Yes Sparkling, the US tour. Much footage of John Taylor in leather trousers.

Diamondcassis · 17/08/2013 16:08

Founded Juicy Couture. 7 years older than him. He clearly settled when i didn't get in touch

I thought Nick Rhodes was actually called "Nigel".

You more who else had epic legs? JJ Burnel(sp) from The Stranglers. I had a funny turn watching him on The Tube.

Mooooooine!

SoupDragon · 17/08/2013 16:21

John Taylor's real first name is Nigel.

Sparklingbrook · 17/08/2013 16:32

Roger Taylor is DJing in Ibiza tonight, and Nigel is doing the Edinburgh literacy festival. Very random. Grin

OMG, I LOVED Sing Blue Silver, and As the Lights Go Down (the tour documentary, I think that's what it was called?). Found them both on YouTube recently and blissed out for a few hours Grin

One of my friends has a picture of her sandwiched between John Taylor and Simon Le Bon as her cover picture on FB Envy

DiaryOfAWimpyMum · 17/08/2013 16:54

How can people not know who he is, I was going to marry him but moved onto Matt Goss, I still loved John though. My friend liked Simon but John was way cooler, he was very shy. (in my head)

Well I have just spent the last hour and a half watching 'Sing Blue silver' and it was bloody great. Oh for it to be 1984 again.....

The one thing I noticed was not a tattoo in sight.

I'll give your love to Nigel - I'm leaving in 10 mins but if anyone can think of a question from the MN massive....

Sparklingbrook · 17/08/2013 19:12

Ooh Wilson Envy Ask him if he ever wishes he could go back to 1984 just for one day. Smile

WilsonFrickett · 17/08/2013 19:13

Will do my best! Will report back...

Sparklingbrook · 17/08/2013 19:14

And let him big his book up even if it is a bit devoid of anything juicy. Grin Have fun.

Anyone for a bit of an 80s thread?

OP posts:
WilsonFrickett · 18/08/2013 00:48

Well I have to say he was really good. Warm, articulate and actually much better than the book - in RL he actually sounded like he enjoyed the ride, rather than in the book where it sounded like it was all a bit of a drag.

Still hot too...

Sparklingbrook · 18/08/2013 10:02

Ooh Wilson how fab. He deffo needs to rewrite the book, it did come across like he wasn't fussed didn't it?

OP posts:
WilsonFrickett · 18/08/2013 10:37

Deffo, I looked up his ghost writer last night and think it was probably down to him. Maybe I should volunteer for the rewrite Grin

Sparklingbrook · 18/08/2013 13:07

Have you seen Wilson? CV making out the book is full of sex and JSP knowing way more than she lets on. Grin
