If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

I used to go and watch Bobby Ball (early mid eighties); on a sunday afternoon, at his club in Rochdale. Aptly named 'Braces'. He used to play a fender strat and could knock out some mean blues. Quite a good player. Shit comedian, but a good guitarist.

You actually know which one was Cannon and which one was Ball? Il Pirate, we've discussed bands as magnificent as I Am Kloot, and now you do this to me? :shock:

Bobby Ball was the shorter one, who looked like one of the Scousers with his tash & curly hair. Plus the braces and the hyperactive manner.

It's hardly like distinguishing between Ant & Dec !!

I had an hours drive today. Didn't fancy the cd in the slot & rumaged around a bit ... & found Tubular Bells. It's ages since I heard it fully through & it was wonderful.

I almost posted this on the "I'm Happy" thread. In fact, I think I will.

I've been listening to 'Anywhere Is' by Enya far too much in the past few days. I don't know why, so don't ask.
