Perhaps there ought to be a new social networking site for the, well, over 50s.
It could be called FartBook.

Can anyone find The VIP's doing "Straight Down to the Bottom" on youtube? It's very good, but I cannot find it today.

onlineMemberI love the Beach Boys, and I find that the need to breath comes quite naturally to me. I just get a bit of an "Emperor's New Clothes" vibe about the Beatles.

offlineMemberi love the beach boys, too. i think that brian wilson did some incredible composing. oddly enough, miss munky loves them too and seems to know the words to all their songs. that' quite independent of the old man's tastes.
i have to admi, though, that i still love the beatles.
jeni, do get mr jeni snr on here. it would be fun.
hope all is well with you, mr crow.
love, plucky. xxx

The All New Jeni B
onlineMemberAw Crow, thanks, he is. But he's always been more of a Stones, Zep and oddly, Motown man, than a fan of the "Fab Four".
I honestly think he would enjoy the banter on here, but if I introduced him to the joys of NB, I'd either have to go elsewhere or *gulp* behave!!!Posted 3 years ago # -

What/who is your dad like Jeni
Rab C
Billy C
Roy C
50 C
Is he a bit - you know - handy with the gloves or a pussycat?
Don't want to say anything I might regret later.
He looks a bit handy in that IOM photoPosted 3 years ago # -

offlineMemberHello chums,
Jeni, first I agree with Edward that there is nothing 'odd' about you fabled father liking Motown; a natural progression to the Stones, Led Zep etc.
Ramble's pic: I'm totally convinced it's recent.
So here's one for Jeni's dad who is rapidly becoming a a NewsBiscuit icon. It's not Motown but I'm sure he would approve.Posted 3 years ago # -

offlineMemberMorning from the other end of Devon, It is a fine Plymouth morning out there.
I cannot disagree with the love of The Beatles and the Stones, and I’m with Mr.Hack all the way on Motown, though they did lose their mojo when they moved out of Detroit.
I've never understood how Led Zeppelin amassed such a following, though at least without the 6th Form poetry of The Doors.
My progression from The Beatles, Stones, Beach Boys and The Who led me to Creedence Clearwater Revival (you all know 3 or 4 of their songs even if you think you don't) and The Band (is there a better minute of music anywhere than the last minute of “Forever Young”? ...Dylan and The Band, Planet Waves LP). All that led me to The Kinks "Village Green Preservation Society" and "Muswell Hillbillies".Posted 3 years ago # -

offlineMemberLife is good, thanks. Just enjoyed barbecued whole chicken, jacket potato with sour cream & chives, sweet red peppers stuffed with mozarella, and sweet corn on the side. Delicious. And all beautifully rounded of by the Rooftop Singers sittin' right down - memorable track, thanks.

[Burrrrrp] Tastes more like scrumpy to me, Scroat - the sort that carries on fermenting in your stomach. Not bad, not bad at all. Talk about living on the edge. Oh, that reminds me - Crow, it was The Holbeck Hall Hotel, fell in the sea in '93. Not that uncommon round these parts. Some folk just 'let it go', others make 'a bit of a fuss'. Mind you, if there's a free lunch on the go, you can bet your life Clare Short'll turn up...
