Shows how time flies. Not even born then,yet got all the stories of my family all visiting my Uncle Harry's place for the TV. Then it seems so long ago we cordoned off the street for her majesty's 25th,last real street party we'll probally ever see.Then I was in Warsaw passing the British...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasper_Carrott Jasper Carrott He's been around the comedy route along time. I had the pleasure to meet him a few times years back when I worked in accountancy.A real nice man away from the stage,and of course a great ambassador for Brum.

He's famous enough to make you start ranting and raving on lol.And as for the others why not post them yourself? Then I can rant and rave about how Borre...sorry Barre ruined the Tull sound by making it much heavier...my gawd the end is nigh,a post about a heavy guitarist unknown outside the...
