Slade Time

[Dave W]

I wasn't in doubt until now.  

But given Herr Westheimer's hard-on soft spot for all-American girls



with that natural sunbathed touch and who wouldn't look out of place in a fifties petticoat, I'm not surprised about his choice. Let's face it, Gwyneth was always a bit pale and underfleshed for him, I'm happy to see how he sets his sights on more wholesome objects.

I'm more partial to brunettes but she does have that all-American girl-next-door look.

And speaking of Mary Lou, Ricky Nelson may be long gone but James Burton is still going strong.

That's a cute, unaffected version of the song.

Full Scottish breakfast;
Fried egg(s)
Sausages
Square (Lorne) sausage
Bacon
Black pudding
Haggis
Baked beans
Mushrooms (optional - too healthy)
Fried bread
Tattie (potato) scones
Dumpling, (Clootie dumpling to be precise) like a slice of Xmas cake, fried - it is actually one of the best parts of the whole meal.

.......................... and a diet coke.

(not the last one - that was a lie)

No deep-fried Mars-bars...?

My vegetarianism is a constant source of mirth to my Hebridean family, though I did have a Stornoway black pudding (Yea though I walk through the valley... Charles MacLeod - the real-deal no less ) posted down to my buddy...

No deep-fried Mars-bars...?

That wiz a Glesgae thing mostly; though my son who's still in Embra' swears that the deep-fried Snickers in far superior 
Of course that's still with salt n sauce!!!.......... and chips (fries to you philistines!  )

"Especially you, Don, 'cause you don't get lost, do you?"

Very English - Don was the drummer who lost his memory in a car accident and only regained it in part. Nothing is sacred to these Brits ...

 Thanks for posting that ! Being a US Slade fan I never got to see those !

I still remember Paul Hogan on his show back in about 1977 or 8 doing the whole "watch me deep fry a Mars bar" thing. Wish it was on youtube, some very funny and totally politicaly incorrect comedy.

He started writing diaries from that day on; initially so that he would know where he was when he woke up, who he had to see that day, if they were gigging then where, what time, who was taking him there & when. He kept the habit up & they're now being made into his biography.
Don is always a real gent & a firm favourite among the fans. My son is a drummer & I took him to meet them, made my day to see my son talking shop with one of my childhood heroes.

At the time time I also had an in-depth chat with H, who was more than happy to see pics of one of his old Hiwatt's & sign a provenance for Scott.

Cute.  (Or should that be "quoote" with Slade?)

I wish they would do a one-off reunion, Mott the Hoople style, I'd even come to London for that. Lea and Holder live off royalties, the other two have to tour until they drop dead, a common fate among rock bands where the writing credits are not split equal. If I may advocate a little socialism here, there is a lot in stabilizing a band in the long term in doing just that. Jon Lord once said that the dry-rot with Purple set in when they decided to no longer aportion the credits to every band member, whether he had participated in writing or not.

 Dave in his stocking feet,  he's how tall?
Looks like he'd come up to my navel 

[uwe]

And he could always take a rest while on his way up there and devote himself to other things though those incisors he has bode kind of ill ...
