When me and Missis T started courting, we went to the welfare for a few sherbets. A guy on the stage got half a dozen of the birds in the crowd on the stage singing along to a song. The song "bright eyes" from watersship down. It was the first time I could remember my ears bleeding.

And also, for the second time, the folk / rock fiddler, Dave Swarbrick. His obituary was published in a national newspaper in 1999, but they were exaggerating. He was ill in Coventry at the time. He was quoted as saying that it wasn't the first time he'd died in Coventry.
