Rob Salisbury Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 For those of us lucky souls who were "There Man" through the 60's it seems the perch we are on is getting ever more slippery, who's next, as my Mum would say?!! ... along with pictures of Sports cars, Bikes, The Shrimp, Jane Asher was a lovely picture of Marianne adorning my teenage bedroom wall.

I was going by the screen frame. But even that is different, come to think of it. Edited January 31 by Charlie D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RIP Marianne and come to that RIP Françoise also, she died last year. Another lithesome young lady with a haunting breathy singing style in All over the world and an appearance in the film Grand Prix, where she was girlfriend to one of the young drivers who was killed.

Peter Cobbold Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Strangely, the passing of contemporaries does not make me feel old. But when a newly-built building I lived in age 18-20 is demolished , that destruction of a 'permanent' structure made me realise my age. https://prnt.sc/2sspjRoZe5Pn I recall exactly where I was in the dining room when we heard the news of JFK's assassination. Now its been flattened to make a sports field. Peter age 79 and 11 months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
