What do we think of Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party?

I have a top trump,David Suchet. Beat that.

Game, set and match!

I’ve been away for the weekend. My goodness there are some bitchy comments on this thread.

?

Do meetings with people such a long time ago that it makes you feel very old get extra points? If so, can I throw in the "original" Dan Archer (Harry Oakes) and the Earl of Avon, previously Sir Anthony Eden?

GracesGran,very impressive. Was Sir Ant wearing a wing collar?

GGMK3 - how about Ronnie Wood - he came to my husband's flat to score - about 50 years ago when he was in the Faces. Around that time we and a few friends used to give each other points for "spots". Some of my early "spots" were Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull in the Cameo Poly in regent Street; Mick and Bianca Jagger at a contemporary dance performance at The Place and many many more. A friend spotted Miro on top of a bus going along Piccadilly (Miro had an exhibition at the Royal Academy at the time)

Dear me, there really are some pathetic comments on here! No wonder posters are getting thin on the ground!!!!

Jabberwok - I think this topic has run its course so some of us have gone a little off piste!

Lloyd George knew my father - does that top everything?

I agree Dinahmo seems some are having fun on this thread. Such jollity on a Nigel Farage thread!

Ah well.
?

Having fun on a thread?

Not that I remember Lily but he was exquisitely dressed and had real charisma. He came across as a gentle, gentle-man but already very much of a past age.

I'm impressed Dinahmo (Sun 05-May-19 18:58:40) I'm sure London must have been a lot hotter spot than Hereford (where I was living at the time) for young people. Although we did have a large hippy community out near Hay-on-Wye; I think if someone had mentioned the word "score" to me I would have thought they were a football fan. Miro was definitely a catch - a 10 in my book.

Graces Gran - yes, it was a great place to live in the sixties and early seventies. There was job security if one wanted it and not an expensive place in which to live. Lots of small venues for live music but I think most of those have disappeared now because of the high value of property. Easy to get into exhibitions - no queues or booking ages in advance. I loved living there during that period.

I used to go to Dinty Moore's place in a basement and always made sure of a visit to the Old Kentucky Pancake Kitchen in Leicester Square.
Met and had drinks with Eric Mason and friends, several times. A smooth operator and not one to cross.

I won't be responding to any other posts that you, Varian, MawBroonsback, Jura, Lily65, MaryEliza, mcem or any of your cohorts post. It's like an echo chamber.

Couldn’t resist?

???

Is anybody there.............

(Who or what is Dinty Moore’s?
There used to be one in New York but I believe it closed down around 1970.)

Who was (is?) Derek Mason is another question that springs to mind...

I've heard of a mason jar?

Impressive fine dining indeed!
I used to prefer Angus Steak Houses, moi

I like Mason jars, excellent for preserves.

But I didn't think that Derek invented them.

Keep up at the back! It’s Eric not Derek. ???
Teacher will get cross and start correcting your apostrophes.

If he's already changed his name once he could be a guy I went out with in my youth. His surname was Mason. Did he turn into someone almost famous I wonder?

Was he in fact, Mason Mason?
