His hair, too, just looks--a mess. He just doesn't look like the world-conquering rock star with his hands on his hips and his chest thrown out, the way we knew him. (Edited to add--kinda touching that one of his few appearances was on a children's show, too. Although all the adults I knew used to watch it too!) Your forgiveness is indeed a relief, as I was without a Plan C.

Miles is jazz fusion???

That sort of luck has happened to me twice now . . Amazing how these things work out. Glad your Dad is home and doing OK, Elizabeth--sounds like he'll be back to his normal self in no time.

Very wise!

Miss Pamela, for one. (Btw, most young guys referred to their wives/girlfriends as their ladies at the time--a lot from that generation still do. Just FYI.)

Great news! We'll await an update.

J/k. We know her to be a lady of infinite compassion and forgiveness. And failing that--

You think?

So do I, jeez--I'll tell you what just happened here! I was thinking about the fact that I spent a good part of my college years drinking Newcastle Brown, in Liverpool in the NORTHWEST, which is where I automatically associate the stuff with. Of course, you were quite right to say it's made in Newcastle in the Northeast. Sorry, songbird! Sorry, Knebby! *crawls into hole*

Northwest. :slapface: See below.

Which, of course, doesn't mean he's gone. He's here right now, enjoying every moment of the shit he's stirred. You just have to feel sorry for people like that, because it's beyond pathetic.

Yes, I remember that--and also I remember that Sir Chris made a reappearance, and has now disappeared again.

Well, the thread subtitle only gives you a choice of big or small things to be happy about--but I'm pretty sure I've often been happy about medium things. A productive day at work seems sort of medium, as opposed to finding a tube of toothpaste in the cabinet so I don't have to buy a new one, which would be a small thing, or meeting Robert Plant, which would be a big thing. I don't know if the first Ledzep, sorry, THE FIRST LEDZEP, sees it that way, though.

:slapface: I'll go and see if I can find that post and delete that bit. Sorry guys! Couple minutes later: Rats! I can't edit that post, as it was made too long ago. Additional apologies. I quoted the thing just to show what I was objecting to. Well, hopefully you're right, slave to zep, and it'll be buried soon.

Ooh, yeah, good old Pol--another one I forgot. I love her. Thanks for the Raitt links and such, everyone!

How small??? We need measurements, dammit!!

Good going, Mandy!

Crikey . . . . The really good stuff is coming out of the woodwork now!

On which occasion I'd just like to point out that I was standing in front of ledded1 when he took those wonderful pics. But please, glicine, what do the Chinese characters mean???? I've always wondered.

There are all those airport pics of them near airline signs or clutching the bags of certain airlines (I remember when they used to give those things out free ), which wouldn't have been the case if they hadn't been flying commercial across the Atlantic.

Stick a fork in me, I'm done.

Is it OK if I laugh? (I'm delighted you were found not guilty, of course, but what on earth WERE you doing that made them think that??)

And the comment--double ugh.

This is one of my all-time faves. I love that band!!

I must be a new lady because I hadn't seen them before--most appreciated!
