Ah, The Stripper. David Rose's most played composition perhaps? :)

'Lo sugar :)

Shirley Bassey singing Hey Big Spender to Prince Phillip. I think there's a version somewhere where she sings to an audience with Prescott and Heseltine. The old ones are the best y'know ;)

:D:D:D @ that safe sex pic above, JKD! I need that for my blog!

Pfffft Prince Phillip. I wanna spend a weekend hanging out with the Royal Wild Child. There is just something about Prince Harry that says he would make it anything but boring in so many ways! :)

Help yourself to the pic, Naoko. It's a still from one of the 'Naked Gun' movies and would guess you just need to credit it to be totally safe...even though there are many, many multiples of it floating all over Google.

I found a clip! I shall use that and I found another one, and I can use your story about the condom factory! :)

Naked Gun ... what does that remind me of? ;)

I don't think so, regardless of what my grandchildren might say.

He and Bieber are an interesting study in the difference between two people discovered at a young age and how they (and their families influenced) the way they chose to handle fame.

There is only a two year age difference between them, so the generational thing is virtually identical. Both were discovered and received great accolades at young ages...Declan at 10 and Bieber at 12. Declan's success was dwarfed by Bieber, mainly because of him being European-based and never really gaining a foothold in America. Most music professionals say he could have blown Bieber out of the water and is far more talented.

Where the real difference shows up though, is Declan became an adult and put his priorities in order by basically putting his carrer on hold and choosing to go to college first, instead of selling his soul to the music industry as a teenager. Bieber took the path (or was pushed down it by greedy parents) to big bucks and fame and has become little more than a constant embarrassment to himself.

Declan has a degree under his belt and is now working towards rebuilding a name for himself as a singer and an actor. My bet is not too far down the road, we will be hearing much more about him worldwide, and people will be saying "Bieb who?"

Alberta Hunter. This girl has to be the ultimate 'time out' artist. She had a promising career in her 20s - and then put it on hold to become a nurse. But when she retired from nursing, she went back to singing. Here she is at 80-something. :)

I get the impression that the only ones who benefited from her 'hold' were her patients and others down-wind of her singing in the bath. . . .
