Any Cliff Richard fans out there?  

Hello, Gabs - nice to see someone sensible on here! I think Cliff's secret is he knows what people want and he gives it to them in bucketloads. He's also a good role model. I mean, there's been plenty of speculation about his private life, but you've never seen him plastered all over the tabloids or staggering out of a night club at stupid 0'clock with a bimbo on each arm. He's wearing well for almost 70 as well. I'm still hoping he'll meet me and fall in love at first sight, and I've told my husband if that happens, he'll just have to hand me over without a fight!

You are so right about that and that is also what I liked about him famous but a private Person
And hey you never know your luck it might still happen and did your Husband agree to handing you over without a Fight lol???

Unfortunately, no - he just laughs when I mention it. But I haven't given up hope, so we'll see if he finds it funny when Cliff comes courting. I can dream, can't I?

Hahahaha yes Sandra you can

Hello, Judith. I don't know about a legion of fans, but I'm hoping to round up enough to go on a bunny hunting expedition. You have been warned - run rabbit, run!

run? don't think so - it is harder to scare me than that

Hang on, I'll just put Cliff's greatest hits on the CD player. Now are you scared?

not sure how to break this to you sandra but i am too far away to hear the horror coming out of your cd player

Hi jb, I've just looked and there's only me and you not swooning over plastic boy. Worrying isn't it. Even fjaril likes him.

well THAT may not have impact on anyone else, thea,, what I like!

Fjaril, I love you more and more with every passing day. Fancy coming to see me in Spain. And for the last time, Thea, he's NOT plastic boy!

Botoxed boy with plastic bits, does that suit more Sandra. Okay explain why he still looks like a teenager if he has any real bits left?

i've already explained this - portrait in the attic

He didn't actually marry Sue Barker, but he was linked to her romantically. And I'm one of those ancient people who really like him.

I thought he married her. I'm just going by what I vaguely remember from when I was just a kid. I didn't mean you're ancient but I do know a lot of oldies who like Cliff so he must have been seriously good back in the day.

Wel, I am pretty ancient, you know. And yes, he was - and still is - an excellent singer.

Well it's cool that you still like him after all those years. My friends mom has all his music so I'll ask her all about him.

I didn't have a clue about his age and to think he's still singing at nearly 70 is totally awesome. I thought he was something like nearer 50, he looks so young.

he has a portrait of himself in the attic

Oh my! Would it not be cheaper to just buy a mirror?

Sandra will you stop it with the oldies, I think it's possible that in 3 years the acceptable term may then be middle aged. As for now you get younger in every picture and are fighting off much younger men than Cliffie, now stop putting it about that he's 70 when you know full well he's battery operated these days and botoxed up to the nines.

Hello, Janey. My daughter doesn't like Cliff, but she does buy his CDs for me, and she's tried to get me concert tickets a couple of times, even though she'd have drawn the line at coming with me! Can't say I'm familiar with the bands you've mentioned, though.

That's OK, not many people have lol. I don't know about you but I can't remember the last time I was interested in what was in the Charts. It's all a bit samey now and didn't really appreciate how good "Top Of The Pops" was until it was unplugged!

Hello, Diana. Yes, I think it's a shame that he never really caught on in the rest of Europe and America. I think he's quite well liked in China and Japan, though, strangely enough. He doesn't bring out much these days, but when he does, it usually makes the charts. He's 70 next year, and I keep telling my husband I'm going to leave him for a younger model (Tony's 76, going on 25), because I'm sure if I actually get to meet Cliff, he'll beg me to go away with him.

Oh my goodness - he's 70!

I just can't grasp that he is that old - though I guess we all are now

I love how you still have your dreams Sandra!

Dire Straits, Phil Collins and Eric Clapton methinks we will have fun but I'll pass on the ther 2 lol

I just put actors. Bryan Ferry, with a cigarette in each hand.

I really can't believe Cliff is so young, has anyone seen the birth certificate?

Thea, as a Greek Girl you should know that god's don't have birth certificates, and Cliff is my very own love god, so I'm priming up the mincer for you. It's kebab time, and you're on the menu!

Well I'm not coming to your next barbecue then if you're putting me in the mincer. Cliff as a love god???? Anyway you have so many of them my dear.

lol @ 'kebab time'

What sauce for that type of meat?

It would have to be a Greek sauce if we were having minced thea

It's going to be Greek and rabbit kebabs, with a very sharp sauce. These two are attacking my love god, and I'm not having it. And he's not botoxed up or running on batteries, Thea!

<<<--- has just become vegetarian

Mys.Didn't you go to Sandra's last barbecue then? She's always serving up people.

Sandra, please fess up now, just how many love gods have you actually got?

Nope. I was probably on a diet that time

Diana, it's no good you coming to the barbecue now you've gone vegetarian on us. Just the one, Thea. The others are just to cool my hot blood while I wait for the real love god to come and sweep me off my feet.

I'm sorry they are attacking your love God Sandra, I'll pass on those Greek and rabbit kebabs though! Not much meat on a rabbit

es, but it's a Scottish rabbit, Alice, and she probably lives on deep fried Mars bars, so there should be plenty to go around.

Alice, Sandra and I agree on most things but most definitely not on her love god.

Sandra come on own up, how does Jeremey feature on your list of waiting love gods?

Hello, Zandi. You just went to the top of my Christmas list! I agree with you, not much modern music even comes close, although Ronan Keating looks as if he'll be around for a while. His new album is fantastic.

Hello, Fjaril. It seems we have quite a lot in common. I like Bruce Springsteen, and the Beatles, as well as Pavarotti. They played 'We Don't Talk Anymore' on the radio this afternoon - it's one of my favourite Cliff songs. I love any good music, with words you can hear and a tune that gets to you. Unfortunately, not many of today's singers can match up to those rather humble requirements, with the possible exception of Susan Boyle. Have you got her in Sweden yet?

I saw her on Britain's got talent and I just played that again and the same feeling shivers and a choke in my thoat , She is marvelous, isn't she? I remember having tears when I saw it on tv,, so doubting and unsuspecting people were and then she sang http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxPZh4AnWyk .. aah man! How could I not react to that! She is brilliant!

I suspected that she might be so good becaue I remembereed Paul Potts also!! Wasnt that something!!! yes.. Britain's got talent, alright!

Thank you for sharing that again fjaril... it was good to see those doubting smirks wiped off a few faces when she began to sing. She looks amazing on her album too.

Hello again, Fjaril. You're right, Britain has got talent, but so has Sweden. My husband still fantasises about Agnetha from ABBA, and I think Bjorn is drop dead sexy, as well as having a fantastic talent. Mama Mia! I'm getting all worked up! Calm down, Sandra! Alice, nice of you to drop in, and yes, Susan's looking fantastic. Did you see the programme last Sunday? She's got a fantastic personality, as well as a wonderful voice.

I didn't see it Sandra no, she's from Bathgate isn't she?

Yes, Alice, that's right. If they repeat that show, it's called 'The Susan Boyle Story,' by the way, look out for it. I watched it on the ferry coming over to Spain, and there were nearly as many people in the tv lounge for that as for the X Factor final!

Hello, Cobra. Yes, I love 'Constantly,' and 'Miss You Nights.' Cliff just takes the words and turns them into magic. I can't honestly think of one I dislike. Do you know 'Lucky Lips?' That's a great upbeat number, and the first song I ever heard Cliff sing live.

I think I have... I can't remember exactly... But I know I have heard Lucky lips and it's a good number.. Will check my collection one more time..

Hello, Alice. Yes, I like Stevie Wonder as well. And Donny Osmond. My friend is a Mormon, and she met him in America, and he's drop dead sexy and really nice with it. I hate her! Still, nobody comes really close to Cliff.

I wasn't keen on the Osmonds, but to each their own aih?
Still, nobody comes really close to Cliff. Is that why he's a bachelor boy then? hehehe

Naughty Alice! I thought you were on my side with Cliff.

He's still a virgin Alice, frightened of breaking his plastic bits.

I am Sandra! I really do like Cliff, but I think he's a virgin too, nothing wrong with that. His bits are in tact then thea

Oh so that is the reason behind his looks.

Does the opposite apply for those who age early?

....and were we not saying earlier that we were getting old?

I'm virgin on the ridiculous, which is the nearest I've been to a chaste state for many years. Mind you, I was chaste a few weeks ago, by a rather nice fellow who fancied his chances. I told him I'm saving myself for Cliff, and he went away empty handed and broken hearted. And I'm sure Cliff knows what to do with his bits - he's just saving himself for me!

Sandra, don't you think there's something very suspicious about a 110 year old male virgin? His face would probably implode if he got too excited.

He's not 110, Thea, he's almost 70. And as my Basil is now 76, that makes Cliff my toy boy, and he's got a lovely face which will brim with desire when he sets eyes on me .. oh dear, time to cool down again!

He looks fantastic for a 70 year old IMO maybe being a virgin is the secret to it

I rather think being made of plastic is the reason. Maybe he's holding out for a plastic woman in which case Sandras never going to stand a chance.

Thea, have you been talking to the rabbit? We have rabbit casserole on the menu after what she said about my dreamboat. No, he's not 110, he's 70 next year. I don't know whether he's still a virgin or not, but he can practice on me any time he likes. Must go and have a cold shower - I'm getting all hot and bothered again, and it could be fatal at my age! I'm with you on Ben Kingsley and James Woods, though, but I'm glad you're no competition for Cliff's affections, because he might prefer you to me, and then I'd have to step back into serial killer mode.

No need to kill me over Cliff my dear, he's all yours. I thought all that virgin stuff was part of his image, I've heard of that whilst trying to avoid all sight and sound of him. I didn't need to confer with the rabbit to have my own opinion on which men are a total turn off.

in my defense i didn't realise that the cliff was your dream when i started making remarks about him. of course i have continued but that is because i am annoying

Yes, Judith, but you're lovely with it as well. Having said that, I've just finished preparing the sauce for the rabbit casserole. Here, bunny, bunny!

Rabbit please, Sandra has now declared a crush on Donny Osmond too. Look out for the next ones, I'm expecting to hear of that boy from the Partridge Family, can't remember his name, and the Bay City Rollers next.

is the only possible response to that

It was David Cassidy and yes, I fancied him rotten as well. I draw the line at the Bay City Rollers though, although I still have a slight yearning for Davey Jones of the Monkees. He was on a programme about 'Coronation Street' last night, and he's still quite fanciable. While we're on the subject, I also like Barry Manilow. I hope Cliff's not reading this - he'll think I'm being unfaithful!

Hey hey it's the monkeys........ was he the one with the wooly hat Sandra?

No, that was Peter Tork. Honestly, I despair of you sometimes. Were you never a groupie girl? You should know these things! I liked the Dave Clark 5 as well, but I could probably only manage 3 of them now I'm getting on a bit!

Barry Manilow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_uIKQpiRVk

Hey! the Bay City Rollers were good! in their day lol

Thanks for the link, Lamb, it was really funny. Go look at it, the rest of you - it's not what you think!

Oh my gosh, I actually opened it to see who this Barry Manilow chap was and got Lamby, brilliant. Actually isn't he another plastic boy?
Never a groupie Sandra no, but I did always have a thing for Bryan Ferry but I've no idea how well he's aged. I hope he didn't resort to plastic too.

Sandra my dear, David Cassidy was about 12. What's with this thing of yours for boys instead of real men?

Well I didn't click because I thought it WAS a Barry Mannilow song. Is he really the devil incarnate? I wouldn't like him stuck in my head either
