You may not know this about me but...

A space to inform your team mates of an unusual talent or a celebrity connection or anything in fact that does not involve an erg.

For example, when the first Harry Potter film was made, the studio (WB) had made just 50 copies of a Golden Snitch. I happen to own one of those with a nice certificate signed by cast and crew.

Talents, sadly lacking.

True, I have only the word of an organisation which does not think twice about twisting the facts of history.

Equally though I've not seen one for sale anywhere including flea bay

I used to forge the signatures of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich for their German fans and helped translate their letters for the Group's secretary.

For those who have never heard of them they were a Salisbury based group who had such wonderful songs as The legend of Xanadu, Hold TIght, Bend it ( I never said it, I am only reporting it :oops: ), Touch me touch me, Zabadak

"Bend It!" was a big hit in Europe, including a Number One in Germany.

Between 1965 and 1969, the group spent more weeks in the UK Singles Chart than The Beatles and made tours to Australia and New Zealand, where they were also had chart success during this period, as well as Europe.

I also was given a pair of Tich's RED trousers at a Walker Brothers, Troggs and Dave Dee etc concert backstage at the Winter gardens Bournemouth, they were kind of sprayed on -I was a LOT skinnier in those days and only 15 !
