Slowly, slowly, the weekend is coming...
We have some jolly japes to look forward to, as tomorrow we're off en famille to leafy Fulham for a barbecue day at our chums Jim & Jude's place.
Meanwhile - it's time to get the party started!
Sharing the day with another ill-assorted slew of names, including the notorious Richard III, Mahatma Gandhi, Groucho Marx, Graham Greene, Donna Karan, Rex Reed, Bud Abbott, Annie Leibovitz, Sting (who is 75 years old!), Don McLean, Anna Ford, Trevor Brooking, Mike Rutherford, Tiffany (who's 55), Robbie Nevil, and - ummm - Badly Drawn Boy...
...it's Phil Oakey of The Human League's birthday! [He's 71...]
You might argue that this is an unusual choice for my traditional end-of-week dance slot, but I used to dance my tits off to it when I was a young aspiring New Romantic - so let's Thank Disco Synthesizers It's Friday!
Have a great weekend, dear reader!
Another long week!!!! Thanks heavens it just about over. And I have a half day Monday...so no need to arise at an ungodly hour!
ReplyDeleteThank heavens for weekends! And the weather's still nice and warm (despite the evenings creeping in), so plenty to enjoy. Jx
DeleteI sure hope not, but I noticed a lag time again by a few hours with the reader...those bastards.
DeleteI've not noticed a lag - you do need to refresh the screen a few times, however. Jx
Delete"What is a weekend?"

I saw the title and couldn't remember the song, but as soon as the clip started, it came rushing back to me in all its tits danced off glory.
ReplyDeleteGlad to be of service, Mr Peenee, even if it has dredged up memories from (gulp) 46 years ago! Jx
DeleteI thought Phil was gorgeous back in the day! I think this a proper dance tune!!
ReplyDeleteSx
To my eye, more "striking" than "gorgeous", but regardlessm we are all agreed - we could and did dance our tits off to Empire State Human! Jx
DeleteI remember the 80’s, when many club goers were coked out of their minds !
ReplyDeleteSnork awaaaay !!!

I wasn't. I just danced anyway! Jx
DeleteFab, I love it
ReplyDeleteImagine going to a birthday tea party with Mahatma Gandhi, Groucho Marx, Graham Greene, and Bud Abbott,
Just nobody invite Tiffany. She'll be wearing a stupid cardigan that sheds everywhere, and hoover up the buffet. Jx
