So OK, the horse breading is their business, but still, they have a lot of those dogs roaming around their house!

Good on them Alias....I feel for those greyhounds, that reach retirement because I have known owners to have them put to sleep, because they can't earn them money...How sad and awful is that? I guess its the same with horses??? Not sure. I hate cruelty to animals. I could kipper slap the owners.  :'(

Cruelty towards children and animals is the lowest of the low.

I'm sure Charlie Watts was bald about 20 years ago, I often wonder where he got his new hair from  ;D

And that it makes my blood boil. I was reading a few weeks ago about dog fights in Lincolnshire and county here in England. I'd like to see the owners of these animals not only locked up, but jailed. 

When is comes to children, I find it difficult to talk about, but silently I hurt and get so annoyed with myself for not supporting the groups that fight day in and day out....I just can't stand to read about it, yet I can watch documentaries when I am on my own...but afterwards it makes me feel depressed at the fact that those that abuse children are not locked away and in some cases are given a minimal sentence then they are on the streets again....It sickens me.

Was he bald? If he was, he probably had new hair sown on his skull like Elton John!
Charlie Watts was working in a men´s clothes shop in Denmark at some point in his youth, then he became a jazz drummer, which he still is. He has his gigs in a little club in London. Seems to be a man of habit - also he never got divorced, same wife all those years!

Thought he was Alias but am beginning to wonder, I seem to be a bit confused tonight.  Yes, I didn't realise he was a jazz drummer. Does he play at Ronnie Scotts, that's the best known Jazz Club in London.

I don´t know the name of the club, but he has played there for years. He never let the jazz go, even after he joined the Stones.
I don´t remember him being bald.

I'm talking 20 years ago but you're right I may have been hallucinating  ;D ;D ;D  Have seen a few comments on line about him being bald.  Don't suppose it really matters anyway  ;D ;D
