This is a true story not one of my made up ELO facts, honest. When me and my brother were on holiday in North Wales with the family we once pinched my Dads spare pair of sunglasses. We found some orange paint and wrote ELO on both of the lenses. When the paint had dried we bet my Dad that he wouldn't walk down Porthmadog high street wearing the glasses. Much to our amusement (I would have been about 14 yrs old) he did with many people saying ello ello to him as he walked past. I was disappointed that the glasses weren't in the loft with my other artefacts, I'll have to check and see if my brother has them. Yup! I used to walk around with a baseball cap my late dad screenprinted for me with E.L.O. on it and all the folks used to greet me the same way...Ello! It used to really piss me off so I would spend my time explaining who the band were but I had no sense the hoers were winding me up.....I also broke up with a girlfriend in that school (using a microphone) with the song "It's over" as my lead in music (on the p.a. LOUD) before playing a gig for lunchtime with my band. She was a headwrecker and a limpet...she just wouldn't leave me alone. So public embarrassment using E.L.O. killed two birds with one stone. A. I got her off my case. B. After the public humiliation and entertainment for the E.L.O. ignorant masses of my school. They all knew who E.L.O. were after that. So cruel! If some lil shit done that to my daughter...well he would need a shoehorn to put a hat on!!! True story.

I love the notebook, I'm keeping my own at the moment and I don't care if it's a bit geeky. ELO brings out the inner geek in most fans. Every CD, every vinyl and every DVD bought as well as every magazine and book. I haven't gone so far as to write down the prices - I'd probably have a shock if I saw how much I've spent. I wish I'd wrote down where everything was from though, half the fun is finding the records in the first place.

H W, I’m going to horn in on your treasure trove to show off my latest and greatest! This incredible T-Shirt was sent to me by a special Welsh Saucy, Toots gal. Who also sent me one of her treasured ELO pins. I don’t think I can ever repay my Toots!

That's great BSJ and very thoughtful of unomusette. Yeah why not wear it and the shades, get a false wig and beard from the $1 shop and start the forum "Jeff selfie" thread

Can't bask in any praise, it was all BSJ's idea. I was just the postal midwife. Shamefully I didn't even know you could get the shirts until she pointed it out to me. She's the best!
