Mneme, yes true, but it seems so like yesterday!

Hi Tony

only a blink, maybe, but a rather long one :)

Hi Mneme - yes, but what is 30 years? Only a blink!

I associate that time with scoffing this enormous piece of rock I bought while on holiday that year - a particularly unsunny summer, rather like this one!

Tony

Wow, this takes me back. I was a newly-wed in our first home; my brother was working in the area and staying with us. Was it really so long ago?

Thanks Notty - hope you do manage to read 'em - they'll make you weep.

Most excellent effort, sir.

I'm grateful we don't bump heads on the same topic very often.  You put my mere listing of song titles to shame, sir.  I scanned over several of your other recent bits that I'd missed due to all my recent computer troubles.  Liked all the alien stuff, including the lead-in and lead-out.  I'm looking forward to a more leisurely ready of them, and the rest, over the weekend.

Tony, that's a great one devoted and dedicated to the dear Old Elvis

Yes, Proc - I wondered about that line but in the end I went with it.

It's quite funny I think - not meant to be serious. Blimey, whata lot of connections you know of with this date.

Hey, my first crush was on Elvis and Danny Kaye (joint position) I was a

weird child with access to shockingly bad tv.  No contemporary movies in my childhood, just old classics. 

My sister's getting married in Vegas Sept 10th.  I can't go, no bobs.

Hmmmm,line ten is rather dodgy sir. you meant to play on the words didnt

you?  Ive always thought the 16th August is significant for 4 reasons,Maddona and my daughter were born,Elvis died and two years ago a friend's teenage son committed suicide....
