Both the Young brothers were born in Scotland so I'm saying they are Scots. Arnold was having none of it...... He got quite upset tbh. Then I realised how big Arnold was. Still Scots thinking behind ACDC though 😜 20 minutes ago, Trip said: There's a name from the past. What became of AZ? I had a similar argument with him about the Youngs Scot background where AZ disputed accounts that amongst the reasons for their short stature was stunted growth from toxic materials they lived in on their Scottish council estates during formative years. My memories of Arnie will always be what an argumentative BM he could be but nevertheless a good BM imo and yes what a huge man. Shame he left the old Secrets board.

Shame he left the old Secrets board. Yes, one of my memories of his Secrets posts was how proud he was of his BMW, how he pampered it, and how technologically advanced they were. Then he lost his key fob and got charged something like $800 for a new one so he sold the car instead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Rod Stewart - Whole family lived 5 minutes walk from my home in Highgate Village, North London. I played several times in the same Sunday morning footy team run by his uncle and brother. I was still at school and relied on a lift to the ground. He turned up once in a Lamborghini Miura. Strictly speaking, he is English. Lulu and Maurice Gibbs were part of my newspaper round in Hampstead. If I had failed my 11+ I would have been at school with Ray and Dave Davies of the Kinks. 🤣 Sting and George Michael both lived in Highgate. They didn't drink in the Red Lion and Son or The Gatehouse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ever Scotland does leave the UK and Scottish passports are needed Rod Stewart won't be the only one who has to prove his case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie, my Grannie was born in Edinburgh which makes me enough of a plastic Scot to have played football for Scotland. As this born and bred cockney did not learn this fact until I was 37 years of age I never faced the difficult choice between offering my services to either England or Scotland. 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasseye Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 From my second hometown, Champaign/Urban Il. The sweetest female voice in the history of music. Also a great songwriter, muscian, performer, and Dog damn beautiful. Rarely is there a voice that can instantly tear at your heart as quickly as Allison.
