A clear and dispassionate account of the times and any role the OP played in it would be informative. The apparent troll with a chip on their shoulder act serves no purpose and pretty much renders the thread pointless. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they’re real hair, it must’ve taken ages to find enough of that colour to make a full syrup, unless judicious amounts of peroxide was used on the standard colouration of said hair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly played it in our lounge, he was very talented (my parents’ friend, not Lou Macari). EDIT: That is not to say that LM wasn’t talented, I never met the man. I did meet Anthony on numerous occasions, however. Edited December 29, 2021 by ezbass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
