mary1947 2,082 Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Brew just read your post it's funny out some people don't like jeans? When green bowling in summers gone by if ever you went into a Nott's comp you had to wear all white, well at the time i could not get to the bowls shop to buy any ladies white trousers having a pair of white jeans i put these on, Fine? till I was playing on the green, then one of the ladies from the team complained. That was it I was Banned off the green. Why don't people live and let live any one would have thought I was playing for the world. not Nottinghamshire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,307 Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Reminds me of the time when I was teaching at a school in Lincolnshire. Every Friday lunchtime, several of us went to the local golf club for lunch as one of my colleagues was married to a golf club member. They had a smart dress, no jeans policy. One inset day, we'd been turfing out rubbish and other items that were no longer needed. I'd gone to school dressed in jeans as I wasn't getting glammed up to throw out rubbish. It was decided to have lunch at the golf club and I knew they wouldn't let me in dressed the way I was. Since they knew I went there regularly, they wrapped a tablecloth sarong around my waist and told me to keep my legs under the table!! Rules are meant for bending, sometimes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,296 Posted January 30 Author Report Share Posted January 30 I was bumbling around on the web and found a listing of songs that are 50 years old this year…. Here are a few of my favourites. Of course you will notice no Elton John or David Bowie as I can’t stand them. Seasons in the Sun – Terry Jacks Tiger Feet – Mud Jolene – Dolly Parton Sunshine on my Shoulders – John Denver Devil Gate Drive – Suzy Quatro The Air That I Breathe – The Hollies Piano Man – Billy Joel Sundown – Gordon Lightfoot Band on the Run – Paul McCartney and Wings Waterloo – Abba Annie’s Song – John Denver Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynryd You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet – Bachman Turner Overdrive Streets of London – Ralph McTell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,419 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 I think you must have read it wrong Qz, they can't possibly be 50yrs old Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,296 Posted January 30 Author Report Share Posted January 30 Piano Man by Billy Joel was released in November 1973, Tiger Feet by Mud was released in January 1974, bang on 50 years ago. Where the heck did that time go!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,150 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 @mary1947, in respect of your post above, the ladies are accompanied by a group called Celtic Thunder. They are brilliant ! As soon as I go on my pc I will post some of their music. At present I am listening to favourite movie themes in 16D, with headphones on, while I compile more questions for my quiz night in April.
