Another memory this has rekindled relates to being in the queue in Windows buying a couple of Nektar albums and this unbelievably attractive rock chick (of a similar age) starting talking to me because she absolutely loved the band… the two things combining must have had odds of ten thousand to...

I guess if you’ve seen them before, then I totally get the reasoning - especially the sitting 🪑 bit… For me, it’s the culmination of a journey… from an 18 year old in 2000 popping down to windows (music shop Newcastle) and cleaning up on 70s rock… from Lindisfarne, to Nektar, May Blitz and...

Very ‘appy to ‘oblige 🎸 Hope you enjoy it mate 🍻

This is bringing it all back... I used to have a heavy ROCK tape in my car, one I'd made, circa 2002... driving my black Ford Ka around Newcastle blasting out the Gypsy at ear splitting volume... one of my mates was in the car once and said this song is f'ing AWESOME... who are these guys...

Indeed, absolute belters... they've got so many and I suspect this gig will be chock full of numbers from the peak era... Rainbow Demon (I mean, what a ROCK AND ROLL title lol) is another fave of mine... Look at Yourself, the Wizard... the list is endless if you like your rock with a hefty...

We scored ours for a total of £70 for two... in some decent seats at the Sage (now glass house) Gateshead, which is one the best venues in the north east... acoustics are phenomenal... I fully expect the evening to be an uplifting, nostalgic trip to the planet ROCK and back. When you consider...

I think you should start that thread… awesome idea 🎸

Yep, Roger famously provided those two classic album covers for the band… I got him to sign my copies when he bought his exhibition up to Newcastle early 2000s… I’ve got a collection of his stuff, love the one live Badger sleeve, Gravy Train - staircase to the day… he had the original canvas at...

Just and I mean just got tickets for the ‘Heep farewell tour… about one of the only legendary 70s rock bands I’ve not managed to catch… (Atomic Rooster aside, RIP) I’m very, very, very excited - bring on Feb 25 🎸🎸🎸

Sweet mother of God, that’s one of the best things I’ve ever read and not just in the internet 😎 Which one ? as there were two: Talia or Lyta - they were both HOT, so either way this geek is about to register his delight all over the internet 😂 Unless of course you’re referring to Bester ...

The history lesson thing didn't bother me in the slightest, moreover the (almost immediate, following his departure) realisation that someone who'd been lucky enough to coach our wonderful club was in actual fact a self-effacing nobber of the highest order. The transition from plucky PL novice...

Kosh was a really cool mysterious, quasi mystical character from the awesome (LOTR in space) Babylon 5... He was a Vorlon and they wore an encounter suit (disguising their true form) which I thought was a splendid example of the allegory of nearly every NSC 'character' who visited the forum... I...

We must be about the same age ? born in 81... the PO journey seemed magical to me... unreal... Yep, this has bought back some stuff... a wee while after (the PO final season) I started calling the premium rate 'club call' line for news... being exiled as I was and stuck with ceefax as my only...

He seems to be convincing himself ‘everything’s okay’ with the same positive reinforcement psychobabble sentences reeled out repeatedly.… it would appear the Chelsea experience had addled his mind. I’m not sure he’d cope with another job, and conversely I’m not sure he’d accept anything other...

Wow… that was enlightening 😂 He said a lot, and yet said very little. Sounds like he’s been boring a counsellor to death with his overt self analysis… yeah I wish I could reconnect with my family whilst coining in £££££ a month… spa days galore, heck even a new bathroom - got the tiler to do...

One of my first (genuine) Albion supporting memories was this… I’ve been quite saddened by this news… RIP Barry and thank you for cementing my Albion love story… Seagulls.

Blimey - what's he typing with ? If he's mushing his head against the keyboard, it's surprisingly articulate stuff...

Right now, I’m reminded of the Sami era… it’s about as convincing on the maverick tactical disposition vs stark reality front.

I’m not writing him off, but I predict he’ll be no more impactful than Propper… the Dutch league produces brilliant out and out defenders… midfield and attacking positions are hit and miss at best, and we specialise in over paying for mediocrity in that regard… the evidence is there, we do it...

Pah; I guess we’re seeing the risk of gung-ho style high press system … I guess the core group (the Dunks et al) are adapting to another disposition, a demanding, draining process… alas, I suspect it’s taking its toll… the new guys seem (almost to a man) literally all over the shop… then again...
