Oh dear, I feel very old.
When I saw this, I thought of Terry Hall that used to have Lenny the Lion!
I will go and listen to The Specials to see if I remember them.
Anyway, R.I.P Terry Hall, only young really.

[gness]

Wasn’t going to admit it til you did, Barsel but so did I. :-)

That Terry Hall must be about a hundred now.

[Barsel]

Well yes, if he was still alive. When I read this I just thought, I'm sure he had already died.

[Barsel]

I think we better run away Gness as Tony is probably ready to chase us.

[Barsel]

He died in 2007 at age 80yrs.

I was worse than that, I read it as Jerry Hall!

[Barsel]

I remember that one Arky. Were they a bit like Madness?

[JimF]

The Specials / The Special AKA were in the vanguard of the ska revival. They weren't really like anybody else. Neither were Madness. Both were brilliant bands.

[Arksided]

I was only nine at the time heard that and thought how bizarre and interesting obviously brought up and into Queen but it were so different like Madness.

[royfromaus]

The Selecter were quite similar.

[gness]

Barsel, Ellie and I should just go and sit quietly in a corner. Now Dave is laughing at me because I’m looking for my old autograph book which Lenny the Lion signed. He asked if I was aware that Lenny was just a puppet with a man’s arm up it’s………. :-(

[Arksided]

What! is SD saying Lenny wasn't real.

[Barsel]

With his hand up his B *** l?
