Excuses of being tight cast but in fact he is almost as 1 dimentional as Tom cruise (cheekey cokeny hard man - no presence - no menace - no body) Cruise - arrogant word removed (but do all my own stunts at the age of 50+) look at me I’m some body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Navy blue parka for me with the bright orange inner lining at school. Purchased a sandy coloured one about 10 years ago... must have shrunk as its too tight now Got a green one last year in anticipation of my Iceland trip. It was warmer there then it was here! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 When i was at secondary school there was a phase of some kids wearing RAF style long coats that milletts sold for about £3 ( it was 1978/79 !). Never had one....but by the 80/81 term black donkey jackets were de rigeur, thanks mainly to the band the flying pickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later still, I had a Naf Co. 55 jacket, off Wilton Market. Represent! As long as you rocked it with Joe Bloggs jeans? i still see a guy in Ladywood who wears a 'Spliffy' jacket. He's had value out of that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 There was a spell when kids at school used to wear black bombers jackers with Pioneer, Technics or Kenwood on the back. I remember repeatedly asking one lad who had a Kenwood bomber jacket why his coat was advertising a make of kettle. He eventually punched me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember turning up for non-school uniform day wearing that and was mortified that it had gone out of fashion. Everyone was in chav gear. Amazing looking back how much of a shit I gave about that sort of thing. Another weird thing was giving 'two-strappers' abuse. Dunno if that was just our school or what, but the correct wearing of a backpack would mean automatic bullying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 22 hours ago, mjmooney said: Naaah. By the time Zep came along (68/69, but didn't really take off until 70), The Who had long since stopped being a mod band, and appealed to much the same audience as LZ (i.e. people like me and my mates). What was left of mod culture was listening to soul and reggae, and morphing into skins/suedes - all the ones I knew detested The Who, as 'longhaired rock crap', exactly like Zep. Must admit I prefer 'The Who' from 69- mid 70s than I do their early stuff. They were more of a rock band then like you said. I do like their early stuff and they released some good singles. Daltrey by 69 had mastered being a frontman as before that I weren't overly keen on him. By the mid 70 moon was sadly wasted and a shadow of his former self. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I wonder what a long life as an Inuit would be like, having lived a traditional Inuit life. It seems like a really hard life, and a sparse life, but also pure and bright and real and dangerous, and maybe a real answer to so many of our "1st world" problems we have these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
