Trav Le Bleu Posted 9 February 2011 Posted 9 February 2011 What a great decade! Wish I'd been there! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Phwoar! Back then decades were REAL decades! (With apologies to Finners)
MikeyT Posted 9 February 2011 Posted 9 February 2011 Alright Grandad. Don't get too excited now Oi, we'll have less of the grandad comments you little whipper snapper. Have respect for your elders
Guest Bilo Posted 10 February 2011 Posted 10 February 2011 so many wonderful memories eh? Technically that was the 1940s. Just good old-fashioned racism and segregation in the 1930s sir. Oh, and the Great Depression. The 30s were brilliant though, at least they did recessions properly then.
Zingari Posted 10 February 2011 Posted 10 February 2011 this has confirmed my suspicion that Trav is a "friend of Dorothy" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friend_of_Dorothy and they had proper gangsters in those days , with proper gangster names , like machine gun kelly , scarface capone and baby faced nelson
Trav Le Bleu Posted 10 February 2011 Author Posted 10 February 2011 What's most worrying is that I went Phwoar at a 16 year old I was just picking a random iconic woman of the era... honest officer!

The Doctor Posted 11 February 2011 Posted 11 February 2011 for a split second I thought you were phwoaring at the Zeppelin crash.
purpleronnie Posted 11 February 2011 Posted 11 February 2011 Robert Johnson recorded in the 1930's...A bit of a stretch but genius is genius.
Webbo Posted 11 February 2011 Posted 11 February 2011 Robert Johnson recorded in the 1930's...A bit of a stretch but genius is genius. Isn't he meant to have sold his soul to the devil?
Trav Le Bleu Posted 11 February 2011 Author Posted 11 February 2011 Isn't he meant to have sold his soul to the devil? Yes he was... the whole "Crossroads" story is based on him*. And one of the coolest cars ever! V16 engine and when someone wrote to Emile Bugatti to complain about the brakes on it, he replied, "My cars are made to go, not stop." *That's what Schuey McPhee told me Miss Diane.
Webbo Posted 11 February 2011 Posted 11 February 2011 Yes he was... the whole "Crossroads" story is based on him*. *That's what Schuey McPhee told me Miss Diane. They never had that in the 90s. Score one for the oldies.
