      Last time this sort of thing happened we'd been to see Eddy and the Hotrods on their "Done Everything I Wanna Do" tour.........

      Actually - I now I think about it Andy Scott should be a little worried, cos we saw him a few months ago with his incarnation of (The) Sweet...

      Unfortunately:
      a) He is the only left
      b) He is also suffering with (fairly advanced) cancer

      Sorry to be so depressing... but on this thread it's not exactly going to be joyful I guess

              No. I haven't read it either, or "The Indian in the Cupboard" for that matter.
