Half way through a holiday so squabbling about sit that does not matter.

So, at what age do you become middle age, and then at what age do you become old age ?

Not looking for any legal definition just at what age does someone become an old cunt ? 
 

I think the answer differs based on your own age

When I was at school, in the fifth year, we had to organise the Pensioners Christmas Party. Traditionally, it was the old war time songs. 
We decided to bring it up to date with a combination of old and new. The highlight of the new was Ernie Heap giving a drum solo on his full set of percussion hardware. They loved it. 1970. 😊

I learned a long time ago. Music snobbery is the worst kind of snobbery. 
Enjoy whatever you like. 
As long as it’s Soul!
Keep the Faith! 😉

We are going into areas that could cause  problems here. 😉
Wigan Casino was the end of underground phase of the  ‘scene’
Wigan commercialised what was previously an underground Soul Movement. It Started at the Twisted Wheel and spread around other Soul Venues around the north and the midlands. (Golden Torch , Tunstall)

VA VA in Bolton, preceded Wigan. Richard Searling did Bolton before Wigan. It’s always been the way. 😊😉

That's dug up some memories...I was never"hard core" but always enjoyed a good night out and the Va Va was on the radar.

I think Richard Searling lived near us in Tonge Fold, Tomlin Square?

We were probably acquaintances....scary..

I'll accept Quo hatred as they are basic as it comes even if I love it. But Queen slander is unacceptable!

don't like Queen, in fact most of what they did winds me up a bit.

But "never written a good song" is different level bollocks, even for this side of the forum.

Saw Queen at Preston Guild Hall back in the day... there is a theory they named the band after playing at an open air do in Queens Park as "Ibis".

Also still got a ticket stub from the Free Trade Hall... Deep Purple Front Stalls 37.5 pence (7/6d)

Nah. Can't stand them, his voice, that guitar sound.

For me, just dreadful.

 

Added a bit Primus to my play list recently.

Les Claypool is a fuckin genius. 

Missed them the first time round.

Never to old to start an old band.

I’m retiring when my missus tells me to. She’s got it all worked out, spreadsheets and all that shit with cars and a camper van all factored in. 
 

Couple of years she reckons. Seems too soon to me but she’s got a fucking ridiculous pension so I’ll bow to her greater knowledge. 
 

Like you said life is too short. 
 

As a cleverer man than me once said work pays my way but it corrodes my soul. Fuck that. 

get it done, you won' regret it, you've earned it

So with the amount of old fuckers on here I reckon I could make a killing on a private BWFC nursing home.
