  1. Hello tm4tj, so this is where you are. Just like to share what is blasting out of my surround sound at 20db just now. Speed King.....................Deep Purple Whisky in the jar.............Thin Lizzy Free Electric Band............Albert Hamond 25 or 6 to 4....................Chicago I'm a Man.......................Chicago Ace of Spades..................Motorhead Lets work together............Canned Heat...........effin brilliant tune Paranoid.........................Black Sabbath Spirit in the sky...............Norman Greenbaum Purple rain......................Prince She fekkin hates me........Puddle of Mudd Lifes been good to me.....Joe Walsh On January 23, l978, Chicago guitarist and singer Terry Kath died from an accidental gunshot wound. "Terry Kath was a great talent" says Jim Guercio, who worked with him on a solo album that was never completed. "Hendrix idolized him. He was just totally committed to this band, and he could have been a monster (as a solo artist)." But, this is what actually happened:- Around 5 p.m. on the evening of January 23, 1978, after a party at roadie Don Johnson's home at 5754 Fallbrook Avenue in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California, Kath — being a gun enthusiast — took a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol and began cleaning it. When Johnson yelled from the kitchen for Terry to be careful, Kath removed the magazine to 'prove' that the gun was not loaded, pointed the gun in the air and pulled the trigger. However — in his inebriated state — he forgot that some semi-automatic pistols have a built-in safety feature that prevents the discharge of a chambered round when the magazine is removed (this is why the chamber should always be checked visually). When he reinserted the magazine, Kath put the gun to his temple and pulled the trigger, infamously saying, "Don't worry, it's not loaded", in another attempt to prove that everything was safe. Unfortunately, with the magazine reinserted, the chambered round discharged and killed him — a week shy of his 32nd birthday Albert Hammond (born on 18 May 1942) is a singer-songwriter, whose family came originally from Gibraltar. Hammond was born in London, due to a war-time shift in family circumstances, and later moved to the United States, where he began his professional career as a musician. He is best known for his hits of the 1970s such as "It Never Rains in Southern California", "The Free Electric Band", and "Down by the River". Hammond has released albums in both English and Spanish, and recorded many of his songs in both languages. His son, Albert Hammond Jr, is a member of the band The Strokes. Canned Heat:- The group was led by Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson (guitar, harmonica, vocals) and Bob "The Bear" Hite (vocals, harmonica). Henry "Sunflower" Vestine also played guitar and was an ex-member of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention. Larry "The Mole" Taylor (best known up until then as the Monkees session bassist), was their studio bassist, (joining full time through 1970), along with drummer Frank Cook for their first album. Canned Heat took their name from Tommy Johnson's 1928 "Canned Heat Blues", a song about an alcoholic who has desperately turned to drinking Sterno, which is generically called canned heat. Norman Greenbaum, a singer and songwriter, was born 20 November 1942 in Malden, Massachusetts. He studied music at Boston University. Greenbaum is best known for his "Spirit In The Sky", which sold 2 million copies in 1969 and 1970 . The song, with its combination of "heavy" guitar, hand-clapping, and spiritual lyrics was a memorable one-hit wonder. The song has been used in many advertisements and television shows as well as films including Remember The Titans, Contact, Apollo 13, Ocean's Eleven, Wayne's World 2 and the 2005 remake of The Longest Yard. A cover version by the British band Doctor and the Medics reached number 1 in many countries in 1986. In 2000, the song was again covered by the Christian Rock group dc Talk for the CBS Mini-series entitled 'JESUS: THE EPIC MINISERIES'. Goldfrapp sampled the song in her 2005 single Ooh La La. "It sounds as fresh today as when it was recorded," Greenbaum said in an interview. Greenbaum lives in Petaluma, California. He no longer performs in public, but continues to promote concerts and lives off the royalties from his songs. Greenbaum is notable for the rare achievement of having recorded two one-hit wonders. In 1968, under the name Dr. West's Medicine Show and Junk Band, he recorded the novelty hit "The Eggplant That Ate Chicago" . Thin Lizzy was an Irish Rock band, formed in Dublin in 1969. The band was led by bassist, songwriter and singer Phil Lynott. Lynott was born in Hallam Hospital (now Sandwell General Hospital) in West Bromwich They are best-known for their 1976 song "The Boys Are Back In Town", He died in January 1986, a victim of drug abuse Puddle of Mudd:- The band was named after the band's old practice spot on the Missouri River flooded leaving a puddle of mud in their practice area. The band's original name was Muddle of Pudd, but was later changed to a better sounding Puddle of Mudd So good, I have put the CD on again.
  2. Ten Years After............I'm Going Home, (live) Hers some info on them from my mate Wikipedia Ten Years After is a British blues rock band popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The band consisted of: Alvin Lee — guitar, vocals; born 19 December 1944, in Nottingham. Leo Lyons — bass; born 30 November 1943, in Mansfield. Chick Churchill — keyboard; born Michael George Churchill on 2 January 1946, in Ilkeston. Ric Lee — drums; born 20 October 1945, in Mansfield. History After several years of local Nottingham success as the Jaybirds, the band moved to London, changed their name to Ten Years After, and secured a residency at the famous Marquee Club. An invitation to play at the Windsor Jazz Festival in 1967 led to a contract with Deram, a subsidiary company of Decca — the first band so signed without a hit single. After touring Scandinavia and America, Ten Years After released their second album, Undead, which included the hit single "I'm Going Home". This was followed by Stonedhenge, a British hit. In 1969, they appear at the Newport Jazz Festival, in the first event to which rock bands were invited. In August, Ten Years After performed a breakthrough American appearance at Woodstock; their furious-to-slow-to-furious rendition of "I'm Going Home" was featured in both the subsequent film and soundtrack album and catapulted them to star status. During 1970, Ten Years After released "Love Like a Man", their only hit in the UK singles chart. It was the first record to be issued with a different playing speed on both sides - one a three-minute edit at 45 rpm, the other, a nine-minute live version at 33 rpm. In August, Ten Years After played the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 to an audience of 600,000 hippies. Their set was highlighted by performances of "I'm Going Home" as well as the blistering guitar solo and tuning parts on "I Can't Keep From Crying". In 1971, the band released the album A Space In Time, which featured "I'd Love To Change The World", a hippie anthem of sorts, protesting about the Vietnam War and possibly even capitalism itself. At this point in time, Ten Years After were in their heyday: at the beginning of their twelfth US tour, they played to a sold out Madison Square Garden of 20,000 fans. Taking the second half of 1973 off to pursue side projects, news of a band break-up ran rampant, but the album Positive Vibrations was still recorded and released in 1974. After a tour of the UK, and their last tour (number 28) in the US, Ten Years After broke up for the first time. Ten Years After reunited in 1983 for a tour of the UK, and in 1988 for several American concerts and a single album, About Time (1989). In between times, Alvin Lee fronted a band called "Ten Years Later" with a bass player and drummer who did some UK gigs, including the Bristol Coulston Hall. In 2003, a version of "Ten Years After" re-appeared, featuring every original member except Alvin Lee. Their new guitarist is Joe Gooch. They were still touring France in May 2006.

    Dennis Wyness

    Good news. Lets hope he now gets his finger out and puts in the same effort as Bayne does, then maybe he will be back to the prolific scorer we knew before. At the end of the season he looked to be just going through the motions, and made me wonder why we would want to offer him the contract. I know he can do it, I just want to see him work for the jersey...........right foot scoop, double shuffle, goal, that'll do for me.
  6. Benchy, don't mistake banter for real life. Brewster took us to another level, we have since then realised that there is more to life than being fit, we have now moved on and are capable of playing better foorball than we did when Brew was playing. We don't use the target man approach as much, preferring to play forward on the wings. I believe we miss Brew more as a striker than as a Manager. He was normally very good at holding and shielding the ball before being able to play someone in. We can now use the pace of Dargo and the touch of Wyness to create and score goals, therefore based on that we are not missing Brew as much as we thought we would when United made that initial approach for him. As we say up here, onwards and upwards, or in Brew's case, onwards and downwards.
  7. Harry, six of the strap for you, we are not questioning the merits of this venture, merely being asked if we want to go along for a bit of light entertainment, chill out, and bend over.
  8. Alan, I like you...........................just not that much.

  10. Get your apologies out and start grovelling, Caley100 runs a garage, you know the type, the ones that repairs customers cars, you know, the customers cars that would be parked in front of this garage thet he runs, and maybe, just maybe, he does not want to hand the customers cars back to them covered in birdie poo. Now then are we feeling a little silly now, run along and behave.
  11. LoL My middle name is Wikipedia
  12. What were you doing at the Olympiastadion on August 3rd 1936, did you beat Jesse Owens in the 100m dash but were disqualified for running backwards. Thats how Jesse Owens won four gold medals, and a certain Mr Hitler was not best pleased. trivia Running in Berlin, Owens (like most of the athletes) wore track shoes made by 69 Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik, a German firm. The company later split in two, becoming Adidas and PUMA. Owens endorsed presidential candidate Alf Landon in 1936. Owens was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African Americans.
  13. The most famous Mar bar rumour is one that involved Marianne Faithfull and Mick Jagger enjoying a rather special picnic. She denies it
  14. Well, I am going to get a commodore 32, watch out for the chiggers, aaargghhh
  15. I don't want to spoil the party.........but I do believe he was speaking to me, Les Fridge is the one. Yngwie, I've forgotten more about goalkeeping than Les could teach me, so i'll give the tuition a miss thanks.
  16. You are right cap'n Ender, the ground is wet.
  17. Ok, how about Les Fridge, he played in goals for Saint Johnstone to allow them to keep Alan Main fit for league opener. This was Alan Herchers testimonial which Saints won 3-1. What do I win, season ticket, free Guiness for a season...
  18. Hmmmnnn, seagulls, they are a pest round the coastal areas. Brightons nickname is The Seagulls. however, try this to ease your frustrations http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/northwest/fun/p...llsattack.shtml and remember, watch yer chips Don't feed the gulls ... or else PEOPLE caught feeding seagulls in Scottish towns and cities could be hit with antisocial behaviour orders and fines, it emerged today. The drastic legal measure is one of the ways of tackling the threat posed by urban gull populations proposed in a new report for the Scottish Executive. Fixed penalty notices are suggested in the document, which was compiled by the British Trust for Ornithology and Stirling University and which goes before ministers this week. Antisocial behaviour orders could be used if offenders persist in feeding gulls, with fines and even jail a possibility if an order is breached. A cull of birds is ruled out because the population of some species - particularly herring gulls - is low. In the past, residents have complained of being attacked by gulls guarding their nests. A spokeswoman for the Scottish Executive said: "We will consider in detail the report’s findings before taking any further action." The problems posed by gulls in Scotland’s towns and cities have become so severe that MSPs held a debate on the subject in the Scottish Parliament in 2002
  19. Rummaging through my drawers the other day, I unearthed a wee gem of a programme, all ten pages of it. This was the Scottish cup third round match at Station Park on Saturday 25th January 1986. Nairn had arrived at this game after beating Meadowbank 1-2 in Edinburgh, with goals from Charlie Innes and Dave Penman. The scorer in the first game was none other than our own Graeme Bennett Graeme Bennett “Nicknamed 'Grasser' for some reason” according to the programme. Interesting to note that Dundee are really going full circle, as this article from the programme relates:- The Club was formed in 1893 when two local clubs, East End and Our Boys, amalgamated, (recognise any similarities to ICT ). In 1895 the club suffered the record defeat of the Scottish First Division history---- 11-0 at the hands of Celtic. In 1897-98 the Club finished at the bottom of the league with only four points and almost all of the team packed in and left. In December 1898 after playing four friendly games the Club was forced to go into liquidation. The crisis brought out a number of old hands and a plan of campaign was drawn out and on December 20th 1898 the start of the present Dundee came into being. At the end of Season 1898/99 the Club moved from Carolina Port to their present location, the agricultural land bordering Provost Road and DensRroad. The Grand Stand at Carolina Port was dismantled and transferred to the south side of the pitch at Dens Park. But, cheer up HeilanDee, the clubs first success came in the 1911 Scottish cup, two down to Clyde with four minutes left, Dundee forced the game to a replay, equalising with thirty seconds on the clock, and won a replay 2-1 to lift the cup Hmmmnnn…….. something for HeilanDee to chew over. Nairn squad for the game Joe Macmillan…………….signed from Muirpark Kevin Fraser………………played for Springfield, in the welfare Reynald Cameron……always played with Nairn Rab Cleland……………….former Nairn St Ninian player Steve Mackay……………from Nairn St Ninian, POY for last two seasons Graeme Bennett………our own ‘Grasser’ ex Jaggie, signed from Dalneigh Paul Macdonald………….signed from Renton Thistle, ex Brora & Clach Dave Penman………………Captain, ex Clach, played for Berwick V Gers in cup. Brian Fraser……………….ex Jaggie last year scored third goal V Killie in cup Ian Mckie…………………...long time Nairn player, deputises as trainer Charlie Innes………………signed from Craig Phadrig, Jaggies released him Colin Mackenzie…………..Nairn for many seasons, ferocious shot Derek Main………………..from Nairn Rangers supporters club Dundee squad Bobby Geddes….….keeping big money buy Tom Carson in the reserves Rab Shannon……....19 year old ever present this year Bobby Glennie..……fans favourite, signed from Dons in 1978 Jim Duffy………...…bought from Morton, was he bald then ? Jim Smith………...…back from suspension, full back Stuart Rafferty…...ex Motherwell John Brown………...penalty taker, better known as Bomber Brown at Rangers Graham Harvey..…..joined from Hibs last season Ray Stephen…….…already scored ten goals this season Robert Connor….…play maker, known as Rodger Tosh Mackinlay…...left back, went on to play for Hearts, Celtic, Scotland Albert Kidd……….....don’t mention THAT name to me, the man that broke Hearts Colin Hendry…….ex Keith player, who went on to star in Braveheart! Ross Jack…………signed from Lincoln City One or two names in there for the where are they now brigade Jim Duffy, surely he would go on to be a successful manager and TV pundit? Colin Hendry, sometimes striker and sometimes centre half, would he ever make the grade. Tosh Mackinlay, the same Tosh……Robert Connor, now manager at Ayr United, and who would have thought that Graeme Bennet would be pulling some strings at ICT. Now for Hearts fans, look away now, Albert bloody Kidd, yes the man who wrecked the dreams and left many a Jambo in tears on the Dens Park terraces, he has changed his identity and now lives in Outer Mongolia, (wishful thinking) Dundee’s manager was none other than Archie Knox, Nairn were managed by the lesser known Mansell Craib. Local Inverness shop, Turnbull Sports have an ad in the programme, they were the suppliers of Nairn’s kit. Support your local heroes…...was proclaimed by Wm Younger’s Tartan, can you still drink that? Dave Love, North sports editor for the P&J added his bit as well. So there you go, lots of history within the clubs that we are now facing, and a long way for ICT to go to match them. I’m sure there will be some rough times ahead as well as the good times we are having just now, but when we look back in a hundred years time don’t forget where we all came from. Oh, nearly forgot the score, something like seven nil to Dundee. Incidentally, Aberdeen beat Hearts three nil in the final this year. makes note to wife for Xmas, a scanner would be nice.
  20. My guess is Jaffa Cakes Jaffa cakes are small cakes/biscuits (see below). Traditional Jaffa Cakes comprise a round base of hard sponge, a jelly disc which is known as a 'smashing orangey bit', and a topping of chocolate. They are quite wonderful and should be enjoyed the world over. There are many different types of Jaffa Cakes, but the original ones were (and still are) manufactured by McVities. A new 'Jaffa phenomenon' has recently appeared in the shape of Jaffa Cubes which are manufactured by Cadburys. Jaffa Cake fans may be pleased to know that there are societies dedicated to the enjoyment of Jaffa Cakes, including 'Huggabuga Jaffacake Appreciation Society International' or HJASI for short, based at Edinburgh University. Jaffa Cakes: Biscuit or Cake? The source of one of the most complex conundrums ever to challenge mankind: Is it a cake or is it a biscuit? These small circular sponges topped with chocolate and squidgy orange stuff have been the subject of much debate over the years. Even the British government has become embroiled in this web of snack-related intrigue. At present the Jaffa Cake is classified as a cake but the British government is attempting to get it reclassified as a biscuit. This would mean it would come under a higher tax bracket as biscuits aren't as perishable as cakes, or something technical like that. It is not clear how much more expensive the Jaffa Cake would become should this proposal go through Parliament, but it's possible they could move from the realms of 'everyday favourite' to become more a much more exclusive item. In which case, they could end up being treated similarly to fine wines, so that in the future, small groups of Jaffa Cake connoisseurs might be found in darkened cellars discussing texture, nose, and full-bodied flavour. Whatever happens, the Jaffa Cake will retain a unique place in the biscuit/cake market. So I reckon it's a biscake :016:
