Ain't that a shame !! With Chuck Berry passing this year, it now leaves only Little Richard, Don Everly and Jerry Lee Lewis, of the original Rock 'n' Roll heavy weights left !! The amazing thing is that Jerry Lee Lewis is still going! And you forget about Wee Willie Harris - he’s still going strong...

I’m half way through watching the bbc4 documentary mentioned above. I’ve always liked Fats Domino but hadn’t appreciated just how influential he was on the transition from RnB to Rock & Roll.

Yes, you’re right. Not thinking straight! It was one of the crickets whose name escapes me - Waylon Jennings perhaps?

I find it quite bemusing that last night (I haven’t checked this board since) there was a debate on here about liberalism, which I associate (in my earlier adult years) with liberating people to remain free to pursue their own interests and to work and to keep the pay that they earn. Also, that ind...

I think the variety of replies and recommendations just prove how fortunate we are to have so many quality places to eat around here, It's often commented on by friends who visit... I'd be interested to learn where you go Cliff... We did go to the Higher Buck are all four of us were well impressed....

Help please. We've got friends coming to stay with us in a couple of weeks and thought we might take them on a drive to Clitheroe for a nice Sunday Lunch. Any recommendations in or around will be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.

When the thread went up my first thought was of the West indian quick at Bacup but his name beats me, Silky. Same era, can you bail me out? Found him, on Bacup CC history page. Roy Gilchrist. PS.

It was brilliant anticipation from Wood. He was ready to move when the back pass was made and he was already half way towards the ball before his "marker" started to move. Great finish too.

Brought up in Hassy and in late 50s started watching Burnley & Blackburn on alternate weeks, going with a mate, his brother and his dad who had a greengrocers shop, which meant he had a van, which meant transport! Probably around time we were Champions, made the wise decision to dump Blackburn and c...

I think the reason people are not 100% behind this is that it is not obvious what the purpose is, apart from gays trying to promote their sexual preferences.

That's what it says in today's daily telegraph. "They Expect to sign Wilfried Bony from Manchester City after an £8 million bid for Burnley,s Ashley Barnes was turned down."

ClaretCliff

Well said. Many of the comments on the Nakhi Wells thread were shocking. Give the lad a chance.

ClaretCliff

Apologies if covered elsewhere but I haven't seen it. Burnley have turned down an £8m bid from Swansea for Ashley Barnes. Swansea are now expected to go after Bony.

My daughter had it done a few years ago, prob about 7 or 8, when she was in her 20s. She has had no problems and has never regretted it.

As someone else has said, do your research. She had it done with Ultralase but I think they are now part of Optimax.

Did they mention why Alli's celebration was so subdued? Commentator's on the live stream were suggesting a Clarets link, but I don't know of any. Arfield was then mentioned as a reasoning. Which left me equally in the dark. It's just like players who don't celebrate when scoring against their old c...

The predictable maelstrom of Daily Mail reading middle aged men kicking and stomping their feet about this is hilarious and disturbing.

Also choddy for chewing gum, mentioned above - but we pronounced it chuddy.

That's the one I was thinking of when I posted earlier. I lived in Dale St, so I was a regular shopper in Pleasant Street. did you live anywhere near me, Silky?

Two I remember from Hassy but I suspect they reached Burnley, perhaps someone will confirm.

"Selling out shop" meaning off-licence.

"stood there like cheese at four pence" when someone had been left waiting. (Cheese costing four pence was the dearest stuff and was left on the shelf)

Totally agree spice. And if not Jay rod, then even Ings. Ings seemed to have trickery of a midfielder winger but could also spot a lass and find the net, with pace , so would suit Gray perfectly. That said as with Jay Rod, not sure what the injury has taken from his game. Nice Freudian slip there A...
