Oh boy... you're YOUNG! Lil Jimmy is the youngest brother of Donnie and Marie Osmond (who sang "Puppy Love" which you may or may not know among other things). Course, Lil Jimmy is now mid-late 30's I believe. The Osmond clan is also well-known for their teeth LOL

Jimmy was on "I'm a celebrity ....." recently in the UK Beany. He's an old git of around forty, seemed like a nice bloke though.

Is he really? I thought he was only a couple years older than me. I saw him a few years ago on "Through the keyhole" :lol:

I asked my dad today, what was No 1, when I was born?
He said, Dunno, but I seem to recall 'Bolero' had a part to play. Written by someone called 'Ravel', but he couldn't remember the name of the group.

According to the results of a Google search, he was born on 16th April 1963, so you are right, he's only a couple of years older than you BeanBully :wink:

hehe, good to see Mud there. They were number one for me too, with their Christmas cheeser "Are you lonely this Christmas?" A shockingly bad track from a shockingly bad year: 1974.

The seventies were horrible, weren't they? The colours! The carpets! The sofas! The curtains in brown and orange! Ghastly. I still shudder when I see pictures of my youth, even though I used to be quite angelical myself thank you very much, the décors are something awful.
This week I am eagerly anticipating the first god shots from my La Spaziale machine....

I have kindly asked my parents (multiple times) to burn all pictures of me made in the 70s... they've refused. :(
