Isn't this from the classic ashes test when rain stopped play on the last day (Oval)? They resumed with only 30 odd minutes to go and Deadly did the rest. Bowled the Aussies all out.

Nor me! I'd go for Australia away!

My all time Cricket hero. I too bowled left handed and was almost as good as Deadly until I released the ball. He could bat as well.....

I have the answer to that white tower.... The timber structure was removed in the early 70s as it was deemed unsafe. It was on top of Broadmead Baptist Church. We all must've walked by this church 100s of times without knowing it was there. In my day, WH Smith and HMV were underneath. Nowadays, according to the photos, it's a Tesco Express. If you're trying to place where it is, go down Union Street and at the bottom, it'll be on your right just before John Lewis (again in my day, then another Department store and now Primark I think).

What was the white statue/whatever to the left of the gentleman? Can't remember or even place where it was.

Over a packet of crisps? You're crackers! And if you're as old as me, may I recommend the (Alan) Crawford Crackers!

Surely... Goal from the Twine is all mine all mine Goal from the Twine's all mine

Maybe it is a new genre called Dumb and Bass(ic).

Didn't Ian Matthews die twice? The first time was when his obituary was printed in a national daily and he wrote back to say his demise had been greatly exaggerated.

I thought you might know. Thanks Slarti

The only Fairport drummer I can name is Dave Mattacks....and only because he had the drum stool for an XTC LP (Nonsuch). I take it then that Dave wasn't FCs first drummer?

Very well put Luke My wife was in hospital for last 3 months of pregnancy with severe preeclampsia. Our only son is now 23. Michelle's husband used to visit this site. If he's reading this thread, please pass on a Thatcher's from us!

My memory of this game was trying to do an oil change for my MG Metro car in the morning. Trouble was I messed up the thread for the oil sump bung. I had to drive to a garage in Avonmouth who fixed it!

And how many versions of Spiderman origins are going to be made? They missed a trick here as the last one should have only been available on the web

You also have many of the film titles having nothing really to do with the actual book apart from character names. Then there was the Thunderball court case which meant the co-author could claim rights. The result was the final Sean Connery 007 outing that isn't part of the Eon canon of James Bond releases. Sticking to some of the original book plots could be the way to go.

Didn't Jimi Hendrix do similar?

And what a great idea he had to base it on a classical tune free of copyright. Stunning song of his too. Any covers not so.

BBC News - Karl Wallinger: Whole of the Moon artist dies aged 66 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68540877 Ship Of Fools is one of my favourite tracks of all time. What an album as well.

This is the greatest pub! The Dove.... The Falcon in the centre is great for food.
