Joined the army in 67............out in 87.
Most of the things I saw I remember....including Lonnie Mack.
I'm refurbishing brain cells at the moment...trying to come up with an entertaining question.
Geez .....I can't beleive that the world isn't a Lonnie Mack fan.......
Working on it

If you don't mind Noel, while were waiting for your round I might just get in a small top up.
Name a famous 80's author's father. The author I'm taking about wrote a novel called Success and his dad is pretty well know as well.
Should make it hard to google.
Ok clue time. They're poms - both father and son are best selling authors.
It would be a bit amiss of me to make it too easy, so picture if you will a green man standing in the centre of a field in London surrounded by deceased babies.
Or a :roll: fan......:UQuote:

Technically speaking its still Watson's round but it may be a dry old argument:D
So Tex if you have a question that will exercise the old brain - fire away.
BTW Watson what is the reference to my uncle Jack?
Go for it Tex,,I'm still thinking.
For BT
My Uncle Jack was always a little green around the gills, and he scared us little kids to death....it really did sound as though someone was describing him!

It sounded like a novels' title - I may have been thinking about the David Ireland novel - My Brother Jack.
EDIT as it seems that everyone is too polite to correct me regarding the above statement I will do so myself.
My Brother Jack was infact written by George Johnstone.
OK. After his book was published, this famous author left the country for a holiday. After a month or so he sent a letter to his publisher.
The letter was: ?
The publisher's reply: !
Who was the author and what was the book?
Tex
PS, just tried googling it and came up with nothing, so maybe people will have to think on this one.
19th century author. Does that help?
Doesn't help yet!
But wouldn't he be just the sort of bloke you'd want as a dinner guest??
"he just never shuts up" "?"

Is it Oscar Wilde??
Noel
French author.
You would have seen the movies and/or the broadway musical, but the books are actually much better.
