A clogging! Surely a clogging must be dealt out here! " style="max-width:100%;"] Helmut bach, could you come to within 2 metres, please? Just a little matter I need to discuss with you... *takes clog in one hand, reaches for long pointed stick with the other* I was about to, but then BSJ's presence giving you advice about punishing methods made me think twice, and my final conclusion is...

Always ahead of his time, Jeff would sit in a lone armchair by the shore to keep other people at least two metres away from him. He called it "seashell distancing".

jeff was so impressed with the sheer volume of salamanders in his garden pond that he contacted guinness book of records to see if he had actually claimed the title of owner of the most reptiles of that type in one garden pond. inspired by this he named his next album 'a newt world record' but this was cruelly mis-titled by a deaf telephonist in the jet offices........ I second Timeblue Thirded!

With touring out for the moment, good to see Jeff's staying afloat by using his other skills.

Thankfully, Jeff and the seagulls changed their minds after seeing the first draft of the album cover.

Mel was the first of the band to actually get a ticket. (Hugh was supposed to come with him, but overslept and missed the launch, leaving Mel to haul the luggage.)

Whenever ELO played in Scotland, Hugh would proudly show off the McDowell tartan.

For Colin, it was either rock n'roll stardom or how to look after a pigeon...

Growing up in Shard End, the teenage Jeff would earn pocket money by looking after small children.
Local mums would nod approvingly as they told each other how well he coped. Sometimes with three or four babies sitting on his knee.
