    We both (me and Robbie not me and Kylie, regrettably) used to get our burgers from Sinbad's in Tunstall.

    Don't look for it, it's not there anymore. They even demolished the building.

    I do like that tune, though I'm sure there's millions out there who could have happily taken his place. Including me.

    Just been on Radio Caroline this morning. Forgotten just what a good tune this is.

    You guys!

    To be fair, Kylie does redeem a lot of things!

    He must have a thing for Antipodean ladies.



    I still want to smack him in his smug gob for no rational reason, though!

    I would agree with that. To use a Wham! analogy, Robbie was the Andrew Ridgeley. I always felt he held you back. But for him to then claim he'd gone solo, that must have stung.

    Just out of curiosity, when you guys went to Sinbads, did you go Dutch or did Robbie ever put his hand in his pocket

    We were never there at the same time. This was 1991 and by that point he was already become the fat dancer out of 'Take That.' I saw him mention in it in an interview that's all.

    Location of 'Sinbad's', yesterday. The place next to it used to be a crap chippy:

    I can picture Robbie in his "fat dancer" days getting his dinner at the crap chippy then nipping next door to Sinbad's for his pudding. Did Elvis not teach him anything?

    This is where he lives now so he's done better than we have at least by a little bit:
