OT. The futures Bright, the Futures Brexit!!!

I’ll just repeat what I’ve said many times, I’ve got to you. If not, why would you spend so much time rattling on about issues that I don’t? I think it’s a touch of jealousy that I have, or have had, the odd connection that you don’t. It was the same with TTR, you became obsessed - who next, GP?

Eeeh you don't get it do you? Oh the irony of somebody thinking they are being clever, but then being caught out so many times. As I keep telling you Pops, when your in a big hole, best stop digging your just making yourself look foolish.

You amuse me greatly, and I keep mentioning stuff, because you keep wading in and making a comment which is just connected to the other bull**** your have previously posted. As I keep telling you, best keep quiet, that way nobody can actually tell how dim you are.

A hotbed of revolutionaries, Amber and Fed ales and football luminaries such as Aidan McCaffery

Beer was good, football was ****e!!

Better than that I shall be seeing her in September!

Ah so now it all makes sense - you and AF are love (lust) rivals for the attention of a 70s icon. All these spats over politics are just so much persiflage, at the core lies a woman. Sonja, neither are worthy of you 😀

‘Persiflage’!! Good word and a first on here I imagine. Had to look it up.

Wasn’t Andy’s ‘moment’ with the delectable Sonya at the Buxton Festival in the early seventies? Given that he recently turned 60 wouldn’t he have been about 11 or 12 back then? If it relieves your angst GP...maybe it was ‘motherly’.

Had to look it up, and you an English teacher! Tut,tut, back of the class. It is a good word though, although doubtless modern yoof would use the vile word "bantz" instead

SK born 1949 - AF born, by your estimates 1962, would have been firing blanks at Buxton. Swale, by his university era being late 70's, would be around 1960 built and probably pre pubescent too. You and I on the other hand would have been approaching our ***ual prime!

Good line up though

[ramAnag]

I was there. It was one of the coldest festivals I’ve ever been to. The last ever performance of Steppenwolf - the old members trudged off and the new members of John Kay’s band replaced them half way through - was on a windswept hillside above Buxton...who’da thought. I was 18 and Derby were champions. Never got a look in with Sonya though!

P.M. Had I been in my prime at 18 life would have been hugely disappointing.

rA I think that says more about the veracity of most things that AF claims. I recommend a large pinch of salt with anything he says, rather sad really.

That is a good line up!

Not bad for £ 1-60 admission. Today you could buy enough petrol to drive 8 miles in an average car for that amount.

Mind you I was getting paid 12.5 pence per hour working in 1971. so that's over 12 hours work to get in......

Nowadays someone from Quantuma would have earned best part of £ 4,000 in that time rA! More than enugh to get into a one day festival

I blame it on the EU, just to get back on topic

[MadAmster]

Good line up for a rock gig...

No rA it wasn't Buxton, I was too young for that, my uncle Pete went to some of the Buxton festivals, he says it took him years to defrost from the last one he went to so that was prob the one you went to, although by legend they were all pretty dire weatherwise. They crop up regularly on fb when dire festival experiences ar discussed, there's still a diehard group of music fans out there ready to reminisc about those days

My Curved Air 'meet and greet' was at the Kings Hall, 21/01/76, I was 'on the guest list' as the (lol, I was 16) 'minder' of my mum's hairdresser who's recent ex, Tony Reeves, played bass with the band at the time. We were invited backstage and despite the Sonja incident the highlight for me was being taught how to grip a drum stick properly by Stewart Copeland. Less appealling was hanging around outside while the crimper and the bassist had a pretty full-on farewell grope.
'We' saw them a few times on that tour and the autumn tour too (when they returned to Derby), and they were a pretty friendly bunch, especially SC

So it was somehow appropriate that Sonja came to fame in the cast of Hair

Lol...I guess this is really Swale’s argument but seeing as we’re, according to you, ‘two peas in a pod’ I’ll chuck in my two penny worth.

You, and only you raised, and continue to raise, the issue of ethnic minorities in the media.

Incorrect, trawl back through the posts. Since 12/8/21 when I last made a comment other than to provide evidence to Swale, the only person who's brought the subject up is Swale, who does so as a tactic that I've seen many times before by him and others away from this forum. Please be even handed in this once you've checked and have your own mind, its not just me who sees you as swales' butler

Drawing attention to the way in which current right wing leaders seek to emulate Hitler is a valid point which, for some reason, you get ever so stroppy about.

Drawing attention is fine, throwing down the 'Hitler Card' is not. Its a shock tactic of Swales', just like swearing, insulting people etc

The examples of strategies that such governments employ is another valid point that you repeatedly avoid commenting on.

Give me an example, not sure what you mean, seriously. I don't comment on everything here

Why oh why would anyone be remotely ‘jealous’ of your ‘odd’ connections? That’s just weird.

No idea why he'sjealous, but also not sure why they are odd, other than in the fact I try add a bit of context to some of my posts by referencing those I've come across in a long and varied life. Please tell me which one of these is 'odd'. I'll have as lengthy a debate as you wish on each. I have a Scottish partner, that's often relevant in football and non-football matters. I was schooled in a mixed race school and live in a mixed race environment. I've employed and worked directly with, in a Chinese-run Company, a Uyghur. I have close friends who's son is (was, he's just taken a job role that's not so clear) an assistant private secretary to two ministers you've slated over the years (actually, thinking about it, one you haven't, Alok Sharma) and who I see regularly, in fact I was helping him fit out a camper van on Sunday. I repeat, tell me what's odd about that. I don't know any head teachers, governors etc but wouldn't think it 'odd' if you brought them into the conversation for context or anecdote

Never got that far and given the current ping pong with The Swales, note that I never said 'shag', country bumpkin that I was at 16 I possibly didn't know the word

[Geoff Parkstone]

my reference was to you beig the minder for your mums hairdresser........
