My communist granda telling me 'get an education son, that's how we beat them'
Being surrounded by women and realising they were the ones in charge
My uncles taking me to Hibs for the first time
My mum buying me The Story Of The Who when I was off sick
The local library - free books!

Today's teatime tunes: Mr. Bonfire (not his real name) wrote 'Born To Be Wild' for Steppenwolf and his own version of that song is on this solo lp but this is the clear highlight. Have a blessed Sabbath evening everyone.
