Playing out with the 49ers and Don't You Love Me?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Nov 16, 2020 7:28 pm

I do not know these people or their record.

It's another dance

one.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Nov 16, 2020 7:30 pm

It is over.

That was a decent episode but with no real highlights.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

That's a picture I took on my visit, and posted on a flickr account I'd forgotten all about for the last 13 years.

I have to agree. New Kids on the Block's slow songs are horrendous.

And just up the road from Brocton, at Milford Common (which also adjoins Cannock Chase), is the dinkiest little retro Wimpy roadside kiosk, still in operation. I've been there a few times. happy

Also nearby is Shugborough Hall, home of Lord Lichfield. I went there on one of my first primary school trips. happy

You do. Their last song was in the charts recently, Touch Me, which featured the "singer" awkwardly miming to an Aretha Franklin sample.

Except for Love Shack. Excited

Have you watched the other one that went out on the same day? Excited

That's the same day it was repeated on BBC 4, not the same day back in 1990, blah blah

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Nov 16, 2020 10:58 pm

I haven't yet.

Yes, I walked along the bridleway past it. It supposedly figures in Tolkien's early work as 'the House of a Hundred Chimneys' as he would have walked past it on his way from Brocton Camp, where he was stationed in WW1, to Great Haywood where his fiance lived.

I must say I wasn't struck by anything unusual about the chimneys of Shugborough, I think the HoHC may have been a different house in Great Haywood itself gossip

I didn't know about the Tolkien connection - with that area at all.

Ohh. I know all of them, but didn't know they were Stafford-related.

Now to catch up with the episode from March 22nd 1990.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Nov 18, 2020 9:44 pm
