I wonder why no-one fancied Ringo.

Don't know if you watch TV Margaret but there were two programmes about George on BBC2 this weekend just gone.

John was just too........I don't know, clever..sure of himself.
Anyway it is all academic now.......John is no more(sadly) and I wouldn't warrant a second glance from Paul.(boo hoo....well,no he has uglified a bit as he has got older...but then haven't we all?)

Neither John nor Paul turned me on ... Now, Cilla Black and Dusty Springfield

Come on Eric, of course you're a dreamy-eyed poet - you can tell that just by loooking at your profile picture...

Nothing wrong with being an idle Romantic...

And Eric, it would be more in keeping for you to have a 'thing' for Cilla or Dusty.

Think it wasthe glasses what did it...

Never went for the baby faced look ... and boy has he ever uglified as you put it. Perhaps just as well John's dead, he might have too.

Margaret Pilkington · 15-11-2011, 21:40

Yes,he might...and wouldn't that have been a disappointment?
Anyway Paul has a new lady in his life now. She can have him. I'd rather keep a parrot!

'Ere, you pair pack it in, it's happy memories not unrequited fantasies.

Although not Accy (as I'm a Liverpool Lad) Sundays off out with the family & hounds at Formby beach or Delamere forest in all kinds of weather & seasons.

Nipping off to the cut despite being warned off not to go in

(then going swimming

wouldn't even dream of doing it now)

Dusty was a dyke, am getting worried about eric,

i was aware of that on a trip to London wi St Johns School when i was 11. that trip was a very happy childhood memory, but probably not one fer this forum.

I didn't know that for a long time...Cashy you must have been what they called 'forrards'.
Anyway, it was only a girlish dream on my part...though I did once send him a birthday card...we have the same birthday(he is just a bit older than me though). I didn't bother the year after......he didn't send me one back

son, they were happy memories.

Remember one snowy afternoon, I'd be about 9, going with my dad from our home in Rishton - up Close Brow, past Star Delph to the New Inns Pub. My dad knew the landlord there as he collected the rates from them. The pub was closed, but we were invited into the kitchen to sit by a log fire and given crumpets to eat. Mum shouted at us when we got back as it was dark - think it was before the war ended as my Dad had his A.R.P. torch with him with a shade on it, as you weren't allowed to show lights.
