I thought it would be an idea to discuss other artists who have worked with any of the Beatles, and Bowie worked briefly with John. The single "Fame" which they worked on gave him his first US #1, and its a pity they didn't work on more stuff. Here are a few songs from David Bowie... Imagine IftjxN_KJoM Penny Lane iHb3GIQGoIM Mother sfu_7PzBQGs Fame qpOlaLTXP4E This is an open discussion about David Bowie's music, as a huge fan he probably did for the 1970's what the Beatles did for the 1960's. Any other artists that worked with the Beatles can have their own topic.

Maid :o ;)

Melody Maker

Fashion in the Seventies Do you remember the fashions of the seventies…? I suppose every decade thinks their fashion is better than the previous, but maybe we could make an exception for the seventies, as there was a lot of weird and wonderful stuff we wore. Was it the colours of the fabrics? No? Or maybe it was the cool flowing styles? Maybe. Or possibly it was those platform shoes were a heaven sent present from the Fashion Gods, if you were a bit on the short side. Can you remember what you were wearing in those sun filled days? Afghan Coat A knee length sheepskin coat with huge fur collar & trim. Not one to wear out in the rain unless you wanted to smell like an old dog (Early 70’s) American Tan Tights English white legs needed the help of tights to get that tan, but they were dark orange! Were “oompa loompa” legs really the fashion? (Early 70’s) Bellbottoms Trousers that flared out from the knee & covered your shoes. The wider the better, with 24” being the ultimate in cool. Ben Sherman Shirt Slim fitting shirt with button down collar & an inch wide pleat down the back with tab. Popular with the shaven head, braces and Dr. Martin brigade. Blakies Metal sole protection that you fixed on the heel of your shoes, mostly to make as much noise as possible tap dancing in the school corridor and to make sparks on the pavement as you walked home from school.. Did anyone actually ever buy them to protect their shoes? Cheesecloth Shirt A handy item for those people who hated ironing. I loved these in the mid 70’s when Status Quo were in their hey day. Went well with your Levi Jeans and huge buckled belts. Chocolate Brown Tights Another ghastly colour to cover pasty white legs! Not quite “oompa loompa “ but just as sexy. Crombie Black or Navy woollen knee length coat with red silk hanky in top pocket. Worn by the same crowd making lots of noise with their blakies! (1972) Dinner Plate Sleeves Blouses or shirts that flared out from the elbow. Not the best item to wear when meeting the boy/girlfriend’s parents for the first time and eating soup! Elasticated Nurse Belt Worn with high waisted skirts, this belt had a 3 clasp metal fastening. Most boyfriends were interested in the full nurses uniform, not just the belt! (1975) Espadrilles Woven or canvas wedge shoes/sandals with long ties to criss- cross up the legs! Great for stopping the circulation, giving you varicous veins and an interesting tan if worn in the sun. Never stayed up even with the best boy scout knot! (1977) Falmer Jeans & Waistcoat Denim with 3 pin-tucks in the back pockets & front of waistcoat. Status Quo eat your heart out. (1976) Flares Trousers that flared extremely wide at the bottom to completely cover shoes. Never knew the difference between these and bellbottoms. Does anyone know? Halter Necks Lovely little backless tops for the girls, which tied up round the neck and midriff. Very nice in the summer months. Hotpants Shorts with bib ‘n’ brace, very often made from crimplene! Some had turn ups. Some things have improved over the years. Just ask yourself, who looked better in Hotpants, Babs from Pans People or Kylie?(1971) Kipper Tie Extremely wide tie with huge knot! Great for keeping your shirt clean. (Mid to late 70’s) Loafers Leather shoes with front tassel. Made you look cool and sound even cooler if Blakies added and worn together with your Ben Sherman, Sta-press trousers and Crombie. (1972) Loon Pants Heavy cotton hipster trousers that changed colour from the knee downwards. Looked like something that Barbara from the “Good Life” would run up on her sewing machine! (1974) Mini, Midi, Maxi Skirt A-line skirts in 3 different lengths, usually worn with knee-length boots. No doubt which length the blokes preferred! (1972) Oxford Bags Pleat-front baggy trousers with turn ups, usually woollen, checked material. No comment necessary. How awful do they sound? (Mid 70’s) Patches The big favourite was the US Dollar. Perfect for sewing on your jean jackets. Platforms Chunky shoes (often multi-coloured) with dangerously high heels and mega thick soles. Ideal for that sexy walk across the dance floor to impress that chick/guy you had your eye on all night. NOT! Punk Lots of leather, tartan, safety pins, heavy make-up, chains and anything else you felt like wearing, to get you noticed whilst “pogo-ing” and to scare your Nan! (1977) Skinny Rib Tops Very tight fitting jumpers to show off all those intended and unintended curves! Snakeskin Boots Steve Irwin (Crocodile Hunter) will be pleased to note these were fake. An ideal item to be worn with a mini-skirt, according to blokes! Starsky Cardigan A chunky- knit, long length, woollen cardigan with belt. Normally cream and brown and only ever looked good on Starsky! Sta-press Trousers Drainpipe trousers with crisp permanent creases. Made from the famous trevira that never required ironing. No wonder they were so popular. Tank Top Sleeveless skinny ribbed jumper in various colours. Lost all credibility when worn by Frank Spencer in “Some Mothers Do Have ‘Em”! Tartan No description necessary. What ever happened to Les, Eric, Alan, Woody, and the other one? (1975) Wide Collared shirts Sometimes patterned with white collars. The wider the collar the better to show off the hairy chest and medallion. Collars that were wider than your shoulders were really impressive. Now back in fashion according to Harry Hill!

I do, but I can't remember if I liked them or not. :D

Here is some adverts for toys, watch out for eagle eye Action man :lol: sGSPw7WtuXY

Thought we could have a 1970's thread where you can discuss old films, tv programs,adverts, fashions,people and music etc etc... Kick this off with a selection of TV adverts pOw3Sk7yvu4 fwnV_nvmum8 Still like the Aliens doing the smash advert and the Cresta polar bear :lol: Its frothy man Not forgetting that age old question...is she or isn't she ;) Last but not least, the flake advert :)

I was watching some of the pictures on Sky sports, and when West Ham scored, some fans raced onto pitch and gestured right in the faces of Millwall players, doesn't help much. Looks like the stewards had their work cut out.

Seems to be really serious crowd trouble at the cup match tonight, at least one person stabbed. Trouble before and during the game, loads of pitch invasions. Looks like the neanderthals have returned.

Haven't read it but might try to get a hold of it.

This sounds good, will try to catch a few on these :)

Plus they will be available on ebay within a few days.
