Is nakedness a costume? Sounds like what went on between the costume changes.

It crossed my mind (owing to the fact that I'm a lascivious bastard at heart) while watching the recent gymnastics, it would be more enjoyable if the women did it naked.
Oh my God, those tight buns! :P

Sometimes I think about the Spice Girls in the nude. Other times, I keep my clothes on for it.

I'm not so well these days and getting up to London is a real endeavour, even though Charing Cross is 15 miles as the crow flies.. I'm just back from there and knackered. But I fulfilled a lifetime's ambition tonight by seeing Colin Blunstone live. The man at 72 is a force of nature and pure class. He did all of the obvious ones at the Borderline, some less than obvious ones, and three songs in he did the Duncan Browne cover version that I love so much. Absolutely bloody brilliant. Joyous. Gives hope to us all. I spent some time too speaking to a mate of Rod Argent. Now I am going to get some sleep.

Late 1960s from an era in which they virtually equalled Sgt Pepper and Pet Sounds:

He did them all tonight - total class - I am so thrilled I got there.

I've seen him a few times and he usually does these. Plus Care of Cell 44.

This Spice Girls reunion goes from strength to strength. No TV appearances, no recordings, no gigs outside the UK, no Victoria - but a f**king Mr Men collection. After all, nothing says Girl Power, rad aqnd street cred like Roger Hargreaves does it? Go girls, the 10 million wage is well earned. What next, Emma as Pippi Longstocking?

Surely it's the Little Misses.

I haven't heard anything about this but it would make more sense.

All we need now is King of Cool Arthur Lowe.
Who wants to see Little Miss Sporty instead of the real Sporty?

This is a true story Mike.

I had a mate at school who became a vicar. He was adopted and his mother and father were about 25 years apart in age. His old man was a decent enough old buffer - Willie Whitelaw-ish - but he was why Nick took rebelliously but also compliantly to smoking an old man's pipe (his old man's) in public as he was negotiating an accommodation of God. And his Dad who was a friend of the Bedser twins was also a mate of Roger Hargreaves in the Purley area and went under the name of Ralph (pronounced Rafe) R Ralph (pronounced Ralph) because that was his actual name, the bloody weirdo .

So, yes, I feel the uncool argument makes a lot of sense although personally I find the Mr Men sufficiently likeable that if they formed a ramblers' group I might actually think of joining one. The best I have done so far is find ones with a bunch of women who were born in the 1890s. This is all you get. Well, either them or the sex people, talking about having their boxes eaten without conveniently any reference to domination desires or cannibalism.. There is only so far that one can tolerate stereotypes isn't there. Notwithstanding the totally heroic Ovalteenies, life's too short not to be an individual, ja?

Ooh. ooh the Arsenal have just equalised.
