    Nice one GEF! I saw it before I read your line to check out the reg! I'm sure you felt very safe travelling in that plane! Like there was a guardian Angel on it!!

    Interesting book RKN!

    Default Eagles reference

    The "talk on the streets" comment was in a book by Alex Hailey called Detective.
    The other mention came from a book called Almost Midnight by Michael W. Cuneo that is a true crime book. The murderer, Darrell Mease is described as "...drinking whiskey, listening to the Eagles and Creedence Clearwater Revival on a transistor radio."

    Default Eagles mentions

    OOOPS! The author of Detective is Arthur Hailey, not Alex. I just love it when I see an Eagles reference when I'm reading.

    Indeed!

    In my English Text Book this year were the Eagles also named in a story, that was really cool to read!

    Gosh MH! We never had English texts books like that when I was a student!!

    I have been having a rather tedious 3 weeks marking our State exams. There is one question where there is a table of charges for a fun park and the candidates had to work out different price combinations. The first question on it was

    'How much does it cost for one adult to spend a day in Funworld on....... 20th MARCH?

    Well every time I read that line it reminds me that myself, MF, GEF and my daughter TT were definitely NOT in Funworld that day!

    We were having a world of fun elsewhere!

    Haha! Indeed!

    In my Final exams of High School there was a story about something what happend on April 3rd and that every student should know about that because they all where there, I was thinking when I read te story "I wasn't there with Stephanie at that day..We were enjoying of Don and Glenn".

    I take it none of your devoted family saw you take that pic GEF . Amazing what you can accomplish on a trip to the ladies!

    Woo hoo hoo, GEF! I like that plane registration! The only thing missing from it is the word "in". You know, G_FINBED.

    Becky, it's ALWAYS cool when you're reading a book and come across a reference to your favourite stars! I was obsessive enough to look Elvis Presley and The Beatles up in a dictionary I used to have, and I found them!! More recently, I looked up the Eagles, or the individual members (well, actually I just looked up Glenn Frey ), but no luck there, unfortunately.

    Mrs Henley, you sure have a cool text book. Text books weren't that exciting when I was at school. I do remember a reference to a song by The Beatles, "When I'm Sixty-Four" (it featured some of its lyrics), in one of my English text books.

    GA, we certainly had the time of our lives on 20 March!


    I've got a peaceful, easy feeling
    And I know Glenn won't let me down
