Far from sooking up, I was giving the team a hard time over the unbalanced whistling theme, when up popped mary -doll to get ripped into me.I think she missed my point, somehow, anyway, we've since kissed and made up.
After that, I thought,'that'll be me in the dog house' but they played Robbie Robertson just the same.
They are all your disciples, Norrie, and have learned the art of the pucker well.
Talking about the other side I see you've gone with Fire and not Human Touch - a far better pause in my opinion. However, I've emailed in, which if played, will be the best song on tonight. Easy peasey.
I send in the best song for tonight's show last night only for b*gger lugs to post an article which says:
"But her all time favourite rock and roll pause? "The song Bernadette by The Four Tops," she said. "I feel like it's one of the original pauses. The name 'Bernadette' just comes roaring back after the pause, and it's so dramatic. In a way I feel like it created a template for the way pauses are used in rock songs".
I was up in Inverness this summer for the Candy Staton gig in the Ironworks. Wandering around the shops in the afternoon, I took a notion to buy a Harris Tweed jacket but distracted by the overly loud Runrig performing 'Loch Lomond' live,I chucked it and left the shop.
Two weeks later in Aviemore for the deliquent's birthday, I wander into the Edinburgh Woolen Mill and decide to buy a Harris Tweed jacket. 'Loch Lomond' by Runrig is blaring in the background. Fed up with the sentiment overpowering the product I say, "I'm sorry, but if you can't switch that noise off, I'm not buying this jacket". The assistant switches the music off. This was a tactical mistake in a sense, because Smiffy proceded to come in and pick lots of cashmere and the whole episode cost a small fortune, but what was really interesting was that when the music went off, about 14 people came into the shop and by the time I'd left, there were queues at the till. I've been meaning to write to EWM to point out that 8 out of 10 tourists are not charmed by histrionic rock n roll versions of Burns.
Auctioneers seems to have had a wee make over, could this provide a source of mental cultivation, moral improvement and delightful recreation to all bloggers?
I don't know how any of them compete with Wotherspoon's. I've been in BB for the Cullen skink. The man in the eye patch likes to engage his customers. That's probably how he got the eye patch.
I know DC, my Dad's life long friend was Allan Brown from Kennoway. East Fife, Blackpool, Luton, Portsmouth, Wigan & Scotland. They were picked to play in an 14th Army / C.M.P. select circa 1946 after the Japanese surrender.
Cloughy took over form Allan at Notts. Forest & the rest is history ... Damned United ;-)
So...one of our original number has managed to get himself a regular slot blethering on the radio about music. Harry fae Gatehoose (with one of his Razorbills chums) has been given a monthly slot on Folk n Stuff on Alive Radio. Heard of it? Me neither, but anyway...eat your heart out HH Jx
p.s. yep Danny macAskill's great. Saw him at the Red Bull Uphill Chasers and The Daughter was mightily impressed a few years back when he did a wee display for the Boroughmuir High School pupils.
Harry can't be all bad if he likes The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.
Danny had a Q&A before his exhibition. The first child asked if he could have his gloves when he was finished and a second enquired as to his favourite biscuit.
I love his fascinating facts (-:)
ReplyDeleteHas he become our Factoid Droid??

I've got Billy Swan down for tonight. We'll see.
MD always missed the point.
DeleteShe did, but an awfy nice lass all the same.
DeleteTake your word for it.

Great shout AFR forgot about that. Did you get tickets yet for the gig?
DeleteUnfortunately I'm going to be in Cambridge when he's on. Got tickets for the Muse day on the 14th though.
DeleteMuse - I'd rather go to the dentist.
DeletePolygrip
DeleteYou haven't exactly been absent from Facebook yourself.

Its no fair.
What about Tiger Feet by Mud? It's a song about pause.
DeleteWhy is buying a record with pauses like Blackmail?
ReplyDeleteIt's paying for silence.
Look out for this in your Christmas crackers.

DeleteIs it a Bangukkah? New Year next Friday. Don't forget to send cards and calendars.
I'm still using my calendar, but can send you it on 31st December if you'd like?
Delete
DeleteWhy, thank you, ma'am! Wrong New Year, but.
My interaction with the show has been one long pause this year. Do youse lot actually post on f***book?
ReplyDeleteI don't go near the dark side

ReplyDeleteLas and das - doowops and shbooms.
DeleteI'm on a run. Two nights in a row.
DeleteIf I get Alvin Stardust on tonight I'll get an easy chair in the lounge alongside Billy, Julie and Henri!
Better run of form than me (:-(
DeleteKeep my chair warm...
This is what I’m going for tonight
DeleteShoo in Billy. Well, it would be if BB was on. Not so sure if Vic's there.
DeleteI haven't really asked for Alvin, btw.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the Gaelic suggestions on Wednesday!
Uill, tha Runrig a'seinn tòrr òrain anns a' Ghaidhlig ach chan eil fios aig BB agus Miss B. ach Loch Lomond.
DeleteDe mu dheidhinn seo?
DeleteHa! Easy for you to say!

DeleteI see Manfred Mann were played. That'll be the hat-trick.
ReplyDeletePlump they cushions Billy.
Did he? Did he?
DeleteDumb!
Did he?
Doh!
Auctioneers seems to have had a wee make over, could this provide a source of mental cultivation, moral improvement and delightful recreation to all bloggers?
ReplyDeleteI've never been in it. Judging by Streetview it's the site of a permanent wheelie bin exhibition.
DeleteThe prices are right ;-)

DeleteScotch and I have met in the Bon Accord and Horseshoe. They're full of old people like me.
DeleteOkay we could do Wotherspoon's on West George St. It'll be rare & handy for the Git also.
DeleteOld is good ... my stag-night was in the Horseshoe. Bon Accord was ditched for the Rock Garden in order to make it easier for MazzyStar & JfE 8-0
Delete8-0?
DeleteWis 5-0 the day no bad enough?
FFS.......

DeleteGlen - there are no other old people like you and Scotch.
DeleteImpressed by Danny MacAskill at the Velodrome today.

That's just the kind of post that should've made the BBC keep the GIO blog going. The just-the-facebookers don't know they've missed. Jx
DeleteWell done HfG, both him and his mrs turned up at the first blog soirée.
DeleteHe'll have an entourage next time.
DeleteThat's cool cause he's a good guy!
