Love to know where it is now, can imagine someone at the council saying years ago we'll keep hold of this will be worth millions when old Rolf croaks it lol

Ah Ah, Rolf Harris, I always get mixed up with them old TV stars. I remember bumping into jimmy saville before he died in M&S in Eastleigh before he died and I'd got mixed up again, I asked him if he was the one who'd done the two little boys but he swore it was rolf harris.

When you used to have to tie knots in your 'jamas, make a float and dive for a big block of hash just for your bronze medal......

 

Them were the days.

Going off the top splash at Sheaf was a rite of passage into being a big boy ..as surely has drinking..smoking and "doing it".

"...av a look at im..he goes offa top splash...."

he didn't write it.  I think it is the oldest song to ever make number one.  Written about 1900 I think, possibly about the American civil war or the first Boer war, can't remember. Wonderful song though about comradeship and love for ones friends.

American civil.

I honestly thought that was a photoshopped image for the minute and was trying to figure out the joke until I realised that it’s just your normal everyday family snap.
