Big_Stu Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1456082808' post='2985249'] Another night the text was ' I am in same bar as Noddy Holder but too nervous to say hello'. Seems like proud parents visiting, as myself and Mrs ET did last week.[/quote] If they were there as a family they're best left alone, he doesn't appreciate them being interrupted then, but if he's on his todd and looks amiable buy him a malt & he may well "hold court". I met up with him after a book talk he did before Xmas and we were slavering for the best part of two hours; his touring days, guitars - he still rates John Birch, family, catching up on who's doing what now & a "guess who" as to who he says did a much better Xmas song than Slade's.

[/quote] I don't know if family was there, presumably not as Django missing. Anyway, my advice was don't just go up to people when they are in a group and start chatting at them. It's rude.

mr zed Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 It's funny - but I always think of Slade when I'm in Wolverhampton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 [quote name='Freddy Le Cragg' timestamp='1456072368' post='2985104'] in the meantime, come to Oxford for the official Tallulah Gosh Experience tour, stay at the Ride hotel and take a wander to the pub where Gary Glitter once won a fiver out of the fruit machine!

EssentialTension Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 [quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1456067668' post='2985051'] Does that mean this thread is finally finished? Please? [/quote] Of course not ... And if it was finished, there would be another one just around the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 [quote name='rushbo' timestamp='1456073416' post='2985117'] Come to Halesowen, where everyone knows someone who knows someone whose dad used to go to school with Robert Plant. Or Glenn Tipton. [/quote] Bill Oddie used to go to Lapal Primary School and Halesowen Grammar School. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
