Me being the icing on the cake

Just to go back for a moment the M cherry on the fluffy icing on the cake was

 

Motown

(My K would have been The Kinks... who (frick I hope Dooreen doesn't spy on us in here) are way better than the lads from liverpool).

 

Muhammad Ali changes his name from Cassius Clay after winning 3 heavy wait titles from Sonny Liston in 64... and a whole new era of boxing was born.

Are you not meant to be posting an O though?

St Kilda FC 1966 Premiers of the VFL (what the AFL used to be before all those other clubs muscled in on our awesomeness).... the one, and only, premiership flag we have ever won..... still waiting... and just like slippy and his English world cup.. never seen it in my lifetime... but heartache of heartaches I've watched them loose the Grand fInal (superbowl for the yanks) 3 times (once the day of my 21st) and draw it once.... so much heartache... BUT I love me Saintas and wouldn't change 'em for nought....

 

(saddly @Sslip if there is a cosmic connection between my Saintas winning the Premiership and your England winning the World Cup this will not be the year... cos there is no way we making finals (play offs... again for the yanks)....

^^ That's the

 

Strawbs... (You Don't Get Me) "Part of the Union" ... its way better than Union Man by the Cate Brothers.... but I forgot about it... I remember the boys singing it when they were pissed... and for some reason I thought it was 60's...

Bloody Sunday ...  When Irish protestors were shot in Bogside Northern Ireland by British Troops... Sunday 30 Jan 1972 ... this kicked off over 3 decades of what we know as the Troubles ... where over 3000 people died unnecessarily in Ireland and the UK.... despite my upbringing, I believe both sides were at fault, both sides share the blame, all these people died pointlessly... the hero of the day was Father Edward Daly... who went into the streets under fire to administer last rights, and protect a wounded teen by lying over him until he could be carried to safety and treatment he proceeded the blokes carrying the injured teen with his arms spread wide as if he could stop the bullets waving his blood soaked white hanky to try and protect them all.
