@canefan Once got on the piss with Shona Laing. She was a good sort. She could drink too.
Once spent a party mostly chatting to Feargal & Elizabeth Sharkey, not recognising the name as I very rarely know band members names anyway. Great people, but I probably spent far too long staring at Elizabeth, bloody stunner irl. Felt pretty stupid when someone told me who he is after the party.
He’s not really worth knowing to be fair. The only song I’ve heard of his is no 80s banger
Do you mean The Undertones - Teenage Kicks? 78 I think.
Absolutely awesome piece and he deserves to be famous for it for the rest of his life.
When John Peel (BBC) first played it he was so blown away that he put the needle back at the start and played it again. Only time he was ever known to do that.I haven’t heard of any of the song, the band or John Peel so I’m not sure how to respond to this.
Peasant.
The only DJ from the BBC I know is Jimmy Saville.
This probably isn’t a good thing.
Don’t tell me he turned you down when you were a kid? That’s gotta burn.

I can understand not knowing the song. Before your time if you close your ears to music from that era. Likewise maybe the band but you haven’t heard of John Peel? Just about every band on that side of the world that was half decent has an album or extra tracks with (Peel Sessions) in the title. Bands would know they had made it if Peel got them into the BBC to record new versions.
What’s the “banger” you talk of? Surely not his 80s pop pap “A good heart”?

To be fair if the Sharkeys are the attractiveness spectrum then Shona was closer to the Feargal end than the Elizabeth end.

Not my thing. Certainly no Dr Feelgood….

In that vid of the Undertones, you have most of the band members doing the whole post punk hard/sulky look but it is completely spoiled by the drummer who is grinning like a wanking Jap through the whole song.
Great song though.

He was always so fun to be around. Lots of sex and drugs whether you asked for it or not. What a host

Source please
Just an old expression. Probably as a result of that song by The Vapours back in the 70s. Very picaresque in any event.

@Catogrande well that's disappointing
