They we’re having a meal in the restaurant (no cameras) and their table was cordoned off. Then they were constantly shouting at the staff to bring them extra food and drinks, I assume they were milking it as it was probably being paid by the TV company. In the show his missus was doing the whole “oh my god how an I going to cope in this (£100k) caravan” then at the end it was “it was so much more fun than I thought it was going to be be I don’t usually go on holidays like this”.

PARKLIFE. As I was writing this, I realised he wasn't the Eastenders actor that was in Blur. This has prompted me to look into Shane’s discography and it looks like a small treasure chest. In 1997, we have the definitely titled “The Album” which mainly consists of covers (Sorry seems to be the hardest word, Daydream believer, Grease is the word...and many more). But then we have 2000’s “Once around the sun” (now apparently deleted so I dare say a much sought after record among the the vinyl enthusiasts on here). Shane’s on the cover, hands together, sensitively posed with just a faint hint of eyeliner. Song titles include “Sha Na Na”, “Marvin on my side”, “Let me shine thru”, “No dull moments (summer love mix)” and the provocatively named “Lets do sex”.

chrisp65 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I was in a record shop having a thumb through the tat, from behind me I hear a booming voice introduce himself to the shopkeep. ”Hello, I’m Jonathan Ross” Shopkeep: “ok” Woss: “I’m here for a few days so I’d like to come back on Monday and look through your stuff” Shopkeep: “closed on Mondays” Me & mates: “ ha, ha, ha, ha. Brilliant” it was the best celebrity moment I’ve ever witnessed 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookily enough , my daughter was just showing me her artwork from school today , told me their project was to do something in the style of some bloke I’d never heard of called Julian Opie ( yes I’m a Neanderthal).. anyhows once she showed me her work I impressed her by showing her the album cover of Blurs greatest hits and didn’t have to admit to my ignorance Edited November 10, 2020 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remembered another thing he did, in the show bar they had a cheesey game of higher /lower cards thing. Shane gets up “impromptu” and takes over the hosting which tbh is fine. He had some fun with it (cameras rolling...). He asks the staff entertainer what the prize was and he replies £50, SR goes “what, £50, really?, well at least it’ll pay for your petrol on the drive home”. Yeah, maybe if they came away in a Hummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they showed us round, he introduced her with "This is Susie, you've probably seen her in Emmerdale". Me: "Never watch it". They still took our money, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Few years back he jumped on the country music bandwagon and released an album. Its every single bit as bad as expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Not sure how to put this song into context for those that don’t follow country music. Mike will be aware of Dylans version but this song is ubiquitous as a busker doing Wonderwall, it was and remains everywhere, tune into a country music station and you can hear Darius Rucker or Old Crow Medicine Show singing it at least once a day. Dylan and OCMS sang it, Rucker made it ubiquitous. Its like shit on the streets of Wolverhampton. Its everywhere. This is Richies version. **** awful.

The funny thing about that song is that I discovered the OCMS version a couple of years ago. I didn't know of any other versions, and I assumed I'd discovered a hidden gem. When I started playing open mic nights, I played it a couple of times thinking audiences would be unfamiliar. Only then did I realise that it was as ubiquitous as you say. It was quickly retired from the set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Can’t say I’ve ever heard that song before, even if it does sounds like just about every other country and western song . not my thing but it’s not terrible , I’ve heard worse , ie every single Queen song 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
