| Hi Brian. I see you too were in the marines band for 11 years. Is that anything to do with a previous topic? I think Ffoglamp likes that one. |

Hi Brian.. Welcome to the madhouse..you were very fortunate to leave the mob in '66, as you just avoided me joining by 1 year..Don't feel old in here, as I have started re-growing head hair and break dancing since I joined.. I also find I'm invited to less Pensioners' parties and more raves...  Now would I tell a lie??? |

Since when did they start doing liquified/blended EKKIES, or do you get invited on the understanding that you wear THAT shirt so that everyone else thinks they are 'tripping'?? 
Welcome abroad Brian.

Hi Brian. Welcome to the site , and join in.
Unlike the others above, I am a mere sproglet, not joining up until 1974 !!!! Something to do with my youthfulness etc...
