Re: Sex 'n' Drugs 'n' Rock'n'Roll Part 1: Substance Abuse

Big drugs bust in 1987 or 1988 with a load of people expelled. It was followed by the whole senior school having to sit through David Kossoffs anti drugs one man show about how his son became a smack addict when he was in Free and then dying of an overdose. All it seemed to do was sell a lot of Paul...

Re: Which scarf do you like best?

Wool, every time. I seem to remember we tied knots in the end of wool scarves in order to weigh them down a bit so they wouldn't blow off you in the wind.

Reference adlops' A-Z can I offer a new one? M Music. A work containing sounds and melodies in a pleasing and meaningful combination, and which excludes all other forms defined in this Glossary.
