Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Y'know,it doth show just how much times have changed,to hear that Mungo Jerry song again. Today,it would cause an OUTRAGE on 'social media',just because of that little ditty ''have a drink,have a drive''. Now,we all KNOW it doesn't mean get hammered,then race your souped-up Mk1 Cortina along Brighton Sea-Front....but that wouldn't stop the 'I'm SHOCKED!' brigade.
I still have the very first album I ever bought.
I was 14 and we were taken to the seaside for a day.
Several of us went into a music shop,mostly to look round & look at the choice of records...and I,being an all-out,die-hard Rocker ... bought a George Formby vinyl LP that I still have and still play....along with my Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band LP's.

[ohhhh,boy-there goes my Rocker street-cred,disappearing at speed into the distance]

I’m three quarters way through a bad dose at the moment, I picked this cold virus up in the local pub so it’s my own fault as I knew it was doing the rounds there, the running eyes and nose part is very annoying otherwise I’m OK, the old whiskey and lemon plus cloves toddies work wonders on a cold.

Oh God Pug, how could you! GEORGE FORMBY!!! I’m thinking the ukulele might have been the attraction for you there, strings and a natural twang was in your blood from an early age.
The first record I bought was “Foottapper” by the Shadows, I have to own up and admit I was also a big fan of Del Shannon.

I just realised Gummy's internet might be down again, it happened before and he let me know through a friend of his, I have emailed him via the same friend.
Hang in there Gummy the Cavalry are a comin'

What's this advert about, "Papa Loves Man Boobs"

Papa loves Man boobs indeed.
I hope God blesses him with a beautiful pair, he deserves it for making a song and dance about it.
I often wondered why men have nipples in the first place, what use are they?
I had a mate back in the 60’s when we were in our twenties, he had six nipples, two in the normal place, two below them, and two below them again, I’m serious I kid you not, he used to make money out of it in the pubs, nobody would believe him so he took bets then proudly pulled up his shirt and collect the cash, you’d never be short of a drink with him around (no pun intended)

I have never danced the mambo, but I had a German girlfriend who lived in Tennessee, she had a silicon job done on her chest and was great at doing “The Tennessee False”
Perry Como was such a relaxed singer, rumour had it he used to stuff a live hedgehog down the back of his pants to keep himself awake on stage, it was only a baby one so nobody noticed it, it was hard to spot his lips move, in fact it was hard to spot any part of him move at all, folks used to call him “Perry Coma” behind his back.
Only pulling your leg Perry Lord rest your soul, I loved your singing.
”And I love her toe” was my favourite.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

All I found was this.


Perry Common is an area of north Birmingham that includes parts of both Stockland Green and Kingstanding. It falls within the Birmingham Erdington parliamentary constituency.
North Birmingham Academy (formerly College High School) is located in Perry Common as are the Hawthorn Shopping Centre on Hawthorn Road and Witton Lakes.
