Thanks stuart.

augie and McD - sorry to hear about the death of Sean. Didn't know the man, but he sounds like a good bloke taken far too young.

RIP.

Thanks DB

[augie]

To be fair he was more of a football acquaintance of mine where as McD was a childhood friend of Sean and would have been a hellofa lot closer to him than I was

Scott Weiland, lead vocalist of the Stone Temple Pilots, died in his sleep yesterday aged 48.

Core; Purple (esp.) and Tiny Music are all good albums. Not surprised to hear of his passing as he had well documented drug problems but still saddening.

They were a great band for a time in the mid-nineties.

Close your eyes and drift away.

Turned Highfield Road into the first all seat ground well before the Revolution.

Was part of my childhood - when someone told a tall story, you would respond either , Jim, Jim, itchy chin or oh yeah chinney reckon, while stroking your imaginary beard.
