I was once mistaken for a Small Face in a riverside pub in Barnes many moons ago. It was the haircut. And the legs. Very short legs.

The Bulls Head?

Live music venue extraordinaire.
Was it on a lazy Sunday afternoon? smile
Quite possibly, but Whatcha Gonna Do About It...? hehe
I may give it my all or nothing.

If you want to fight over it, I'll see you in Itchycoo Park. punch

I can just picture such a situation In My Mind's Eye. The Afterglow of the event will be a joy to behold, but Happyness Stan says best watch out for Tin Soldiers hiding in the bushes.

Anyone for a snifter of Ogden's Nut Gone Flake...?

My cue for a spot of related trivia with an appropriate Pistonheads twist : Humble Pie's top roadie / tour geezer / bon viveur John Hammel owned a super dooper Wood & Pickett Mk2 Cooper S with all the bells and whistles you'd expect in a rock star's mode of transport, he'd ferry Steve Marriot around in it when wee Steve was too lubricated to drive himself, John later sold it Denny Laine when he was in Wings with Macca but bought it back again eight months later. It came up for sale at the NEC show last year... I based the look of my own Mk2 S on this car, albiet with fewer bells and whistles attached...




Bonus trivia : the first owner was the Duke Of Bedford, when John bought it he had it repainted puke inducing lime green before putting it back to dark blue again.

Out of stock Peri, sorry!

Er, chaps.... spot of bad news, it appears Battert has been messing about somewhat in the hanger with the old Lysander, I'm not entirely sure what he was going for with the aesthetics but this is what he finished up with...



(And no it's not photoshopped either! My pinterest feed throws up loads of WW1 / WW2 / Cold War stuff, it's utterly addictive)
