However I left Bearwood long before I discovered this and so had to think of a new username. Purely as I'm of an age where the New Romantic era was part of my growing up this name shot in my head as a play on words. It has nothing to do with an affinity of Spandau Ballet, although I have to admit I had a girlfriend from Halesowen who was mad on them at the time, and we did see them together at the Odeon in 1983, so there is a little bit of a soft spot for the band.I don't think it's their best album, but still very listenable, but then again I enjoy everything they release. Give it a few more tries, as it's a grower!

Simples...
What do you think of the new album? I have to admit I'm not as keen as usual, but maybe need to play it a couple more times.

My actual surname, Hayward, is not suitable for this board.
Why ? Justin Hayward is a damn fine guitarist !

Hermit Throstle, as it was the 400th species of bird I had seen in Britain, as I'm one of these mad Twitching blokes you read about seeing rare birds across the British isles. Hermit Thrush is a rare American vagrant that I saw on Tresco Isle of Scilly back in 1993.

Who is the Ist these days? Have PK and TTM ever returned?
Ist, not sure. PK came back and searched for posts with his name in, then left. TTM went to the twatter for a bit I think.
I followed TTM on Twatter for a bit but had to unfollow due to relentless political tweets.
PK seems to have dropped off the face of the Earth.

Genuine question: what's the attraction to twitching? The quiet?
