You are correct sir. Framed it is, a) because it was a magnificent gig, b) because I actively enjoy the review despite it being by CSM, and c) it was the night I got together with my first 'proper' girlfriend.

On that particular night it has to be the Fall, they were magnificent, skins and Fingers fans tried to gob and bottle them off stage, one tosser got up on stage and lamped Smithy, but the more the hatred the better they played. Superb.

Where Were You on the day the Bee Gees' single "Tragedy" reached the number one spot on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart?
I was at the Lyceum on The Strand.

It's a good question, and one I'm not sure I can answer. I think I've always had it, an eye for beauty, the ability to tell a good image, good art, from bad or just plain ordinary. I should probably have been a critic.

Wireless is modern now isn't it, wireless mouse, wireless chargers, printers etc. Maybe what goes around comes around.
