“The Prince” by Madness came n he tunes on way home, it came out when I was 18. It was amazing and a great start of the new Ska era…It was the 3rd new major era of major music changes that I had enjoyed. Glam, Punk and Ska.. then after that was the Indie era and nothing since 🤷🏼‍♂️

Me and missus are 6 episodes in to The Prisoner series and it’s just as messed up as when I first watched it. Enjoyable but a little mental.Be Seeing you 👌 “ I am not a number! I am a free man!”

It’s that time…

It’s that time.

Christmas lights down Main Street

The Pompey in Canada Supporters group want to wish all Pompey fans around the world a very merry Christmas.. here’s to a better second half of the season PUP #Pompey #PortsmouthFC #PUP

Really deserved a lot better than not getting to No.54 on the UK charts in 1980 “Sweetheart Contract” by Magazine is very underated imo 🤷🏼‍♂️

Had a Pompey in Canada Calgary area meet up for chat, beers and grub (poutine of course) today was great to celebrate the 3 points #Pompey

A very good friend took me record shopping today and I was happy with my haul.😀

42 years ago today the girl from Landport and the Boy from Paulsgrove got married at St Mary’s in Fratton.. been some journey 😀

Never gets old or unfunny 😀

Given as an OG but that’s Segs goal for me.. Was knocking to far post but slight deflection took it in

Some goal from Swanson #pompey

This was an underated single. "18 carat love affair" by The Associates, it got to No.21 on the UK charts in 1982 . Always amused me that It was a double A side with a copy of Diana Ross's Love hangover 😀

Current Ear worm 🤷🏼‍♂️ From nine to five, I have to spend my time at work My job is very boring, I'm an office clerk The only thing that helps me pass the time away

I’m near enough a baby then 😎

Had to take a pic to request service for a leaking Hose Bib at work, but all I can see is No.5 from Short Circuit looking out a hole in the wall.

One night in 1981 your in a night club in Southsea and you meet this bird from Landport… you get married and 45 years later you know she is the craziest mental bitch that could be.. you also know you love her and couldn’t do without her at all. Pompey shit at its finest .

Saw this on FB Nov 78… first season in the 4th, wasn’t spectacular but kinda steadied the ship. Only other Pompey connection I can see is Goddard for Newport who later broke his leg at Fratton park. It was a very loud crack and could hear it all over the park.

#weekendsingles Kirsty MacColls (RIP) late 80s cover of the Kinks and 3 different fun 70s tunes that got a spin.

November 1976, very poor season and even though we just survived and avoided relegation,we went down to the 4th the season after. Look who scored both goals against us and some other Pompey interest scoring elsewhere too.

Only found out 5 days late the one of the most underrated Albums ever, has finally came out on Vinyl. Blondies “ No Exit” oh yes.

Bit later with the time difference for #weekendsingles but it was a disco kinda morning

Vinylholics anonymous anyone 😀

That’s better #Flames

Someone let me look through some old Trouser Press magazines, a US music paper from the 70s and 80s.

Just watched the original 1976 “Assault on Precinct 13” in the first time in 40 years. What a bloody good film it is for a lot of low budget names.

Today in 1979 the Legendary 😎 Phil Ashworth made his Debut against Darlington, He scored two decent goals and I thought hello we are onto something here… the rest is history as they say.

Oh, beautiful baby My burning desire started on Sunday Give me your heart and I'll love you till Tuesday.. Had this on the start and end of our wedding video from Dec 83.. I just don’t think we have decided what Tuesday 😀 youtube.com/playlist?lis...

This is So late 70s it’s unreal😂 Dodgy wallpaper and carpet, Fred Perry Trainers, Black Cords, Ski Jumper, Harrington style jacket and the common Gold St Christopher. No idea what I asked for to get that Haircut either 😀

Oi Older Pompey fans .. iykyk

Just heard “Emotion” by Samantha Sang.. not really my music then but it did remind me of having left school and well into my Electrician Apprenticeship,and having money to spend. Buying Clothes, going to nightclubs and more away games with Pompey. It was a carefree happy time. youtu.be/zPwpVJ-eIgg

Saw this on FB…how many can you get?

The two nearest Programmes to when me kids were born #Pompey

Dec 1978,this was the first time I saw The Clash .. it was a good time to be young.

Released in late 79, Cairo with “I like Blue Beat” really should have been a hit. Still gets regular spins from me and is great little single. youtu.be/im-BKTX7lns

As Debut Albums go,this was a good one... Elvis Costello released “My Aim is True”in 1977

Scrolling through Pompey pics and this came up.. one for the oldies along with the Brickwoods sign on the stand.

This was a decent punk/ new wave single from 1979…before he turned into the Dandy Highwayman.

😀

I'm going to form and name a punk band after today's headline in Adelaide's daily newspaper 🤣🥰

Hopefully an uneventful one

Hampshire won a game or two with this team .. great memories of Burnaby Road in the school holidays and a trip or two with dad around the other county grounds.

Building the trap was kinda cool and all that but what was the actual point of the game 🤷🏼‍♂️

What a sleeve

Went to a wedding then to the game then to the reception 😀 The king scoring the only goal in front of 32k at FP in 1976.. only seems like yesterday. #Pompey

Dream house

I’m giving up on Bluesky, I know Twitter has some proper loons on it but it is easier to block them out. Bluesky is way too political but way harder to block it out.

Go @stampsroundup.bsky.social Loving the game so far

Nothing more to add other than what a piece of vinyl
