| This is a great site, and brings back gas memories of all those years ago. However, I am getting a sneaking feeling that the people visiting the site are probably in their mid to late thirties, and early forties. Would I be correct, I wonder???!!!!! |

Speaking personally on behalf of myself,I have to agree with Colettemc on the issue of age etc. Reading some of the contributors favourite songs,Smiths,REM,Faith No More etc.,definitely not from my era, 79 - 85,( I know,I know,six years,would probably still go at 40 if I could.) We were more familiar with Ace of Spades,Alternative Ulster and of course Jammin'.

I don't know about this when I viewed the re-union photo's in the Gallery I reckoned some of them weren't even born when I was going to The Grove.I actually found it a bit off putting as it wouldn't encourage me to go to one cos I'd feel too old at 42?? Could someone post some older photo's??? Don't even know if I'd know anyone now to go to it with |

Hiya, I thought that at the Halloween night there were a lot of people in there early forties. I'm 31 (that's my little rocker Sophie by the way as my Avatar, she's a good bit older now - 16 mths). It's a good mix of ages that seem to go but not many that I recognised. Great moshes, there needs to be more girls in the moshes cos I always feel I'm the only one. I agree with the statement made earlier that Zeppelin are the best,my favourites , I love them too much and it's "Nobody's Fault But Mine"...Sorry couldn't stop myself. Crusty, what makes someone a Newbie or a Senior Member???

Hi Star, As a member of the " early forty " group you referred to,who still thinks Zeppelin are the best and who managed,despite these old bones,to participate in some of the moshes 'cos I was dragged in by my kid brother,I can tell you that it takes forty posts to get from a Newbie to a Groupie and another sixty to become a Senior Member. There's a regular few at it most days,( I know, sad isn't it ) but it's a bit of a laugh. You can actually rank the member list by posts to determine the most addicted. Rolo.

you learn something new everyday! I see that a few of you have become seniors. Fair play to ya for keeping the flame alive! Thanks for that Rolo. Crust. |

Crusty, If you've read through some of the chat you'll wonder exactly what it all has to do with the Grove. But there's a few of us,as you say,knocking a bit of crack out of the whole thing most days,with very tenuous links to the core subject. All good fun though. Rolo.

Crusty,
This is only a suggestion but is there any way in displaying the messages in reverse order i.e. the latest postings at the top and then descending - it would make it easier to read the thread of the conversations - especially when the get off the subject....... only a small suggestion - - just in case you are looking for something to do!!!!!!! - great site cheers Jackie |

Hi Rolo, Sorry only getting back to you now but it's been mental for me here all week, hubby in the States working for two weeks and I am with the little woman 24hrs so dont know my arse from my elbow..knackered! Because I've been in baby city all week I haven't been near town to see any billboards about Planty playing here.. i'm really fed up .. only knew about it when I saw your posting. I would have arranged a babysitter and went on my own even. The closest I'll get to Robert baby is the plant outside our front window which is named after him!!! I can't believe I missed him and he played TWO NIGHTS.
Did you go?

Did go on Friday,Star and it was just magic. Half the set were Zeppelin songs, Black Dog,Going to California,What is and What should never be,Gallows Pole, When the Levee Breaks........................... He finished with a 20 minute Whole Lotta Love,just like in the movie and then at the very end when the lights were on and the Band gone from the stage,he comes up to the microphone and says , " Does anybody remember Laughter " and walks off the stage. Fantastic night, sorry for rubbing it in, but you did ask. Rolo. |

oh man, I am sickened.
Sounds like the gig was brilliant! I'll just have to watch my "Song Remains The Same" DVD and pretend I was there! Just watched the original Charlie and The Choc Factory... Legend movie. Bought the new Gorilla's album today and it seems good, needs a few more listens I think to make my final judgement. Will everyone be able to go on Stephen's Night to the reunion?? Most people stay in and pig out and watch movies. Star ------------- Never Again on a school night! Famous last words |

Evening Star, Gig was magic all right. Have you seen the other Zeppelin DVD with bits from several live shows,have it downstairs but can't remember what it's called. Some good bits on that as well. Rolo.

Hi Rolo,
Yeah I saw it and it's brilliant. Was offered free tickets for Joss Stone tonight but have done my flippin back in and couldn't go. Hubby back from the States on Sunday , I can't wait, he's been gone since the 5th! Are there still tickets available for the 26th Christmas Reunion? You going Rolo?

Hi Star, Defo going on 27th, not sure 'bout 26th. Maybe the tickets have all sold out by now. Interesting about Joss Stone,had two free tickets myself but no one wanted them. I'm not a fan. Wonder if tickets came from the same source. Mine from Diageo. You going 26th or 27th ? Rolo.

Hi Rolo,
Going to try get tickets for the 26th tomorrow in the Shieling. A friend who works in Irish Permanent was given them and offered them to me. I'd say she was good cos she has some set of lungs on her for a teenager..reminiscent of Joplin. Hubby home tomorrow and I can't wait, picking him up at the Airport at 7.30am (and my pressie hopefully!) . Star. ------------- Never Again on a school night! Famous last words |

Thanks exgrovehead. She's 16 months, I'm going to scan a recent pic of her and put it up instead of that one, that one was at about 6 months I think.
