Popular Post Pete S Posted January 9, 2014 Popular Post Posted January 9, 2014 Scal just PM'd me and said he thinks those are from a midweek disco promotion and I agree with him. Not a proper nighter. Full of divs, girlies, and no dilated pupils. 5

Full of divs, girlies, and no dilated pupils. Yeah, maybe I noticed one of the captions was something along the lines of 'Teenagers enjoying themselves dancing at a disco'...I used to go the midweeks as it happens

Steve S 60 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Is it just me, or does RW look like Keith Lemon without the peroxide?
Scal Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Also check out the platform soled shoes on the majority of "the Brut soaked masses". 1
Steve S 60 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 With Paul Weller dancing and Bono in the coat looking on Thought it was a young Jude Law on the floor. 1
Steve S 60 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 With Paul Weller dancing and Bono in the coat looking on It looks like a Lord Anthony trench coat that they used to sell on the market.

Chatty Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I didn't see Stephen Fry but wondered why Steve Coppell, in the mac, was there. At least he had Jimmy Nichol watching his back!
Scal Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 However the photos, once again are great....very, very good.
Steve S 60 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 The bloke with the plastic black fist around his neck......ffs! I thought he'd had a tracheostomy.

KevH Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 He's just remembered his back's gone at work.Have to ring in sick Monday now.
Scal Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I wonder if it was hollowed out and he stashed some of his gear in there?
Scal Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 He's just remembered his back's gone at work.Have to ring in sick Monday now. It may be that he has just landed on that guy's black plastit fist ..... or remembered that he 'd put that bottle of Coca- Cola in one of his back pockets!1
Guest MBarrett Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Genuine question - what are those wooden (?) structures in the background? It must be obvious but I'm not getting it . . . . . . . . .
Back Street Blue Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Also check out the platform soled shoes on the majority of "the Brut soaked masses". yeah, think you're right Scal....doesn't look like a nighter crowd with the footwear......and all the shit shirts.

Wigan was cutting edge fashion toward the end...cutting edge everything actually, ;) 1
Guest MBarrett Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 They look like some swings to me? You could be right. A rope coming down with a seat affair attached to the bottom. Maybe for more than one person. That would work. But I'm enjoying all the other answers . . . . . . so more please. MB P.S. Bob Carolgees must have left Spit the Dog tied up off camera.
