Just so a friend of mine doesnt just fall through the gaps of recognition.
Frank E.Torpey, went to sleep Saturday evening with his family present.
Frank was an 'aquantance' on Facebook, but we never met, merely chatted, but got on well.
One of Frank's best memories was watching Buddy Holly on stage at the Kilburn Empire. And something from that gig stuck with Frank, for he decided music was his future.
Frank became the co-founder of 'The Sweet'!
R.I.P. mate , the last original member passes to that great gig in the sky.
while i inow you shouldnt wish ill on others, i hope to god the 365 boys get relegated! round here, they think they have a divine right to be near the top, if not the top of the Premiership, and the amount of 'dark' money that goes into that club must be scary.
Many years back, Rangers had a pre season friendly against, of all bizarre choices, the Birminham City 'all stars'...... quite frankly i never recognised any on the YamYam's team.
However, my son wore both his Dennis the Menace shirt but swapped it after it got filled by players autographs. He then put on the fabled hoops, and got loads more, Macca's, Gallen's, etc etc, but we didnt know Stan was in the ground.
We Saw Stan signing autographs, finish and started to walk up to the tunnel. I called Stan, he came over and signed my son's shirt, and it was my only time i got that close to my idol. i was tongue tied.
So i have a load of pics i took on SAR, which are treasured. But time had addled my mind, and i've forgotten the date the match was on. Anyone there that can help?
Oh, and i wonder how much his shirt is worth now.... Macca, Stan, etc on it.
I managed to find the original paperwork and receipt for the shower door (purchased it 28 months ago), and found that the door had a 20 year warranty, and they are sending me a new one this week.
Same screw holes etc so willbe a doddle to fit. result.
