Something for the weekend
Good old Titbits, a cheesy gossip mag full of curvy young ladies in bikinis but you didn't have to be embarrassed about looking at it because your mum bought it — the Littlewoods catalogue was similar in that respect, pages and pages of girls in their underwear but you could pretend you were looking at the toys.
I would really love to know what "Nitro Man Blows The Gaff" was all about. Isn't that a great bit of tabloid poetry?
This issue is dated June 17, 1972, and that very same week pop pickers you could hear this little number on the charts. Not quite as good as I remembered it being though, but it has a certain charm.

Things are a bit slow here at the moment, I have a pile of half-written new posts staring at me and begging to be finished but my head's not into it right now. I left my enthusiasm in my other trousers this week.

Bloody hell, this song is Ed 'Stewpot' Stewart's Junior Choice circa 1973 and I swear I haven't heard it since, you bastard. It's not quite so good as I remember it either, but then what is? Angel Delight? DON'T THINK SO.
Oh, I love this song. I thought I was the last person alive to remember it.
Oh, this is one of the great songs of my long-ago college days . . . I loved it then, and I love it now. Nice choice, Lee!
Is that Raquel off Coronation St?
There's just enough enthusiasm in the pocket corner of your current trousers to inspire.
Aah Titbits!
Leeds Utd had just won the Centenary FA Cup Final, we chuckled to 'My Ding-a-Ling' and Mark Spitz swam like a porpoise.
In mind mind now the sun shone in 1972. (I suspect it mostly rained).
Aztec Bars.
Another thing that wasn't as good as I remembered when they were brough back out again for a short while a few years ago.
I literally love that look, the 'MFP Top of the Pops cover girl' style,
There's a limited edition mix on this theme you can grab here titled 'I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight'

70s top shelfers - there's thread waiting to happen...we used to find them crumpled in the bushes of our local park - although I'm not so keen on the readers wives with 'no publicity' black bars across the eyes look though...
Nice boobers on the tart. And, a great memory with the song. About as good as it gets! From Canada.
