    Off Topic And Now for Something Completely Different

    At the time most club goers were dressed in a similar manner so nothing unusual, and although being ridiculed now they are history, unlike the practice of wearing caps back to front.

    Bluddy ell, I had a pair exactly like those, same colour the lot, black hipsters were the fashion along with kipper ties and a burgundy coloured shirt, and a blue suede jacket (and no not blue suede shoes) :emoticon-0139-bow:

    WW2

    I am Richard, one of the many stories that I have read, I believe that he was Spanish and as you say trusted by both sides, a remarkable guy. Of course there is the other side of the coin, the likes of Klaus Fuchs, not to mention Kim Philby and his gang keeping Moscow informed. Donald McLean was...

    WW2

    Most of these comments are attributed to the more well known parts of WW2, but for me its the many sub plots that make up the story that are more fascinating. Bletchley Park, and Alan Turing's brilliant mind, also Gordon Welshman and Hugh Alexander who helped to built the 'Bombe'. And of course...

    Virgin Media is owned by the American communications/entertainment giant Liberty Media, not sure if Branson has much input other than for investment purposes.

    A little bit more of my life's history has passed away, football then was a burning passion for me, Hull City AFC, England, different end of the football spectrum but the same exhilaration whilst watching. RIP Gordon Banks, you remained, until the end, the only English goalkeeper to win a World...

    Off Topic 60 years ago today.

    That all depends on the tuning of the guitar Castro, if you ever watch Keith Richards, Barry Gibb, and some others, they don't actually play chords. I think its called G tuning which enables guitarist to play most tunes by just moving one finger up and down the fret board. And with some older...

    That's the place Gambler, I couldn't think of the name, my wife went in there on a spinsters night out and said it was the oddest place that she had been to. Not long after we both visited and let's put it this way, neither of us ever went in again.

    Long way to go just to have a wander around Castro, in any case that type of night life is not my scene these days but it was the norm in Hull nearly every night back in the days I mentioned, when it mattered to me. Long way from Brid as well but there again Brid and Scarborough were often on...

    Damn Jimmy Page and his guitar playing, even when he's totally off his head, mind you much like Robert Plant in this clip it seems.

    Had a wonder around town last night to take some night time pictures of the Knife Angel statue, and I have to say what a squalid looking place it was, even at 7pm. Shouting and a right commotion, by whom I didn't want to know, the Marina area was a ghost town, altogether a disappointing...

    Am I mistaken TC, is that one of the Everleys in the top inset? Or maybe I'm missing something here.
