Yeah maybe there are enough Kajagoogoo YouTube accounts already.
Limahl is playing at an 80s festival just down the road from us next Summer. I think we'll be going, it was a good laugh this year. I'd ask him for his autograph but I'm ... ...
When I was doing my sums degree at the Dundee Institute of Technology, as it was then, the big rumour in the city was that ex-pop star Limahl was studying game development there (something it's good at ever since Lemmings). My wee lad had got to hear this rumour and was almost demanding that I get his autograph. Trying to talk reason when I told him he wasn't really at the Uni, Rob replied, "It's because you don't like Kajagoogoo, isn't it? If Joe Strummer was there you'd get his autograph." There was a certain element of truth in his words, even though based on a falacy.
Brilliant. Reminds me a bit of how when I was at school, 5th (final) year we had a day out to Lancaster University for some English Lit/ Shakespeare 'workshop' and the day before, the Clash had played there (Jan 23rd 1980, according to blackmarketclash)
Me and my mates wandered around the college campus in a state of excitement wondering if we'd see the band anywhere - as if they'd stick around the next day! Sightseeing on a redbrick university campus!

Haha I bet you could still hear the echos down the long corridors
I'm amazed that we have people on here who were still at School in the 80's. And that someone on here has a degree in mathematics
Think I just expect everyone to be like me

Old gits club. We don't turn anyone away.
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing
The end of liberty
We're the flowers in the dustbin...
No fuchsias for you.

I left school in 1980. White Man left school in 1920.
I should probably add there were not that many ticks against my name in the school register that year.

I'm going to piss you off even more, but during a period of part unemployment/part running the local Foodbank, I did a History degree through OU and now have an honours in that too - better than my ordinary maths degree. The history I did for fun without any pressure to succeed.

I agree with the s! I met a namesake who was a 'Math' teacher from Boston and he said, "What do you teach?" I replied, "More than you mate, we do maths!"

Aye, but in my school uniform. Fought a thousand battles but was always home for me tea.
