    I've been Money Tipped!
    Hi gorgeous. I have just been dancing to Santify Yourself with my 2 year old son in the lounge, music extremely high. I feel if someone would have witnessed this I maybe would have been detained under the mental health act :D


    But you feel great for it, don't you?

    I think that there is a huge swing from NO inhibitions to becoming over aware of them as you grow: I think this does happen a bit younger now , but maybe I just didn't notice so much when I was young, and have no way of knowing from before that! With adult maturity you reach some equilibrium ideally...not always though...hence some people are better public speakers/performers versus supporting artists or backstage/technicians.

    Early teens and you won't be seen out with your parents. Wherever. Just in case anyone thinks your a kid who either hasn't got friends or can't go out without supervision.

    Late teens and you are happy to go anywhere, as long as parents are paying.

    Should add, my nearly 10 year old is more than happy to go shopping with me. In fact she loves it. (I don't generally dance in shops..well, not unless the music's very good. :rolleyes:)

    So I'm wondering if we've managed to fast forward to Stage 3, already? ;)

    The whole ear :eek:?

    Apologies for not answering sooner. Thankfully the whole of the back of the ear, not the front, so not disfigured (unless my hair is scraped back you can't see the stitch marks). I needed two ops to get it right. Glad it wasn't the whole ear, wearing glasses would have been a b1tch otherwise.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    I do recall, LIR, that you and your good man are into a bit of music. I played loads in the 60`s, 70`s and 80`s, kind of slowing down since then but still do the odd gig. Think I am playing on Saturday.

    I was part of the London pub scene in the 80`s, that was good fun and played most of the popular venues. A few references on the internet regarding some of the things I was involved in.

    Dunno if you guys have seen the advert on Sky with the older guy with glasses who is a trumpet player.

    Believe it or not but he was leaving my secondary school as I was joining it. His Grand Pa, who was very old then, taught me to play the trombone. I then went on to piano , keyboards and organ. Totally mad on jazz organ. This is what I like to play.
