Period Take That

[Gareth Hughes]

Ray Davies in Cambridge .

Did somebody say "Ray Davies"? All rise, for the interweb anthem of PPUK

Indeed, and his recent solo albums contain a number of similarly bitter-sweet songs, albeit with rather less optimism in many cases. A consequence of being older and grumpier perhaps?

I couldn't find a sound clip, but the lyrics of "Yours, Confused, N10" illustrate what I mean:

Damn! I can't use the hair-washing excuse (as anyone who's met me will testify).

 

[fjpdesigns]

Of course you can. So can I. Hair can be singular.

 

[robgil]

or a big rabbit.

I like wearing a rabbit hat as it looks like hair from a distance.

 

[Flyfisher]

Of course you can. So can I. Hair can be singular.

A gentleman goes into a barber and asks for a haircut.
The barber says "excuse me sir, but you only have three hairs"
"That's right", says the gentleman, "just give them a trim and a neat parting. Two to the left and one to the right"
"As you wish" says the barber and sets to work.
"Ah", says the barber, "I'm terribly sorry but one of your hairs has come out"
"Not to worry" says the gentleman, "just make the parting equal, one on each side"
"Very well" says the barber and gets back to work.
"Oh dear", says the barber, "I'm terribly sorry but another one of your hairs has come out"
"Oh well" says the gentleman, "you'll just have to leave it casual"

Who are Take That?

That was a joke wasn't it Joce?

I know you've only recently bought a telly but have you really never heard of them even on the radio? You'll be telling us next you've never heard of Robbie Williams and Angels.

I'm afraid my awareness of late twentieth, and early twenty-first, century popular culture is nearly non existent. I only listen to Radio 3 and 4, and put the newspapers out for hen bedding without reading them.

I don't even like modern period dramas! :lol:

And the TV license? Waste of money!

 

[Gervase]

Very sensible!

 

[fjpdesigns]

I grew up in Burslem , Robbie's home town,in the 60s, and his parents pub, the Red Lion, was just about the only pub I never frequented. It was an awful 1960s monstrosity selling Watney's Red Barrel. The best pub in Burslem was The Leopard, which has a wonderful history. Google it.

At first I thought you were feigning ignorance, Joce, but your use of the word "culture" in a discussion about 'Take That' proves this not to be the case.
