Rupert2251 Posted October 18, 2020 #276 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Never got to see any of the Glam Rock bands but (and I don't think I dare mention this) I did see The Bay City Rollers at the Victoria Hall in Hanley😁 Would loved to have seen Queen though or The Jam!

Son of Anarchy Posted October 18, 2020 #277 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Managed to see The Jam at Wembley on their final tour. Still knock around with one of my mates from that era. We still reckon its was one of the best gigs we saw. A couple of good bands that play stuff from that era play round our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare P&O SUE Posted October 18, 2020 #278 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Wow this thread has moved along since I last read it! Good to hear from Selbourne and Dai. @grapau27 I hope you get you eye sorted soon, sounds nasty. Also I had no idea there was a ‘rep’ list! My football forum has a similar style format to this and your ‘rep’ is displayed under all your posts! I did wonder where all the likes went on here 😁 Edited October 18, 2020 by P&O SUE 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adawn47 Posted October 18, 2020 #279 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Oh dear. I've just been reading those last posts and I suddenly feel very old😒. It's not that I don't remember or like T Rex, Mark Bolan and Slade et al, I do, but my youth was Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Swinging Blue Jeans and even Bill Hayley and the Comets. Good old Rock 'n Roll. 😁 Avril 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drsel Posted October 18, 2020 #280 Share Posted October 18, 2020 838Hi Graham, I am so sorry to hear about your eye and Pauline's loss I would like to know1. How does one find one's reputation on the tables out of 1.6 million CC members ? (like you found it was 838 for Purdey)2. Does a person's reputation increase by the number of likes or the number of quotes or both?3. How does one enhance one's reputation? Is it by helping others or giving advice/ opinions / information / personal experiences.?Or simply getting likes and/or quotes?Thanks in advance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I can beat that Rupert. Although my favourite live performer is Bruce Springsteen, about 15 years ago, I saw Steps at NEC (it was with a school trip I arranged due to popular demand). They actually were better than I expected but still not great. 🥴 Any remaining credibility I still had is now gone ☹️ Edited October 18, 2020 by pete14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old Rock 'n Roll. 😁 Avril Avril, I have been having the very same thoughts. I have also noticed that on the most recent P&O cruises the 50s and 60s rock and roll nights seem to have disappeared, to be replaced with 70s and 80s nights. The next stop will be adding them into the war time favourites nights along with Vera Lynn classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opera, jazz, R&B, country & western, Sinatra, good ol' Bing, and many, many more, and although I'm embarrassed to admit it, Jolson. 😳 Avril 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indiana123 Posted October 18, 2020 #288 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Hopefully we are going to a Queen Tribute Concert on Friday. Its in a hotel near Gatwick, its in a courtyard. We are not allowed out there but you have a "room with a view" and sing and dance out the window!!!! 🤣 Family members can book "a room with no view" but they can come into your room for the concert, if appropriate. My daughter and sil are joining us. Its very audience participation, so should be very funny looking in at all the windows with people jigging about. The free Prosecco might help. My daughter's outlaws have another room with a view with two other family members joining them. Hotel safety measures seem very good so hope all ok.

AndyMichelle Posted October 18, 2020 #297 Share Posted October 18, 2020 David Essex used to live next door to our Milkman in Padnall Road when he was still David Cook. How tenuous is that claim to fame.... 😊 Andy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Anarchy Posted October 18, 2020 #298 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Steve Larkins was great. Saw him a few times. Sadly I don't think he does PandO anymore. A few years back on Azura, we weren't brave enough to sit in the front row, so sat in the second. No one else was brave enough to sit in the front row either. He stepped over the seat in front and stood on the armrests of my chair. His belt buckle really does say Roger! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you find the first reputation page that I showed John how to find on here there are 24 names on the first page. You scroll to the bottom and press next for the next 24 names and keep doing that until you find your name. It is based on the number of likes/thanks/smiley's a person gets for their posts.
