Good job the nuns who taught me at primary school never saw this, they were brutal enough with the ruler

Was it a football team?

A real how long is a piece of string question, beginning with what constitues rock and roll. iTunes has about 100 different genres it uses to identify music in your library, about half of them could be described as different rock and roll styles. Not that I would hold up iTunes as any great authority, my Album "101 Northern Soul Anthems" is tagged R&B, yet there is a Northern soul genre.

Anyway how about "Smoke on the water"

Correctomundo Lefty!

A common trick at Marina when buying a ladydrink, was "and one drink for Marina too"

Not St Hellier TC

So my turn to pose a question. I suppose this is not so hard if youve been there, but if not it could bee any number of places. That sounds a bit Irish, but that's not a clue.

Sure is the Monthly meet of the Melbourne Soul Club KTF

Well reading from the bottom line up SSENT repeats on the third line up, so I applied the same rule to the second line ETTFF.

OK back to the drawing board.

Me old parish priest will be turning in his grave, in his day naughtiness was confined to a quick fiddle with the altar boys.

Hmmmm, Patrick…, gently put, perhaps you need to hang up your recollection spurs and strap on the today, hence forth ones. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion. Comes with our handsome seniority. 

Less of the "Seniority" Sam I'm not even 50 as my pic shows

I looked at those letters for long enough, but nothing gelled, ironic really as Lusi was my first LB.

A bit of a left field guess, could it be San Francisco after the earthquake 1906/1907??

Stan Laurel. 

:happy0065:

Pick a Stan...any Stan

I've been to a few of the Emirates, but it doesn't really look like it belongs there. Islamicyes, with New wealth (Oil/Gas) Maybe one of the Stans or some other former Soviet Republic.

 a dog called Pickles found it....

Spot on Willie, don't think they ever found the bighter that nicked it.

In 1966 the Joules Rimy trophy was nicked whilst on display in London. 7 days later it was found...who by?

I have done a bit of both in my time PD,

 

If I do the "about turn" and walk out route I mostly tend to say to the person at the bar as Im leaving "Sorry, Im looking for my friend, he not here"

 

I have also stayed for 1 drink on a few occasions at bars and then said "Sorry but I have to go meet my friend"

 

I remember last year as I strolled into Action Street I plonked my ass down thinking I was sat at Sensations but was actually sat at the bar next to it when the girl behind the bar asked if I wanted a drink, I felt I could not really refuse as to save me from looking like a complete idiot, I had to laugh as Owe was looking over at me with a very confused look on her face 

You're certainly not the first to do that Dave, I did it  the first time I went looking for Sensations, later I told another BM what I'd done and he admitted he'd done the same thing.

Anthony is not really your atypical travel or food doco guy. I couldn't find any vision of the Thailan episode, but thisi bunch of one liners will give you an idea.

I haven't been to PP for around five years. I always enjoyed my time there though. I remember those markets, especially the Russian market- a good place to buy motorbike parts :)

And the best iced coffee in Cambodia.

Actually yes I have a memory that ethnically they originated in the sub continent somewhere, but I'm not sure that all UK and Irish Gypsies/Travellers are necessarily from this same Romany stock. Probably more closely related to an ancient tribe of roofing lead theives.

Bulgaria.

Cairo?
