if not simon, ive just watched genesis perform their seminal hippy, prog rock sonnet, 'follow you , follow me' on you tube.
phill collins had a fetching referees top on circa jack taylor @1974 .. phil also had a neat percussive tambourine which really set the cat among the old grey whistle test pigeons. thanks son,
dad

For the short time we met, i felt quite fatherly towards you. Can i have a season ticket too?
Incidentally, i found my present the other day, and yes, it's a mug.
you need to provide me with years of suffering to qualify, i suspect that if you start now i might chip in for a half time bovril (bring your mug) by 2021!

i rang my old man up this morning and said do you want to pop over for a Bit if dinner and a pint on fathers day..
unfortunatley he had a pressing engagement with a character called the 'great raymondo' ( a 50 something newham data input council worker with brain damage) in the boozer he goes to every fackin day..
'the great raymondo' he looks like 'mongo' in 'blazing saddles', he has the heart of a generous god but just talks about west ham, the price of a pint , and the bands 'queen'. 'thin lizzy' and 'u2'..the edge being 'raymondos' personal favourite .
hes got tattos up his neck and forearms which seen to come alive over his collar and under his cuffs like the tenticles of a triffid.
he got thrown thru a windscreen when he was 18 and has got brain damage , but you wouldnt notice that in the duke of endinburgh, east ham..he fits in really well with the other pringle wearing 50 an 60 something geezers with their ben grimm 'thing' chunky hands .
his got the personality of a fuking knuckle.
everytime i seem him he keeps giving me cd's , posters , and dixy fried chicken..
in fact , now i think of it my old man , being the slippery cnt he truely is , has been going to the boozer everyday since 1972 , so i just dont think he could be fackin well arsed to come over .
he made me laugh last year when he said he wasnt going to buy xmas present for everyone , as its' too commercial and its just for the kids' , the fact he hasnt bought a present since the late seventies for anyone in the known cosmos as it gets in the way of his drinking is merely an oversight.
happy fukin fathers day, east ham dave !!

This will be my first and actually going to be 3500 miles away and will spend most of the day landing, waiting at the carousel, going through customs, probably getting delayed while they try and fleece me, getting picked up then finally arriving where we are staying. I'll just be grateful for a rest but after some 7 hours flying with an 8 month old it's going to be an exhausting day.

My Dad used to say" Its just a day for Clinton Cards to make some money , dont waste yours" .
I have carried that on with my boys . I will get text messages although at least one out of the three will forget .
A lot of these occasions were created especially to sell stuff. At work we call them "Hallmark Holidays". Valentines, Mothers Day, Fathers Day and so on.
Although started around 1909/10, I think Clinton really got it going with Fathers Day so they could sell cards and ties.
I think some of them started with the best of intentions but, of course, other companies jumped on the bandwagon and take the opportunity to sell a myriad of products, usually at hiked up prices.
