It was like some recent multi page posts, do you really think it was me who "wrote" the Nostalgia post - it was a simple cut 'n' paste item of an "email I received some years ago" Nit-picking comes to mind again.
I was born in 1948, so yes, I was there!
If it weren't for the fact that you post some superb and enthralling writing, you'd have been on my ignore list by now
Ah the memories this brought back, scrumping, wooden go karts running on pram wheels. Happy days, no longer possible in our pre packaged politically correct, nanny governmented days. To all who remeber these pleasures
I did not think, nor did I imply, that you were the person who was claiming to have stayed up to watch Dr. Who!! I could see - as could anyone, thanks to the clarity of your post - that you were quoting somebody else. That's why I wrote 'somebody' and not 'Brian!!
Being castigated for things I've posted is one thing: but gimme a break! Don't have a go at me for things I haven't even written!
I wore Old Spice 'cos my Dad did.
Then one day, a gorgeous woman who appeared to know what she was talking about informed me that Old Spice was an 'old man's scent'.
Never wore it since that day.
Am now a Fahrenheit fan.
Used to wear Essence of lime by Geo. Trumper, which I still like.
Ah the good old days in School.. in the music class trying to remember the correct names for the music they were playing.. and all you could remember was "The Old Spice Advert", "The Maxell Sound barrier Advert" ,"the Hovis bread advert" and "The theme from 2001 : A Space odyssey" *

Carl Orff - Carmina Burana - O fortuna
Modest Mussorgsky - Pictures from an Exhibition - Night On Bare Mountain
AntonĂ*n Dvořák - New World Symphony (No 9) - Largo
Richard Strauss - Also sprach Zarathustra - Opening movement
I was a right smartarse: I recognised the old Castrol GTX "oil can with the drip running down the side" ad music as the first Nachtmusik from Mahler's 7th.
Oh, and to correct you on a couple of things:
Mussorgsky's "St.John's Night on a Bare Mountain" is an entirely separate work from his "Pictures at an Exhibition".
Richard Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathustra" is a tone poem, it doesn't have separate movements - even though on CDs it may have track splits, it's usually performed without any breaks.
