Was there. Came thru backstage with my new girlfriend who was mighty impressed. As described above The Promise opened for them on their World Tour, so the one and only time I didn't pay for a gig.

Great pic. I remember them winning the local Battle of the Bands in Seaford. That was perhaps the apex of their journey. My brother joined The Promise and they got a recording contract in LA. Went on the 1985/6 World Tour opening for FGTH. When HJ left, they asked my brother to be lead...

I used to go up to that flat and watch the Cricket. She drove a VW Sirocco and I remember them together. It ended badly.......

Didn't see the band pic referenced above (can you send and I'll tell you who the gal is). Grant is my older brother. Luke Cresswell was the drummer and as you said, off he went to Stomp fame. I went to school with the youngest daughter Taylor. Although they all lived in Woodingdean, they...

Would have been very late 70s and very early 80s.

Yes, exactly. Rode the wave of the mod revival. My brother was lead singer.

My brothers various bands. Wally & The Four Pleaters, Chicane, The Techniques, The Promise, Low. Last band was last night....Tears for Fears in Philly (very very good).

Be careful at night and make sure you're around people. Around Penn St has become very run down. Lots of stores boarded up across the city. Its really quite sad to compare how things were 3 year ago to today. Out and about in the summer daylight should be fine.

Ivy League - University of Pennsylvania - Wharton School

That's genius. Where did they go to school? Have you ever spent time looking a Barack Obama's life? Where he lived, who he admired, his family ties? As stated, Presidents come and go. The "outsiders" are the permitted face of power. They are the billboards and then discarded. Play nicely...

The US is run by a permanent political class. A revolving door of neo-liberal snobs. Families who know one another, send children to the same private schools, colleges and then onto Wall St, State Dept or Intelligence Services. Inside the DC beltway is where decisions are made. Presidents...

A lazy question, but is Molumby making Premier League progress? I'm a little surprised he hasn't pushed for a move a la Gyokeres. He was highly rated but doesn't seem to get much of a mention from NSC nowadays? Is he heading in a Connolly-esque direction?

I worked for Cal-Air for 4 years. British Caledonian Charter as is was known. GB-JZD and GB-JZE ex Laker DC10-10s. We would stuff 380 poor souls into those birds for various fun and sun destinations. Poor buggers from LGW to Orlando taking 13 hours with a re-fueling stop in Gander, Goose Bay...

I was 6 but didn't stop me having a beer at the bar. I helped the barman to collect the glasses from the night before and he asked me what I wanted. I'm sure he expected a coke or a chocolate milk (I can still taste that chocolate milk you could get in a glass bottle with a cap) but I asked...

That's odd. Mine was LGW - Girona in 1972. I recently moved and found the ticket!!!! Boeing 707. British Airtours.

Me and the Mrs were there. I think we traveled the furthest? Was on BBC Radio Sussex on the morning of the game explaining why it was important for the football world to understand our plight. Argus came by my parents house and gave them a lesson in what The Albion meant to the community and...

Who Will Win America: The Cynics or The Believers? “Nobody cares about what’s happening to the Uighurs, okay?” cryptobillionaire, NBA team owner, and former Facebook executive, Chamath Palihapitiya said this weekend in an interview with The All-In Podcast. “You bring it up because you really...

I think football is almost a different game to 40 years ago. Pitch conditions, player conditioning, number of subs, what tackles were ok vs. today, tactical formations, media expectations and wages that turn heads. He was a brilliant player in the games I remember. Not sure there can ever be...

Then it isn't really journalism is it. If a so called news outlet refused to cover a story about Hunter Biden's laptop, then you're actively aiding one political party over the other. The world desperately needs real journalism. We all benefit from media who support Snowden, Assange, Manning...

Sorry to correct you, but the post that caused me to respond pertained to a world at risk from climate change as a result of the potential for Trump returning to the WH. Coincidentally and sincerely, I hope he does not, but that's irrelevant. Facts are, the US performance on emissions has been...
