My auntie used to live next door to Alvin Stardust.

What did she report about the quality of his lights?

DZbornak · 11/11/2022 22:56

I really enjoyed it, hope you're having a lovely Friday night!

First guess was Ferne McCann since she's on course to be Ferne McCancelled by next year.

No sign of lights on her Insta Hmm

HOWLING 🤣🤣

Is it too soon to nominate this thread for Classics? 😁

Google tells me that Nigel Hargreaves is a dentist in Leeds ?

Is that the sexy guy who used to be in Eastenders?

Used4tt · 11/11/2022 22:59

@SheilaWilde Snag sell American tan tights.. they have anglicised them and call the colour "builders tea" and if you look at their more than slightly porn-y facebook page you can see all the trendies wear them.

SheilaWilde · 11/11/2022 22:56

We must know each other because Alvin Stardust is my dad. He never puts lights up because he can't be arsed.

Or because he is dead?

Haven't you noticed that he has been a bit quiet recently- no renditions of Jealous Mind

Nigel Hargreaves was going to become a builder until he managed to resit his a levels and get good enough grades to be a dentist (apparently)

But the real question is whether he had one last hurrah with his Christmas lights before his death.

FettleOfKish · 11/11/2022 23:02

@EmilyGilmoresSass What this guy? He's not as sexy as Nigel Hargreaves to be fair.

Nigel Hargreaves (Halifax dentist) is a vegan who runs ultramarathons. He wouldn’t have time to put up Christmas lights at an inappropriately early date, between all that and the placing of dental implants. Yes, I read the article.

Leafblowertime · 11/11/2022 23:03

Last hurrah 🤣

Ferne McWho?
She must be very minor.

I don't know many celebs, let alone minor ones.

Looking out of the window, though, to see if anyone's put up their Christmas lights so I can go and ask for their autograph. 😀

I live very close to an UNfamous celebrity...

They're rarer.

Oooh who is it?😂

EgonsShell · 11/11/2022 23:04

Sad to hear your neighbour (sorry, famous neighbour) is about to shuffle of this mortal coil OP but happy to hear her fairy lights are bringing some comfort.

HangerLaneGyratorySystem · 11/11/2022 23:04

I’m Alvin Stardust’s love child.

Nigel Hargreaves has seen the inside of my mouth.

Do you think he did the building restoration work on the church his practice is in himself?

Plastering is the same skill as a filling I imagine.

I've never really thought about why they were 'American tan', what is an American tan? Does it refer to people who have baked themselves in the sun too much that they look like dried up leather?

Nigel Hargreaves website has probably never seen so much action!

Ok either say who or don't bother !!

I loved Alvin Stardust.

He had the best accent in showbiz

Ooohh- is Cliff Richard your godparent or was that only his legitimate children and you were born the wrong side of the sparkly quiff

In fairness if I knew I wasn't going to see Christmas 2024 my decs would go straight up, armistice day or not.

BRB just popping over to Instagram to try and work out who OP's apparently soon to be ex-neighbour is.

Actually that’s a fair point. Last hurrahs can’t be hanging around to mourn the glorious dead.

SandrasStickyHat · 11/11/2022 23:10

@SheilaWilde maybe it's meant to resemble super sunned legs? That's why we get them named after a beverage? Snag didn't feel that "crap I've smudged my fake tan again so I'm going to have to wear tights now" was a catchy enough name.
