Along_the_Wire Fuck me, only found out just now. The older kids in our town all loved The Specials and so did we as a result. 60 fucking 3. Horrendous. I hope I don’t catch this “short illness” that seems to be killing quite a few people.

Smallman1 The Specials at Glastonbury was one of the best things I’ve ever seen. What a seminal band. RIP Terry Hall.
Millsy I didn’t realise he was abducted by a teacher at 12 years old, taken to France to be sexually abused for four days, and then punched in the face and dumped on the side of the road… And as for Hall etc.
Dubman Millsy I did hear about how he got abused when he was a child but didn’t know about the whole story. I’m 53 so I remember the whole two tone scene. I can remember wearing two tone trousers with loafers with a cardigan.
Smallman1 Dubman I can remember wearing two tone trousers with loafers with a cardigan. Still bang on trend in Haggerston tbf.
-si- Dubman I can remember wearing two tone trousers with loafers with a cardigan. Dermo bought that outfit for his son’s 13th birthday around the same time, dm. Great minds and all that…
Dubman Smallman1 Seriously. I much preferred the casual fashion that came in after. Although I couldn’t the expensive labels.
-si- Cankles-McJeggings My sons are 3 and 6, Si. Trying to split his age up with an “and” doesn’t wash with us, derm. 60 is the new 30, wear your age badge with pride, like you would a top quality time piece!
