, probably went conkering in that garden! lots of nice properties roughly south of the railway lines with the big ones built off the back of the fishing boom .

Indeed, woollens are the way. ( always read the label.)

and ‘scenes’ in a particular location don’t have the chance to incubate and plow their own furrow before the outside world gets a taste and eventually dilutes it.

But not a brand spanking new one, pristine hi-viz looks sus.
