i can't believe you havn't hear dof Freddie Mercury and Queen, big in the eighties and nineties, i bet your sons have

[village_idiot]

I asked some of the young blokes that work for me they said that queen were some sort of pop music band
As i do not live in the music world i wouldnt know who you are talking about
Best thing about music on a radio is the button to switch the crap off

Now you are sounding like an old fogey...which is not the impression I had of  you!

[celeste]

Sue, you've heard of Queen havn't you - i thin k village is having me on

[Tuesday]

Of course I've heard of Queen. I think we have some of their cd's. I HATED 'Bohemian Rhapsody!. I think that is one of the worst records EVER!!

[celeste]

i hated Freddie Mercury at first but as usual i was a latecomer to the appreciation of his music

[village_idiot]

The only music i have ever liked is mowtown
All other music is crap

yes MOTOWN ok is Phil Spector still in jail?

[Tuesday]

Yes Motown....I can remember when it was called Tamla Motown. One of the first records and in my book one of the very best was Reach Out (I'll be there) by The Four Tops. I can remember it being played over and over at a seafront club in Torquay one summer evening in the *******. Also Good Vibrations by The Beachboys - another fave!! A wonderful evening....spoilt when a complete stranger passing by was sick over my feet. YUK!!!

[celeste]

sue, how long is it since you left Manchester, did you live in Torquay first and then Cornwall, how old are your daughters

[Tuesday]

No...never lived in Torquay.....had a boyfriend in the airforce who bought an old GPO van and did it up. When he was on leave we used to go to Paignton, Torquay or Plymouth on summer evenings to clubs....and take half the village with us. WE left a club in Plymouth early one night but of course could not come home as the others were still inside. The rain was hammering down and it was so dark you could not see a thing. He moved the van nearer to the club and we sat and waited. All of a sudden there was a tap on the window and two policemen were stood outside the van in those big black capes - dripping wet they were. They asked us to move on. "Why?" we enquired mystified....."because you are parked on a zebra crossing," was the reply! (This was not in the blackout during the WAR although reading this back it sounds like it!!)

[celeste]

i remember the amusement arcade i n Paignton, and we stayed at Mrs Applegate's hotel, up the hilly road from the l,evel crossing. went another time and Alvin Stardust was there, but he had blonde hair then

[Tuesday]

What was Alvin Stardust called before?...it really annoys me when I can't remember....GOT IT!!! - Shane Fenton!!
I quite like Paignton...we used to go there a lot when the girls were small.

do you remember the machines inthe arcades where a claw would come down and just miss picking up jewellery, they have one for sale in the new woollies catalogue, i used to be fascinated by them
