In my defence I was very young and daft 😁

Understandable, Sock Right to Aztec Camera. So with them and Orange Juice, that should give the connection.

And a hint for number 4 would be to think of "I know they say love is blind" in falsetto.

CrepuscularCritter · 06/08/2020 21:23

And yes, Iggi to Hue and Cry. So that's three bands from....?

Spill the tea, Twig. How come you met him?
Was he 2' tall? They usually are

CrepuscularCritter · 06/08/2020 21:24

I'm assuming he was chemically challenged, Twig.

TwigTheWonderKid · 06/08/2020 21:24

But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
80s

Willow2017 · 06/08/2020 21:26

Oh bugger so many I actually knew yet again!
Must check more regularly in future😉

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 21:27

I thought you were telling us the gossip there, twig 🤣

Oh, me me! I know H&C are Scottish, so are they all Scottish?
CrepuscularCritter · 06/08/2020 21:28

Twig...that's somewhere from my ex's record collection...big deep voice?

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 21:31

I can't think of your theme, twig??? They're all very 80s.

TwigTheWonderKid · 06/08/2020 21:32

He wasn't very tall (maybe that explains his choice of very tiny women) Bizarrely, it was at one of Peaches' ( I think, or possibly Pixie's birthday parties) 30 kids in a church hall, Paula at one end, Bob and Jean Marine at the other and Michael sitting next to me in my office above, making phone calls. Very strange.

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 21:32

Ooo. Iggi. Aztec camera are Scottish. And I think orange juice might be too

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 21:33

Mind you, so are lots of other bands. Simple minds? Big country?

CrepuscularCritter · 06/08/2020 21:34

Iggi has it: Scotland. And the singer from number 4 has a Scottish place name as his last name, and I think at least some of the band are Scots.

TwigTheWonderKid · 06/08/2020 21:35

Sorry, mine have no theme, thay're totally random. I've just got back from almost a week at my MiL's and that, combined with the best part of a bottle of wine means I can't manage themes.

Critter, deep gravelly voice, bit miserable...

Honeyroar · 06/08/2020 21:35

Sorry, I was watching Married at first sight Australia- absolute crap, but it’s been a fun thread on here!

JT was very tall, very slim. Wore shorts and a baseball cap back to front (like a 12 yr old!). Slept nearly all the way to LA, where he lives. Barely spoke but was polite. Complained he was cold so I threw another blanket over him, that’s as close as I got! I remember chuckling that nobody would fancy him now! He had no charisma. Not gone down as one of my most memorable celebs!

Mrs Sock I hope you weren’t joining the club on one of my flights! 😃

CrepuscularCritter · 06/08/2020 21:35

Sock Be careful...you might inspire part 2... Wink

CrepuscularCritter · 06/08/2020 21:38

Twig Laughing Len! Grin I should have known.

Honeyroar · 06/08/2020 21:40

Twig I’d much rather have met Michael Hutchence. As we’ve discussed on a previous thread I think he was sex on a stick. They did a free concert in Paris when I was an au pair there, in a huge city square. My friend and I managed to push our way to the front row. He was gorgeous!

TwigTheWonderKid · 06/08/2020 21:40

Well done Critter! Do you know what the song is though?

CrepuscularCritter · 06/08/2020 21:43

Not a clue sadly, Twig. I just sang Famous Blue Raincoat, Suzanne and First We Take Manhatten...but it's none of the above.

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 21:44

Honey, tell us about your memorable celebs.
Go on, they can't sack you now! (every cloud....)
(Hope your ok enough for me to have said that)
(Hugs n love 💗)

And only if you were on a flight from Switzerland in 1989

CrepuscularCritter · 06/08/2020 21:44

And Honeyroar the lack of charisma is the real killer, isn't it? Disappointment on legs.

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 21:47

Someone on thread no 1 had met green from scritti politti.
