  1. I think the focus of the thread must have changed a while back-- in any case, this is turning into a treasure trove. I had no idea that Listen had supported Cream, or turned down a chance to be on Ready Steady Go (or that RSG wasn't shown in the Midlands--that's the really amazing bit of information!! ). Or, indeed, that Robert's friends called him Plonk. Even Percy's an improvement on that. Guess he must have sold the name to Ronnie Lane! Kepp rabbiting, Blocoboy, this is great.
  2. Great stuff, Blocoboy--there is A LOT of interest in this sort of thing here! Thanks very much!
  3. I've got that! (And their next one, Don't Bring Me down.) I won a miming contest to it at school, playing the part of Phil May. Well, it was an all-girls school.
  4. The guy in the Jimmy Page mask fooled you, then? Sad. Very sad. (Go on, tell us the story, you know you want to! )
  5. Oh, OK. Well, I still don't see much in the way of drama in the picture itself, though I'm sure there was a lot of tension in the air. But everyone would have known exactly what had happened.
  6. I don't think the Horrible Incident had even happened yet, had it? (Edited for typo.)
  7. No, doesn't look at all like him to me.
  8. What an adorable little lad! Who'd have guessed he'd have grown up to play some of the best and loudest guitar in rock 'n' roll, in between bonking women, swilling Jack, and scarfing down drugs, all on his way to being awarded an OBE?
  9. Welcome back--but that pic really isn't Robert and Maureen. It looks nothing like her. Not all sources are reliable! These days, every time I see that pic of Robert and Jason, I think of the O2--how hard it would have been to imagine how things would play out all those years later, for both happy and sad reasons.
  10. I think some people put cucumber in Pimms, though I stick to fruit myself. However, I'm still baffled by it being muddled.
  11. I don't know what muddled cucumber slices are, but the whole drink sounds revolting! Unlike Mr. Plant.
  12. Beat you to it by about 30 seconds! As I said, it seemed to have Nabokov's hallmarks but I'd never read it in anything of his.
  13. Who wrote that, was it Nabokov? (I was wrong, it was Primo Levi--but the combination of butterflies, signs, and symbols led me astray. )
  14. Well, sorry, but many of us do object to a lot of the content of those posts, and find them deliberately impossible to ignore, too. But I agree the thread was getting offtrack, so thanks for the nice pics you all just posted.
  15. You more than most. In one form or another.
  16. You know what? I'm getting really tired of hearing how only you are on the true wavelength, because the rest of us are too dumb to have picked up on the mystical conspiracy that you perceive in any given topic. I'm just sayin'.
  17. I was just remarking that you were then suggesting that the discussion had been off-base, whereas in fact I don't think it was (up to that point)--see PlanetPage's post above, for instance. That's all!
  18. This is a fabulous pic.
  19. I stand corrected! (Actually, I'd even heard of this!)
  20. Well, you were the only one speculating along the blond-hair-blue-eyes line. (Personally I'd been secretly hoping it was a goldfish reference, nobody ever sings to them. :'( )
  21. And still is. I agree that this is the connection being made here, the Aryans WERE a proud people who were later seized upon by Hitler as his idea of the ideal race.
