I've been to an Altered Images's gig - and I qualify on all counts.

But never heard of Ghost Train - do you mean Ghost Town (the Specials)?

Thank god Huw.
Thought I'd imagined the early 80s there for a minute.

I can answer yes to all of Co's original questions, but am loathed to accept I am now classified as an "old bugger" .

Fail on the Prince Charming Front

But had a very fetching turquose snood
And two pairs of earmuffs
Breasts are not pert. (although not conpletely sagged).

Chopsticks in hair

Those cheap canvas chinese shoes

Bit of japanese writing down your cheek.....

sugarfLeewhileyoustillcan · 18/10/2006 14:45

You had to buy Look-In (or rather your mum did)so you would know all the lyrics in time for TOTP on Thursday.

HuwEdwards · 18/10/2006 14:46

puddle, perhaps it was all those mind-altering rum and cokes....
