Rod Stewart, Long John, Julie Driscoll and some guy called Brian auger (who I don't know), when Rod was 19.
How sharp they look!
A wanker AND a pansy apparently.
Oh, and a wimp, and 'not a real man'.

I'm just surprised someone as young as you knew any of them.

Brian Auger was an early performer of drill music.
I once had a whim and I had to obey it
To buy a French Horn in a second-hand shop;
I polished it up and I started to play it
In spite of the neighbours who begged me to stop.

Very good mis. Very good indeed!
I know a man who taught his dog to play the trumpet on the London Underground.
He went from Barking to Tooting in an hour.

Compare how they look to the yoof of today and it's no surprise that the country is in the shit state it's in.

No, I don't get the grey joggers.
Of course it's 'prison chic'.
It looks vile, especially on young girls.
It's always grubby too.

^^^^^^^^ this...
Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.

I wish to be associated with the remarks of the two posters above.
