USA Tour 1985 on eBay

Have a look at this!

I wonder who's selling it? Although the user name might be a clue

Sadly, I've just binned mine as the elbows were wearing a bit thin!

Do you know him TS? Is it his own jacket? No bidders yet ....could be a good purchase for the museum??

He's ex-RMB and I do know him, as does a few others!

I have heard back from the seller and he has enlisted on the forum, but not posted yet.

Here's a piccy of the infamous jackets in all their glory!

Vic Faulkner?......I`ll leave the rest for someone else....be quick though ...Botty is due back soon

Does that garden centre (that has a problem with its spell-checker) sell ride-on lawn mowers? I think I'm gonna need one soon.

Perhaps you can pick one up whilst you're there young Billy - the exchange rate is very favourable at the mo.

BTW, I know all the names but refuse to do a Botty!!!!!

ANDY... Please stop interupting the Horn section when they're having their own little reunion...It's really bad manners, and they'll teach you new words most unbecoming of an honourable Bassist....

Thank you Rab and if he does it again......give him a slap!

Well, it is my job after all....
Ginge Smith, Paul Weston, Mac McGregor, Jon Yates, Vic, Neil Boxall, Billy, Doug Graham and Kev Kay (rip)
MrJpig

Sorry to burst your bubble BB...that`s MARTIN Graham
Hornblower

Well done Botty.

I have to confess that I was lying and got caught at it too, by Andy.

I dunno how you do it, I really don't...
bootybandy

That was one of the three names that went through my mind. The other being Bob (Calm down GF) I stand corrected.
Hornblower

I still think it IS Bob Graham actually - but what do I know?
