These years also helped form my taste in music. Years of listening to David Bowie, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and many others at the hands of my Father (if only he knew what was on the horizon). Live televised charity concerts Live Aid and The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert are as fresh in my mind today as the day they were broadcast,but I digress.
It takes a huge event to get me excited these days, so it is with a great sense of anticipation/trepidation that I look forward to Monday 27th October:
B-DAY
I know that there will be a few Gentlemen amongst us who do not realise the significance of this date so let me explain.
Mr Shaw and Mr Hawker are locked in an eternal power struggle. Mr Shaw always believes he is right and Mr Hawker believes Mr Shaw is always wrong and that he is always right. I have seen this power struggle play out before my very eyes on many occasions. I kid you not dear reader when I say it has left me quaking in my boots many times.
Take a look at theses photos below. What is the first thought that pops into your mind?
I know what your thinking. Its a picture of pure serenity, just two best friends sharing a hearty breakfast and laughing about the good times they have shared.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you are wrong. What you cannot tell from these pictures is the sense of underlying menace. The testosterone fuelled anger that each combatant is fighting to keep under control even though it seeps from every pore on their bodies.
On the 27th October 2008.
For one game only
These two giants of Oscar Mayer lore
Go head to head
In a historical showdown
There can only be one winner
CAN YOU AFFORD TO MISS IT?
