A Comedic Moment

I'm having a slight crisis of confidence here. I need to establish some facts, mainly related to the temporary student employment market in 1974. This will involve a little fiddling around with tape recorders and pints of bitter.

I'll explain later. I hope. In the meanwhile, and strictly in the interests of journalistic veracity, here's a new and absolutely contemporaneous picture:

I'm thinking that hair is SERIOUS!! Whole families could be living in there and you wouldn't know. Very impressed.

Mott the Hoople???? Mott the HOOPLE??? I speet on Mott and their carefully permed london salon locks.

Good heavens, Heather. Another person from Switizerland. Why we could almost drop you on your doorstep now I come to think of it. Hope you don't mind but I've added you to the Hitchhikers list...

Goodness. I had to go and rouse TOM from watching Top Gear to show him that. His comment:

God. I can't compete with that. Contemporaneuous, good use of word.

Were you in some sort of competition with Yaya?

'You're really, really tall, but I've got LOADS of hair.'

Odd, I'd say. Very odd!

I'm so getting Jon (Whateva Sista!) to coma and have a look!

Too true, Whateva. I used to live in fear of little old ladies with blue rinse hairdos accosting me in the street.

For some reason the little young ladies didn't seem nearly so interested...

Welcome to the bus. We need a few more guys on board...

Hair? Ha!

I got stopped by the constables one afternoon driving into London in my Fiat 500 with Chris. We were on our way to a gig I had with Kim someplace like Charing Cross or Grosvenor Square, and Chris and Robin were doing the sound ("turn the PA on Chris"... "it is on, Robin!". Love those Quad amp's and Cambridge speakers...).

The WPC could only ask Chris if the Carolingian curls he sported were for real! They were. Christ, if he'd ever brushed them! You think Mark had hair....

True. Chris's was somehow... curlier.

I better go look for a picture...
