They wore it well.

One of those 'On This Day' in history posts. Found via the ever wonderful Li'l Ze page over at TwiXXer . . .  see what I did there?

"8th May 1971, Celtic and Rangers draw 1:1 in the Scottish Cup final.  Replay needed"  . . . and it looks like an extra 100 polis cars needed for the spectators who imbibed a bit too much liquid refreshment. I wonder if my Dad was at the game?

And this guy was enjoying himself a bit too much, attempting the banana coloured trousered splits. Too many daiquiris, per chance?

Don't worry, dear reader, the good guys won the replay.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 18

A song from the year you were born.

Nice try, FBI. What next: a song with my social security numbers in the lyrics? Fuck it, you already know that I'm old, so I'll just 'fess up.

Love this song but not the radio version. If it doesn't have the 30-second solo guitar intro, I'll switch it off and find the album version and play it instead. More is more:

PS - Kara's friend? The person who I nicked this Song Challenge from? She named her eldest daughter after this song.

Maybe I'm amazed . . .

Second 180 in three days. I'm on schedule to be a wild card entry to the 2023 Indianapolis Darts Pub League.
