    Clothes storage will definitely be an issue, I have a bigger shoe collection than she does for a kick off (see what I did there?)

    Haha, good one. Well you must have an unusually large collection of footwear, or your good lady a surprisingly small one for a woman!

    About half of Del's dedicated dressing room is taken up with shoe storage, and that's just her heels, which she has to store 'in a certain way', not including anything else And she WANTS me to take her into Liverpool today to get some more (!) Peep-toe slingbacks for the summer/various strappy heeled sandals, I believe, and dresses to match.

    What joy! Nah, I like treating her (as she dresses well and looks great), and it's a lovely sunny day here, so we'll be able to go for a nice walk around the docks and hopefully catch some lunch at a nice pub serving food outside

    Marco.

    I'd be looking to book somewhere mate if you're planning anything like that, judging what i've seen up to know everyone's got similar ideas

    I remember when Princess Di died.

    So do I. I was working at a music venue in Berkshire. Cashed up, locked up, 5am. I was going back to my Old Fella's as we were heading for Anfield to watch Liverpool v Newcastle,4pm kick off. The cab driver told me what had happened, so I stayed awake till my Dad got up and explained why I thought the match would be called off.
    No chance , he said. It's on TV. Not worth arguing, so I get in the back of the car for the 200 mile trip and went straight to sleep.
    Woke up some time later to see us heading in the wrong direction on the M6. Game cancelled at 11am.

    Well I did not know that. Just checked "Meddle" label and sleevenotes to see if the track "Fearless" is credited to Gerry Marsden at all, and find that it's actually a Rodgers/Hammerstein composition.
