To continue Torn's tacky and grim thread...

[PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks]

Girls were finally allowed to wear grey cords at my school in winter when I was 15. I have never worn a skirt in winter since.

Citizen Smith , ROBERT LINDSAY

That was for Tatty

Citizen Smith!!! Wolfie (Foxy) Robert Lindsay!! Thanks Shampaincharly. But what was the boxing one with him?

Seconds Out! Thanks Google.

Yes Iklboo of course - we all seems to be choosing songs related to boxing. What music did Big Daddy et all have? Was there music? Probably heavy ish rock? I can't remember.

We shall not be moved

That's hilarious! Giant Haystacks was 6'11"!!!!! It wasn't really wrestling was it? More just shoving each other, they both looked on the verge of having heart attacks!

I think they both did

Are you both dead? I'm not surprised - a diet of pies and lager. They were probably knocking 50 then? They weren't young were they?

Just checked - he died in 1998 (born 1047) so was just 51 when he died so he must have been around 30 in that clip!!

...but, technically MamaLurve so's the Rocky theme tune

Potato, Potarto Tatty

Do you mean Citizen Smith? Don't know the theme tune, I'll have to go away and google it. Robert Lindsey, wasn't it?

eeek

Hadn't noticed we're onto another page.

Gimme a min to catch up...........

TATTY The theme is The Red Flag. It's the theme tune to Old Labour. Blair ditched it back in the '90s!

sorry x posted with several of you. Will this has taken a dip into darker waters.

What music did Big Daddy et all have? Was there music? Probably heavy ish rock? I can't remember.
I don't remember music, particularly. But people would chant their catch-phrases when they came out, I think. Happy to be corrected, though.

Wasn't Big Daddy's real surname something like "Shirley" ??? Or am I remembering that wrong?

That was his first name . Like John Wayne was Marion .

Oh Dear Lord! I have just watched the clip.

I'm not sure about our group date now... This genuinely looks like something we should have abolished a long time with you. Y'know, fox hunting, slavery, the stocks, public executions. We're better than that now!
Those inappropriate majorettes.... The fact that BD looks like twice GH's age. "Sock it to em"??? I mis-read that at first.
It just all looked so wrong. So very, very wrong.

What is it with all these alpha males with female names? Freud would have a field-day!

BTW, I just want to do a shout-out to anyone lurking on this this thread.

There were more names in the first few pages. If anyone's still lurking but not posting for any reason, and wants a cool wrestler name (like mine! Thank you Shampain )
Drop in a placemark and someone (probably not me, I don't think I'm clever enough) will invent one for you.

We're not some clique - all are welcome! So let us know if you want to play.

I wouldn't want to be part of a clique that would actually have me as a member!

(paraphrased from Groucho Marx)

Tartan Terror reporting for duty! Do you think I can wrestle in stilettos? If not, may have to reconsider the footwear. I have a lovely Maggie Thatcher style handbag which was left to me by my grandmother which gives a good whack.

For hair, I was toying between poodle perm or mullet. Maybe a permed mullet for the best of both worlds?

I inadvertently clicked on Torn's picture on the bus and I think several of the old ladies had a wee turn - we're not used to seeing such large amounts of naked flesh around here!

I'd give the stilettos a go, at least for the first week Donnie aka Tartan Terror. If you find them uncomfortable, you can always find an alternative for next week.

Great idea about the Poodle Mullet. I'll give that a whirl.

Do you think the ladies had a wee turn, or just a wee?

Torn - I'm not sure I know any clique which would accept you as a member.

Tell me about it!

I know Torn... that's why we let you play with us. It's pity.

Don't rub it in!

I'm rubbing NOTHING while you're wearing that leotard

Can always go as nature intended.
