Fucking hell - I've woken up Mike and Bernie Winters with this post.
Anyway, a VERY SPECIAL and heartwarming thankyou to all the animals who got roped into the Trelawnyd flower show this year, including Betty the Cleavage.
I LOVED Top Cat ...... do you remember that the Beeb had to change the name to Boss Cat, as there was a brand of cat food out at the time called Top Cat ......not a lot of people know that. Love Ground Control. XXXX
I remember the cat food, but I don't remember the change of name, Jacqueline.
I am sure I met Bowie when I (and he) were kids. I was in a small park just outside Woking, and this slightly older boy turned up on a bicycle. I remember thinking that he was super-humanly cool, and all the girls were hanging around him. This kid said his name was 'David Bowie' and I had just seen the John Wayne 'Alamo' film where the inventor of the Bowie-knife pronounced his name as 'Booey'. I told the boy that he was pronouncing his own name wrong, and he said "I ought to know how it is pronounced - it's my name!" We never saw him again.
When he was good he was good... when he was bad he was shite.

Major Tom, a junkie? I just thought he was Top Cat's alter ego.
ReplyDeleteBlimey - I hadn't thought of Top Cat for many years. I used to like it as a kid. Can't think why.
ReplyDeleteTop Cat was seriously cool! Cooler than Bowie actually.
