Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[prendrelemick]

The most significant thing I remember about "I lost my heart to a star ship trooper" was that it was sung by women in their underwear.

I was going to quote a lyric or two, but every line is a work of cheesy genius.


Sarah Brightman's punishment for doing this was later to be married to Andrew Lloyd Webber, which really is out of all proportion to the offence.

I remember them wielding some fibre optic batons in the video.

Looks like we'll have to heavily reference the Christmas Play with this classic.

[MarkBastable]

Just to get back to Hawkwind for a moment, and in order to immediately focus the nostalgic attention of men of a certain age, I will say one word: Stacia.

[Paulclem]

There was a documentary on TV about Hawkwind last year or so. I had no idea. The only gigs I ever went to were to see my mates play in a pub.

[prendrelemick]

I saw them in Bridlington. I think they had just broken up and reformed (no Lemmy, no stacia). It was not a classy venue, there were about 300 fairly greasy unwashed fans all waiting for Silver Machine. I rememer the smell of burning sweaty socks from all the dope being smoked. After about an hour the lead singer (Dave Brock?) informed us the Drug Squad was backstage, and half the audience bolted for the doors. The concert ended there.

...Parker has on the Christmas menu and how the Christmas Play is coming.

Parker says he would love to give you a private screening.

...We are thin on the ground for material Gilliatt. We'll have to plunder the other threads for stuff, or write about absent friends. Or perhaps we could do a year long roundup.

We're set on characters. The stage sets are nearly complete, we're only lacking those two sheds of yours. I'll go back a few pages and see if I can track them down.

...GG. As its tea break..

A hunting we will go
A hunting we will go
Quark and Nutrin-ee-o
A hunting we will go

we stalk the wounded Lepton
and trap the cunning Muon
up spin or down spin its all the same to us

So weave your webs like spiders
aim your Hadron colliders,
Fermions or Tau its all the same to us .

But one thing you must know son.
Don't mess with a Higgs- Boson.
If you're going to con Cern its all the same to us.

Brilliant...only I'm struggling with who should get those lines; Old Seth or Padre Martini?

Bob Calvert, the man whom I shall always hold in high esteem for writing the lyrics to I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper, has already written the song with which we close the show.

Great choice for a closer, we'll work that in. I recognized the T-Rex front man at the intro.

Were you blokes part of the revolution?

Is that Mick at 0:50 with the pork chops and lavender shirt?

[prendrelemick]

Yes, I can understand the performers fighting over who gets those lines!

That can't be me, I was a pretty boy in them days. Although Jeepster by T rex was the first record I ever bought.

[Paulclem]

I always think fondly of those mark Bolan lines:

Oh Deborah
You look like a Zeborah

[MarkBastable]

When I compile 'best of' albums on my phone, I give them names that I feel should have been used by the artist in question. For instance, my Springsteen collection is called The Swamps of Jersey. My Elton faves are filed under Queen's Greatest Hits.

The T. Rex section is titled Over-rated Elf.

Hi Sounds. I was wondering the other day how you were getting on. How's the rich and famous project progressing?

We are thin on the ground for material Gilliatt. We'll have to plunder the other threads for stuff, or write about absent friends. Or perhaps we could do a year long roundup.

Actually, it isn't going that bad; I may actually pay last years taxes before they take back the house

Sounds! so you're not dead. Have you been brushing with fame?

I've hugged many a bason in my Christmas' past.

Yes, I think I have one of fames tire marks on my fanny...otherwise. Love the poem; where's Jocky and Atheist off too?

I don't know, it seems to me that David Bowie carried off the drag act a bit better

After the last few years, Parker will not get the chance to drag me behind another screen. Last time, I found myself next morning in Pauls shed with Prens pink tup, Jockys wallet and gator boots and a tarred and feathered life sized Prince Charles doll...

Ah yes, that can happen.

[MystyrMystyry]

Prince Charles! That's the Hag's Beson! The parasite that lives in Camilla Parker's Bowels!

Oh boy, I'm not touching that one.

Sounds...by god, you just made the script with that morsel. It will fit in well. Parker is one of the actors. The blokes names will have to be altered, if you (and they) don't mind, to protect the innocent.

I'll be heading to the east Texas pines this weekend to visit my sister and nieces.
Have a great weekend.

The play is coming on well.

By the way, I know what fanny means in the US, but do you know what it refers to in the UK?
