I am currently wondering what type of hats would go with the jacket?
I like the jackets:)

Space Man Helmet is for the one with the long-blond-hair to match the other two 🙂

Yes that will do nicely.

Actually the hairstyle for the girl on the left could be Helen Shapiro circa 1962.

The jackets do help with that ‘escaped from the insane asylum’ look.

The set of the paisley dress nicely don’t they.

Yes, perhaps they are the psych nurses uniforms?

Don’t the jackets do up at the back?

There should also be some straps for the arms.

Alge, I thought that only the patients’ straight jackets were tied at the back… 🙂

Well they could all be in straight jackets?

What straps, Big M?

Perhaps something to keep them in order.

This sort of thing does it for me – watching and listening. Saw Peter live in concert in Melbourne, 1980 I think it was – I bought a new slinky red dress for the occasion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=592MkMV-Uog

I’ve no idea Helvi, I just look for things to attach to my lists and with best of’s I look for album covers like these. I could have recycled some like Joyce, country choice, Svetlana Gruebbersolvik or Wally Whyton but thought something new would be better.
There are some really “top quality” covers out there.

Big line-up, algy. I like the look of the choices. I am mesmerised with a programme on teev about moving a howitzer into a Dutch railway museum … filling in time before the Tattoo. Time difference from you, Gez. All very military. Cheers for you, algy & all you do here with 4/4 time that is not miltary & rocks. Three cheers for all of us.

Those precision marching girls from NZ were good. I noted the kiwi band did a haka, Thanks for your comments shoe.
LikeLike
algy, the Lochiel Marching team I took it they were and I liked their smart excellence. The haka provides a challenge, algy. 🙂
I managed a few photos of the screen for a project and among them not used elsewhere was one of a line-up of some of the Lochiel team.

Geez, you’re a brave woman, ‘Shoe. I canna stand the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. I’m against tattoos in general. In fact, I’m extremely glad that both of the Emmlets have shunned getting a tattoo. I firmly believe that these things are done in a moment of weakness and regretted forever after.
LikeLike
That would be terrible really…to think they could be known as the Tattooed Emmlets. Geez.

There a permanent thing, can’t work out why anyone would get them. None of mine do. Though one girl in the Elders netball team does and the team thinks ooh isn’t that nice. The coach and I think ooh isn’t that permanent. I wonder if in 10 years time she’ll regret it.

Just watching the Edinburgh Tattoo. Not rocking as yet, not like Algy’s collexctions ;). Even so, respite from too much food and drink. A nice easy evening blowing bagpipes. By the way, I know that in cricket they ‘test’ a lot but what’s up with the word Tattoo? How does the playing of drums, bagpipes and horns etc. connect to the word ‘tattoo’?
LikeLike
Quite different tonight, thought they could do with the Mongolian throat singers and not enough guitars for the Mariachi’s band for mine.

I thought it was the best Military Tattoo I have seen, the Scottish girls, all the New Zealanders , the Mongolians, the singers, I thoroughly enjoyed myself…

We enjoyed it, quite a different tattoo to the norm.

Well this list was prepared from all the other lists this year with those commented upon included. This is the first of the series that will be rolled out over January. I should be able to get some sort of a theme up for each list.

Can’t fault anything here Algy, great list. Will go through it over the next few days. Have my son here from Melbourne. 🙂

Why thank you. My son went to Melbourne for a week before Christmas. Happy with the Cricket HOO?
LikeLike
Yeah, nothing better than seeing the Poms lose. Would like to have won day 5 though. Lets hope Clarke doesn’t have another brain fade and send them in. And how was Julie over at the Drum on the cricket article trying to bring in how England’s economy is on the way up etc, pathetic. Anyway enjoy the SCG, will be watching.
LikeLike
A classic brain fart wasn’t it from our economic reffo. I see others who tried to link politics to cricket got short shrift.
I’ll be enjoying it with Junior, and yes If he were to win the toss in Sydney it would be madness to send the poms in. Anything over a handful of runs; certainly not 230 is difficult at the SCG.

The Chain Gang for me. Reminds me of Roger’s Chains factory somewhere near Lidcombe on Silverwater Road, where I worked around 1956. The workers used to buy a pie and sometimes just took a couple of bites and chuck it on the floor. I was amazed at the luxury of it all.
LikeLike
So Gez, you were in Silverwater in 1956? 🙂
LikeLike
Was Silverwater there in 1956?
Why did they throw the pies on the fallor?
LikeLike
They just wanted me to clean up. I was the factory cleaner and sweeper. The pies were nothing special for Australians but for the hordes of hungry Europeans, a pie was an unheard of luxury.

Yes Hung; things were tough in those days. The bumper Farrell wagon picked me up. I got a short stint on an unproven something with a donkey. (3 months without parole.) I shared a cell with someone who used to fart while he was reading ‘War and Peace’ and used the book pages for extra toilet paper. We were only allowed 4 sheets per day. He was in for a similar (unproven) offence with a Leghorn chicken. He would be an old man now. I wonder if he gave his habit with the Leghorns away?

I’d like to reply but I can’t stop laughing 🙂 🙂

The bloke I shared the cell with told me his wife found out when every-now-and- then he would come home with some white feathers on him. She forgave him and visited him every Sunday and took him some old ‘Poultry’ mags. A good woman.
