melancholy git

THURSDAY

>8-D

#5 it was

#10 I'm on a barren run myself. Well not strictly true. They've been played but other folk get the credit for them.

Watson, that cloud looks massive.

#10. I do hope they play Bargain Store...or anything by Jake Thackray...or Burlesque by Family...which I'm sure I bought in an Oxfam shop ;0)

Re: Photie

Is Sherlock trying to ignite his pipe wi' yon magnifying glass?

He should consult a matchmaker. After he's married, his wife will insist he gives up smoking.

Problem solved.









Pure elementary, by the way.

#14

Aw, thanks Julie!

Gotta go. There's something in my eye...........................

#15 My name is Julie from Edinburgh and I have been smoke-free for 12 days...and I am now even more grumpy than SG.

#17

Julie,

This time tomorrow I'll hit sixteen weeks. Hang tough, it's worth it.

P.S. Grumpy is good. Avoid sanctimony. No-one likes lectures from an ex-smoker.

Monday:

Anything by The Who

Preferably 'Baba O'Reilly'

Much better themes for this week by the way. Bryan is bhoona earn his bhaji of honour for this.

DC in Cellardyke

Tuesday

Behind Blues - Red Hot Chilli Peppers

#19

DC, you're not currying favour, perchance? ;-)

DC - Who Are You would be good as it is also theme for CSI.

Just checked in to see what's happening and haven't really thought about tracks for next week, but agree that It'th a Mythstery must be played - and besides MissBabs worried about me. Suddenly the sun is shining in my world. Roll on the weekend, last game of the season for the Locos. What am i going to do for the summer? I am being threatened by the two 'G's' of ageing, gardening and golf. Take me back to the days when a "mature woman" was in her late twenties, early thirties.

A good weekend to all.

TUESDAY

Need cheering up? Determined to begin the day in a positive frame of mind?

You need ABBA in the morning! In the shower, singalongaABBA!

Listening to ABBA in the morning is not yet compulsory; but it should be!!

#24

That's that bit near the end of Dante's Inferno, isn't it?

#24 Now Agnetha and Anni-Frid in their prime, in the shower, now that would be singalongaABBA.

Anni-Frid sings backing vocals on Adam Ants single Strip - great track.

#25

The Can Can? Nah! That was Suzi Quatro.......................

#26 Hoppo - what happened to self moderation??!!

#29

S'ok. It was a cold shower!

On more mundane subjects,for Monday how about

Madmac - how about this one!

False Evidence - Gregory Isaacs

DC in Cellardyke

#36

Yip... The Stranglers cover got me cryin' at their long suffering demise >8-(

Anybody reckon we could get to 200 posts on the blog BEFORE Monday???!!!

Looks like a popular theme, and we haven't started on Tuesday etc yet!

Have a good weekend

DC in (wet n windy) Cellardyke

DC is that 200 just me or collectively? ;o)

Actually it is a really good theme because once you clever people started on the clever suggestions it opens up your mind to lots of others.

You Aint seen Nothing Yet, Rankin etc etc

Never try lighting a pipe with a magnifying glass.

#49 - Wasn't trying to be clever Norrie. I always request You Aint Seen Nothing Yet when Vic Smash & Nicey is on.

Does anyone remember a Barron Knights type of record where various 70s TV detectives are impersonated? I remember McCloud, Frank Cannon, Kojak, Colombo and Steve McGarrett were done on it.

Adam - of course! Thats a double a side straight in at number one! Nice!

"Pass me the violin, Watson.
The Stones want me on Sister Morphine and Jim's busy."

#53 "As i fall to the floor Gimme more Gimme more".

#53

Elimentar, Watson!

Poliiiiiiiiiiiice release me, let me go.................

DC

I used to think Humperdink was a choice between two really brilliant things until I discovered Smirnoff.

Was there a Maggie Bell track as theme to Taggart or something like that?

#58

Yes, it's called No Mean City

#58, "No Mean City" Norrie, I remember being slightly disappointed by the single because it didn't sound exactly like the version from the show at the time (which I really liked).

#51. Adam

#60

Maggie moved to Holland for many years after recording both the single and the cut-down version for the TV show. Since then she has produced a couple of different versions but they are hard to find. I am hoping she will play live in Scotland soon as it would be good to hear her again. I do know she is back in the business and still has a superb voice.

Thanks guys - I do remember the song and it would be very fitting for the theme.

Julie did you actually remember that episode??

#63

You could also go for Hold Me - BA Robertson and Maggie Bell

after all - what do you do with the crims once you've caught them? ;-)

#64. Googles great innit...Midge Ure is so baby-faced too isn't he.

Oh Julie I've never used it!! Aye right!

Maggie Bell
Spooky..Half an hour ago I was listening to her belt out 'Wishing Well' with the Hamburg Blues Band,,,Nice .

#62 Jim etc, check this:



This is a wee Inn less than seven miles up the road from here and absolutely nothing around it other than fields. The guy who owns it has done a lot to promote music over the years, indeed the late great John Martyn had agreed to play at Lathones and then came the news of John's untimely departure.

I tried to get tickets for Maggie Bell(the audience is about forty or less!) but they had gone within seconds of going on sale.

Maggie performs still, but not in any Mean City!!

DC in Cellardyke

DC that place has pure hunners of outstanding gigs - I have been looking at its listings since the hotel which escapes me at the moment stopped but its just that wee bit further. My brother lives not that far away but.....nah! Glenfarg! Thats it Glenfarg Hotel.

#69. Has the venue taken over from The Bein Inn? Same acts. Nine Below Zero would be grrreat...next GIOgettogether?

Beinn Inn thats it......its late. Well done Julie. Saw a few people there Rod Picott was particularly memorable.

#69 Dunfermline, ah kain

#70. I hadn't even seen that post when I wrote mine...snap!

#73... where?????

That's near your side o' the country?

The whole Inn at Lathones is so small that you could fit it inside the front foyer of the SECC. And as I said, there's nothing there other than an Inn.

Glenfarg has a similar reputation. My brother went to see Nazareth there & booked in for the night. It ended up my bro & Dan McCafferty in the bar chewing the fat until 6 am. I'm really jelous caws I was the Nazareth fan in the family!!!

Lathones could be a good idea for a GIO get together but there's a wee bit walk to the next campsite!

DC

I worked with Dan's sister in law and have also met the Band, so what!

WOW!!!!

;-)

DC

What was Robbie Robertson like?

Nah Glen you would not want to meet him he is crazy. I saw him somewhere down by the white cart.

#77

Knew you'd be impressed, GTG

#80 Still can't beliieve it....

;-)

DC

#78

Dunno? Jaime

BCNU

Another one for monday in honour of the greatest detective who ever lived

Just one more thing....Sarah Groves

why is it detectives in hollywood movies can only solve murders when they've been taken off the case or suspended from duty?

#81

Not every Fifer keeps to the Kingdom... some have the inclination & or temerity to leave during their life time.

#84 it is because they are not bogged down with filing paperwork you see. Oh and they can bend the rules break in to places, drink whisky from a bottle in a brown paper bag, have bruce blasting from the stereo. And have girls ~ Hoppo will confirm the benefit of this last point.

But mostly the paperwork.

Mysteries:

'Sinking' by Alabama 3 mentions the Mary Celeste.

#86 Ah but they don't get to eat doughnuts on a stakeout.. How can they think straight without their doughnuts.

Someone once told me the best thing about working for the Polis is that the customer is always wrong.

There is a hole in your argument about the doughnuts but I just cant put my finger on it....

#83
yet another for the greatest detective who ever lived

An old raincoat won't ever let you down / Rod Stewart

#84 & #86, and why when they stp their big gas guzzlin cars, do the vehicles always take a wee lurch forward? (Someone will no doubt have a sensible answer...)

Unlike

#85 missin you already...

:-0

DC

Monday:

Watching the Detectives' - Elvis Costello

DC

#91
and when chasing criminals in their big gas guzzlers, do they get extra points for turning down a back alley and taking out a pile of cardboard boxes

#89

Not too good with women then... ;-)

Oh Jim! Tsk tsk!!

Best cop chase ever on foot. TJ Hooker giving a fit youth a hundred yards start and chasing him across roads over fences down embankments and across bridges and catching him without a hair on his toupe out of place. At least Frank Cannon had the good grace to mop his brow when he ran.

#93..... which had been chucked out of dodgy Italian bars, owned by small, balding, fat guys with moustaches, wearing white aprons and speaking loudly about mamma, whilst surrounded by their 'minders' toting Armani suits and Versace shades.

The good guys (who were really corrupt) dived over the bonnet of their cars (the hood if you're Rich in NC or Danielle in Canada) and into the car, as somneone sounded 'Dixie' on the horn, to be served a huge pepperoni pizza with fries and a side salad 'to go' by Daisy Duke in hotpants (cue Hoppo...) whilst Boss Hogg uttered 'Enos you dipstick!'

Jeez, my whole life just flashed before my eyes just now....

DC

Yes but Ironside would have sorted it without even having to leave his apartment!

#that's cos the lift was out of order

and that's 100 posts and it's not properly saturday yet so I'm off to bed.....gonna creep through the house without turning any lights on so that if there's any bad people I won't be able to see them.
