I used to work in Chepstow.

Not that you care.

Of course I care. Or at least can make a convincing stab at making you believe I care.

Odo's parents live in Mathern, just outside Chepstow and her father is a keen local historian. So I've been bombarded with factual 'necessities' for inclusion in the Entry.

Do with this what you will, but according to the trivia Q and A on the inside of a XXXX cap, golf has been an olympic event twice. I can send you the cap if you wish.

And if my trivia is right, (the mighty) England are reigning Olympic Champs at cricket. Better they don't revive it.

Golf has indeed been an Olympic event twice, although the second time was a bit of a farce because only one golf team turned up. It'll make for a cracking Entry when I get around to writing it.

King of the Kerb - Echobelly
Temple of Love - Sisters of Mercy
Big Muff - John Martyn
almost anything by James (they rarely miss)
This is Not the Way Home - Cruel Sea (not sure about name of this song)
Headstrong - 10,000 Maniacs
Mother Nature's Kitchen - Kevin McDermott Orchestra
Honky Tonk Woman - Stones
Angel (?) - Bowie
There Ain't No Sanity Clause - The Damned

I worked for a farmer, just outside of Chepstow. Mind, that was in the summer of '76 and it was the Cheptsow in Ontario, Canada.

And oddly and coincidentally, less than 3 days ago, I referred Amy P to the full lyrics of "Alice's Restaurant".

Actually, the 'Chepstow' bit of it has been discussed before, with a certain special Lady you know well. smiley - winkeye

I'll leave your thread now. Ciao, mate.

It was mentioned a year or more ago with a particular bell-ringer. Clearer? smiley - smiley

Seems remiss that I never put Sweet Home Alabama in that list. Could have inspired one of Madonna's ... the one with the cowboy video.
