The new AC/DC album, Rock or Bust, is out today. It sounds exactly like an AC/DC album should. Like a familiar old friend who says the same things in the same way but who you love spending time with anyway.

Many years ago when we were young and innocent....
WE used to frequent a night club called "Woods" (later "Monroe's")in Plymouth
One of the regulars was a BIG AC/DC fan
On his birthday we arranged for a number of AC/C tracks to be played to celebrate
However we did not hing of the consequences of dedicating the session to "AC/DC Steve"

Did he make some new 'chums'.

No, it was one of those errors that actually made the event

AC/DC once nearly got me beaten up or worse, as a hells angel's mascot! I was trying to impress a young lady way back when I was a gangly teenager myself. We went into one of Ivybridge's less salubrious pubs straight into what was obviously some sort of biker night.
Not wanting to lose face, we stayed for one drink. Feeling that some music might lighten the atmosphere slightly I strode manfully towards the silent duke box. Sensing the sort of music the clientele might appreciate, I saw Hells Bells by the aforementioned band and a firm favourite of mine too!
My track selected, I returned to my seat knowing that soon, I would be getting appreciative glances from the assembled bikers. I wasn't wrong. Rather than the tolling bell heralding perhaps the finest intro to any song, we were treated instead to the dulcet tones of Glen Medeiros!
A dark murmur arose from the angels apart from one chap with a classic Village People moustache who offered a bit of a wink. Mortified, I returned to the duke box determined to remedy my error.
Tragically, the error seemed to be with the duke box. The moment Glen's heartfelt emotions ended...the same song came back on. We legged it never to return!

Ivybridge doesn't have any "more" salubrious pubs. Which one?
Which one was the pub on the Bittaford road with Monty the huge Mastiff belonging to the landlord...
Mrs Dave has googled it, the sportsmans.
We left there in 1996, it's all a blur.

I really can't remember. I was born and raised in Totnes, she was from Ivybridge. I remember a fairly large car park full of large motor bikes!
Ivybridge was a bit of an odd place back then. It was Europe's quickest growing town for a while a few years after. I actually had relatives from South Brent who refused to come to my wedding in the Midlands lest they fall off the edge of the world. It being flat and all!
Thinking about it now, I suppose they might have just thought I am a git and didn't want to go!

A cousin of mine lived just outside Kingsbridge.
Going to secondary school was her first experience of children from elsewhere in the district.
Years later she told me: "There was one girl from Loddiswell.
"It was only four miles away, but I thought it was the end of the world."

You may well be a git, I don't know, but getting the people we know in Devon to come to Cambs is like trying to knit fog.
Funnily enough I refer to the in laws as "the flat earth society's" for the same reasons!
