Went to the Moselle Valley on a “Christmas Markets” coach trip advertised in The Argus for £49 about thirty odd years ago. Pretty enough but it was December and everything was shut. I recall very little of it except for some bloke on the coach back who got really pissed and stood up and told...

….the one who started “Do we expect too much of the rich?”

Both are great films but I fully understand your comment and that’s why I never watched The Boy In Striped Pyjamas for such a long time, however I gave in when my son, then about 12 wanted to watch it, I wasn’t going to refuse him.

Sorry more music. The Doors got me thinking. What albums do you really rate/like/enjoy that are generally seen to be one of the worst the band has produced? My favourite Doors album is The Soft Parade, however it is generally slated by fans. I think it’s well produced, good tunes and great...

Not keen on this as a single, however the album The Kick Inside is one of my favourites

I like The Beatles, The Doors and The Jam. The Stone Roses album is one of the best. The Charlatans have consistently produced fantastic albums and always put on a great show and albeit with a different style so do Belle And Sebastian (who give me so much in moments of depression) However if...

Waterloo Sunset is indeed a great single, but I could name plenty of songs in the last twenty years or so but were they singles? I mean what is one these days? If I look back on something I could physically touch I’ll nominate….

Ah yes of course I remember now as he used to sign the behaviour report I was constantly on with a simple’NS’ Thank you for replying

Are we talking about the PE teacher from early 80s Falmer here? In an era of bad memories because some of the PE teachers were bastards, I’m not just saying this but I recall Mr Schildkamp was the decent approachable one. Condolences to the family

@Beach Hut did you get to see S3 of Sloborn? I can’t find it anywhere

Top of Regent Hill it was The Princess Victoria

[Rainman moment] I recall having a drink in Bull and Bush in Crawley in 1983 My mate paid 70p for his pint of Heineken and I paid 78p for a Stella. However, i do also recall cans in the local Sainsbury’s were around the 40/50p mark so there was certainly a different pricing structure back then.

Likewise, as someone mentioned earlier they got paid BEFORE Friday’s lunch break. I was one of the builders on Homelees House on Dyke Rd and we’d have a right skinful in The Good Companions then go back to a building site and in them days it wasn’t steel toe caps and hard hats, it was Puma...

It was called The William Tell in the late 80s when I was a regular. I believe that had been its name for a while

Watching The Sweeney on ITV4. They’re having a lunchtime session in a era when between 12-2 the pubs would be packed with drinkers getting as many down their necks as they could during that short window and a mini riot when last orders were called. Not a Guinness pie with colcannon and a side of...

Fair dinkum, me and my mates of that same age all seem to really remember it well though. My wife does know who Reece Dinsdsle is as he was in Emmerdale Farm.

I have a Rainman style memory for 70s/80s matches however both legs of this seem to have passed me by

A nuclear war or a series of posts on a failing social media platform? 🤷‍♂️

They could print the words to GOSBTS on the underside
