Reading about the possible transfer of Jordan Holsgrove had me wondering whether he is related to John Holsgrove who played for Palace and Wolves in my youth. Without thinking about it too much, I assumed it’s his dad. Then, I discover it’s his grandad - obviously! You know you’re getting old when…

The mention of the name Bindon transports me back 30 odd years to the gangster who had a very 'colourful ' short life.
He mixed with the Krays, Richardsons and high society alike. He shacked up with socialite Vicki Hodge, had access to Princess Margaret on Mystique, made films, wrote books, you name it.

I was reminded the other day that the huge Mt. St. Helens eruption was in 1980, can't believe it was that long ago.1

The last one was 2008 which was big enough to halt flights for days and probably confuses the timeline memories of it. The bank I was working for had a guy stuck on holiday in Vegas and couldn’t get back to work - if Carlsberg did volcanic eruptions….

Watch out James Bond, she’s got your number.1 -

most of those would have fallen into obscurity on the day they were realeased and you never would have heard them. Some would have done far better than they should have, such were the times, and some would go on to be all time classics
