Ha ha Pat & Sorrel, I guess that was when they were at their most famous. I had visions of him peddling BB CDs to all & sundry last week Grin

Even Sheena Easton cocole? Shock

Lottie very bittersweet. It's good and bad that songs transport us to different times in our lives. Lots of memories on here for me.

I can almost smell the Kouros on this thread or is it Drakkar Noir?
