ah, memories

Blaster Bates :-D :-D :-D :-D


we still have some of his records!

REAL LP records, not cds .............. shows how long we have had them!!


OH's parents sent them to us as Blaster was local to them.





We even have a combo record / cd player, so we can still play them

My sister-in-law is married to a Brummie. Trying to explain Cockney rhyming slang to him is a nightmare, especially "Aris", for a**e, as it is a double rhyme, Aristotle - bottle, bottle and glass - a**e.

I'm old, and I use 'can't be a*sed'!!

Thirteen year old grand daughter says she is 'hench' - and she is.
It means physically strong.

Usually, though when she uses 'phrases', or talks so she goes up at the end, I give her a 'granny look', she apologises and stops. Shows it's all affectation!!
