Caroline was in my class at school so I guess Gordonimmel you must have been too. Really sorry that I don't recall your name. Also, regarding Bodines my band supported them at one gig at Sheffield University in 1986. In my class was also a girl called Debbie inglis who I was made to sit next to. She turned up 7 years later during which time our family had moved away to Warrington at the enrolment day on my course at Loughborough University.JezLewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14708210972395841409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-71554398979158313692009-05-23T19:25:51.026+01:002009-05-23T19:25:51.026+01:00When I get back home to my own machine, I want som...When I get back home to my own machine, I want some of that, TB & BaBe.<br /> <br />Have a good weekend everyone.DarceysDadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-91235026814031191722009-05-23T16:24:20.745+01:002009-05-23T16:24:20.745+01:00Thanks BBeat (copyright ejaydee) That's me on the ...Thanks BBeat (copyright ejaydee) That's me on the old joanna, that is - or at least, a younger version of me.ToffeeBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09610938852113922395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-46557055799326884252009-05-23T14:20:39.178+01:002009-05-23T14:20:39.178+01:00I gotcha.

Ace record! I was DJing with Dave Haslam the other week and chatting about Debris magazine that he produced and the flexi-discs (ah! flexi-discs!) they put out and funnily enough, thought about Laugh then, as they appeared on one of them. I thought they were a really good band, but didn't really go anywhere and then kinda morphed into Intastella.BalearicBeathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00725744390399042491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-5360004610830593232009-05-23T10:53:58.105+01:002009-05-23T10:53:58.105+01:00I also have several bits of Laugh vinyl up in the ...I also have several bits of Laugh vinyl up in the attic in the big pile of things waiting to be digitised - some time.ToffeeBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09610938852113922395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-51795566089879273082009-05-23T10:52:13.510+01:002009-05-23T10:52:13.510+01:00@ Japanther - your resignation is NOT accepted.

Therese by The Bodines is possibly the greatest song ever recorded (well it's certainly one of about twenty or so that fit that description). The band I used to play with back in the mid/late 80s once supported The Bodines and we were label mates with The Waltones.ToffeeBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09610938852113922395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-35774852586673212952009-05-23T08:41:31.212+01:002009-05-23T08:41:31.212+01:00re: The Smiths, now I don't HATE them, but just ye...re: The Smiths, now I don't HATE them, but just yesterday I was flicking through more of the records I had shipped over from England and was surprised to find that I owned a copy of "The Queen Is Dead", it couldn't have made much of an impression on me when I bought it, which I thought was strange because everyone's always going on about how great it is, so i thought i'd give this alleged masterpiece a spin...<br /><br />....it was, well, it was.....kind of alright!

I WAS thinking th...OK, Balearic, it gets better...<br /><br />I WAS thinking that if somehow you did come back to me and say that you were at Sandilands then I would counter with the fact that that school has two famous alumni. But you beat me to it with one of them. The other one was Caroline Aherne (aka Mrs Merton and The Royals) who.....wait for it....ta-da-da-da da da taaaah....was my classmate at school.<br /><br />I probably walked past your house on my way to school although, from what I can gather, a few years earlier ('71 to '75 to be precise). I lived a bit further up Brooklands Road (near to Maple Road) so I cut through from Brooklands Road to New Forest Road on a passage way between the houses, then past your house and into Wendover Road.<br /><br />And finally, my teachers at Sandilands (I was only there in Junior School since I'd lived near Stockport before that)..Mrs Barnes, Miss Sands, Mrs Bridges, Mrs Williams. I doubt you'd remember Mrs Williams since she retired the year I left (1975) but did you know any of the others. Oh, and the bastard teacher who dropped me from the football team (refer to my 'sporting achievements' over on the 'herb' blog) was Mr Hislop. You didn't accidently kick him in the goolies at any time did you? I so hope you did.gordonimmelnoreply@blogger.com
