Since The Stranglers have had some mentions, I need to point out that Jean-Jacques Burnel has aged like fine wine ![Drooling face :drooling_face: 🤤](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f924.png)

Wish I didn’t know that.Let's not forget one of my favourite bands Steely Dan.
Named after a "revolutionary" steam-powered dildo mentioned in the William S. Burroughs novel Naked Lunch
He has indeed aged well but when your ingredients looked like this in the first place that’s to be hoped for!Since The Stranglers have had some mentions, I need to point out that Jean-Jacques Burnel has aged like fine wine![]()

Speaking of, I just found out yesterday what Spandau Ballet means. Here is a link for those who don't know and it's fair to say, I don't think they would be allowed to call themselves that if they were a new band nowadays.

Spandau Ballet's name has morbid hidden meaning relating to dying Nazis
Spandau Ballet got their name from some graffiti written on a toilet wall in Berlin - and there are two possible meanings behind the title which are both as equally grim as each otherwww.mirror.co.uk
But Spandau were named in 1979 and Hess died in 1987 so how could the graffiti have been about his death?wow I knew about Spandau and Hess because i lived in Berlin at the time he was in prison there . in fact used to go to the library in that complex but never knew the Ballet part.. probs because I left before his demise..
He attempted suicide many times during his time in prison so it may have been a reference to his earlier attempts rather than his final, successful bid.But Spandau were named in 1979 and Hess died in 1987 so how could the graffiti have been about his death?

One of my relatives is a professional photographer and went to his house to do photos for a magazine and apparently he was lovely and down to earth. Lukewarm tea...Tony Hadley came into my restaurant once, it was years ago, he’d recently been on “I’m a celebrity” so was fairly fresh in my memory, he walked through the door and I thought to myself “Jesus Christ, that bloke looks like Tony Hadley” he walked straight up to me with a huge smile and really strong London accent “alwight Luv, I’ve got a table booked under Hadley”
Me: ok then………
Anyway, he was absolutely lovely, lots of the older lady punters recognised him and he signed autographs and posed for photos happily. Just a genuinely bloody nice bloke
Even more lukewarm tea: Tony Hadley once helped a friend’s elderly relative get their suitcase off the conveyor belt at Palma airport.One of my relatives is a professional photographer and went to his house to do photos for a magazine and apparently he was lovely and down to earth. Lukewarm tea...
Sadie Frost was married to Gary Kemp. I don’t remember her being in a relationship with TonyApparently Tony Hadley literally kicked Sadie Frost up the arse when she told him she was leaving him.
I think I read that on here![]()
Agreed… Met Tony Hadley twice.. the nicest of men.,Tony Hadley came into my restaurant once, it was years ago, he’d recently been on “I’m a celebrity” so was fairly fresh in my memory, he walked through the door and I thought to myself “Jesus Christ, that bloke looks like Tony Hadley” he walked straight up to me with a huge smile and really strong London accent “alwight Luv, I’ve got a table booked under Hadley”

Not gonna lie, I'm kinda disappointed she did this.All the stills they have of Nicola Coughlan kissing or doing her sex scene they have paused when she’s giving a really awkward face.
Oh why?Not gonna lie, I'm kinda disappointed she did this.
I dunno, I think because I always feel nudity for the sake of nudity is just so overdone now and just exists to get attention and viewers. It rarely adds anything to the story.Oh why?
I also met her at a British awards ceremony around 2008/9 in the intervals people went outside for air or cigs. She was very pleasant but smoked incessantly, she seemed to need cigs to calm her nerves. I noticed her skin was quite finely lined which is well camouflaged on TV. Ditto Kevin Bishop, he lit one cig after another. I've met Bobby Davro too. He seemed ok, a little 'dont you know who I am' vibe but fine otherwise. I just made out I didn't know who he was. His dad owned a discount store, plastic homewares etc, near my old house & my dad knew him from years back, through athletics I think.I met Tamzin Outhwaite at the bar at the opening night of a club at the Sanderson Hotel (Bungalow? details hazy - this was a long time ago) and started chatting with what I thought was someone I vaguely knew. She was very good looking and an all round lovely, friendly woman. She was ordering a Long Island Ice Tea and was already quite squiffy (as was I) I only realised as I went back to my friends that it was Mel from EastEnders...she seemed like a real laugh, a nice genuine person.
