"When your down in the gutter nothing seems to matter when your history"

UFO. Wish I could find my copy of "You Are Here" even if it does not make my top 10 list of UFO recordings. The above quote is from "The Wild The Willing and The Innocent" which is my 2nd favorite UFO CD.

1. Lights Out
2. The Wild the Willing and The Innocent
3. hungry may finish this list later. I did it before and I'll have to compair the two.

Legendary Led Zeplin drummer's son is in the drumset for UFO these days. Would be nice to see UFO's star shine bright again in rock history. I do expect total greatness from their next recording. I think this line up is just warming up.

Hello,

They had a hit or two. That style of music is not in demand.

Peace!

Their influence goes beyond their hits.

Iron Maiden/Metalica/Kiss are among their fans.

One of the Metalica players can play every UFO song note for note.

And The Wild The Willing And The Innocent should have been in demand. It is awsome if you give the kid a chance.

Re: Anyone intrested in History?


LOL found this post which goes along with my current sig line "1503 - Treaty of Everlasting Peace between Scotland and England is signed, which would actually last 10 years."

LIFE IN THE 1500'S

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500's:

These are interesting...

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and off the roof. Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entranceway.
Hence the saying a "thresh hold."

(Getting quite an education, aren't you?)

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme, "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old."

Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off It was a sign of wealth that a man could "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat."

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or "upper crust."

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake."

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was considered a "dead ringer."

And that's the truth... Now, whoever said that History was boring ! ! !

Educate someone...Share these facts with a friend

From the Deep Purple forum
http://com3.runboard.com/bdeeppurplefanforum.fnonpurple.t2082


They must not teach History in school anymore

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our local newspaper has a call in column where you voice your concern which they print daily. Some recent comments:
- Called George Washington a "Republican" President because HE STARTED THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR.

- Stated that Abe Lincoln was a "Democrat" because he freed the slaves.

- Called Franklin Roosevelt a "Republican because he started WWII so he could get Japan's oil.

Can people really be this stupid?
