thank fuck you're back whitey! 3 day's without a post? too long mucker, what's with not being able to post a comment on the happy monday's post? i was just going to say, i reckon 'step on' might just edge 'kinky afro' out, but watching the vid again, i'm not so sure, good to have you back mate, lovey.
ReplyDeleteLovey, cheers mate, was off on a three day conference/piss fest, then most of the weekend spent with my darling daughter . . . I was almost going to throw up 'Step On' but had second thoughts after checking out the vid for 'Kinky' and it just stuck, the whole fucking album is brilliant, still got it on in the car and even Lizzie likes it . . . and picked up on the 'language' as well. Will email you on the morrow re previous discussion, looking forward to it. Cheers sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteHello hello hello Mr WLP, Gabba gabba gabba ya ba da ba doo !!! yeah i'm back on the blogosphere :D
ReplyDeleteOooooh it's so adorable to take times and to try to explain to the hard head i am, but really their music only depressed me. I'm sorry :)))
Howdy mon cherie, glad you're back, loved the shot of you and le Petit Pony . . . regarding the Ramones, I'll just have to forgive your inability to embrace the delights of da bruddas from Queens, as for me, a lifelong, huge fan . . . hey ho, let's go !!! XX
