there's a nurse in Tom Sharpe's "Ancestral Voices" who believes in Post-natal abortion. I often think it is worth considering.
I never saw the Ramones but did see Iggy and Nico supporting on stage at Cardiff Top Rank in '79.

Maybe he was wearing it out of respect...word up daddy-oh, time for me cocoa!!!

 

[benb]

"the" isn't capitalised

OK, it's not The Ramones, nor is it the Ramones, it's just Ramones.

what.....? You mean like Jacksons, Beatles, Kinks, Prodigy....and Government....?

 

[Amheirchion]

I think Prodigy might actually just be Prodigy again at the moment. They keep swapping the The out anyway...

This is a bug bear of mine. Kids who wear shirts with band logos and have no ****ing idea who the band are. AC-DC, one of my fave bands... see it on all the trendy kids shirts, they dont even know a single song of theirs. Nirvana went through a period like that too. And Motorhead.

To be fair I think most people know the chorus of the most famous ACDC tracks.

Even Newport Pagnell has a "head shop"! I walked passed it this week. A bong and a few pipes in the window. It looked a bit sad. The main window display consisted of a Sid tee-shirt...oh well, he could ride a bike with a certain style....

Even mentioning those names in the same thread as Ramones, Iggy or Motorhead should be grounds for a kicking

 

[martint235]

Did The The steal the missing "the"?

 

[Firestorm]

Perhaps he was referring to Joey , Dee Dee, Johnny and Tommy in the same way as David, Victoria, Brooklyn etc are referred to as the Beckhams, ie the Ramones

I completely agree. Kick away.
