Growlithe · 17/08/2013 23:55

And I know I was wrong when I said it was true that it could have been me and be caught in between without you

Dancergirl · 17/08/2013 23:57

Kirsty did something with the Wonderstuff didn't she?

RIP Kirsty Sad still miss her Sad Best gig was at the Borderline - tiny venue off Charing Cross Road, early 90s I think..

Sparklingbrook · 17/08/2013 23:57

Well I must go to bed but thank you lovelies so much for joining me on my 80s ride down memory lane. Grin

Will check back in the morning. If I don't have a saucy dream about Rob Lowe, John Taylor. Judd Nelson or somebody from the 80s there is something wrong. It will probably be him off Rene and Renata knowing my luck. Sad
