I love this term. Joe used it in a radio interview last year or the year before. It sounds so dignified, a title the Eagles have certainly earned.Quote:

I agree PM. What exactly does this mean? Anyone have this story?Quote:

Wow--12 years old! I wonder how long she'd been in there and how far she had gotten. Wonder if her parents had a clue.
I found this snippet from a Northern newspaper:
Its columnist John Wearmouth is looking for Carol Dryden, a local girl who was 12 at the height of Beatlemania and posted herself to the group in a tea chest, snugly lined with blankets and equipped with a flask for the trip. Postal problems were not unknown then, as now, and she unfortunately ended up in a depot at Crewe where her taps - the flask being empty and the blankets manky - got her let out. Where is she now, asks John Wearmouth, an appeal which the Northerner happily amplifies. If she still has her tea chest, the Beatles museum in Liverpool will surely feature it in the coming European Capital of Culture festivities.
I bet her mum had kittens!
Manky is a new word to me - I assume it means stinky?
Yeah... dirty, or just a bit gross!
OK thanks.
Oh, and had kittens means...had a fit?
Yep :)
