That is actually the thing I had in mind. Pineapple chunks is ringing a bell too...were they wee square things. And what happened to Japanese something or other wee cube things. Nostalgia is not what it used to be...
Kola Kubes, Pink Panther Bars, Spangles etc so what .. I reckon Norrie is a double agent! Back on trend Smoke On The Water or Einmal war Belsen bortrefflich! Guess the last one was only to shock?
Ach who needs those who continually crave GIO notoriety anyhow .. keep it here in the real world and not in the sickly "sweet" feelgood Radio Scotland. People are starving in the world and they continually keep referencing food!
Ricky and Lorraine from Deacon Blue will be at HMV, Buchanan Street, Glasgow from 5.30pm this afternoon signing copies of their new album. Form an orderly queue ;-)
the bits in between the awful choices were extremely forced.......the show could hev been a bit more adventurous than stones,beatles,ian durie for goodness sake....i'm surprised there was no request for the zeitgist song.....'to sir, with love'.
sad to say but they're not exactly george bowie are they...who has a genuine empathy
