Dion Dublins dad was the drummer with Showaddywaddy. (I’ve known this for a long time, I didn’t just learn it today)

I play soccer with a first cousin of one of the members of Showaddywaddy

The shithole to end all shitholes. It’s the closest thing to the depressing, small-minded cesspits that litter England that we have here. A serious blight on the county.

It’s brilliant when a music snob is found to be an absolute bluffer on the topic. Tough lines @Fagan ODowd.

Dion Dublin is not the son of the drummer in Showaddywaddy, contrary to common belief.

No Balbec, not the suit, but I had the shoes. Black suede brothelcreepers that I wore with drainpipes and a Wrangler denim jacket.
