![]() | SOOTY GOBOLINO, aka SupercatThe main thing you need to understand about me is that I obssess over things.When I was five I obsessed over books, especially one about a witches cat called Gobolino. I went to visit a friend who's barn cat had just had kittens and one of the kittens bravely marched up to me and attatched itself to me... after frequent visits during which I also became attatched to the cat, my mother said I could bring him home... but she wasn't letting me call him Gobolino cos there was no way she was calling that name outside the front door at tea time. So he was named "Sooty Gobolino". He is supercat, he will live forever, and he is currently nearing his nineteenth birthday. The cat obsession stuck, and spread via Cefa Cat (say it aloud), Jet, Lucky, Macavity, Cilla (she's black), Starr (he used to be called Ringo but that caused panic when people said "Ringo's on the telly" and I'd run to get a video tape... the vets have him listed as Ringo Starr), Jazzpurr, Loony (formerly Lenny, but he has a Keith Moon disorder) and Fred. |
I refuse completely to live anytime except the nineteen sixties, but fortunately I have a few friends who have chosen to live in the past with me. Click HERE for the 1960s gallery.
Another defining moment in my life was when I docovered musicians... my mother brought me up on a steady diet of Neil Diamond and Des O'Connor records so I wouldn't really say that counts. One day however I saw this amazing guy on TV called Ringo Starr and lost the plot. He was a drummer and I tend to like drummers best of all, but there's a few guitarists and singers and bassists I'm stuck on too. I don't have fave musicians, I collect musicians I have that many I like!
