    Yet another oddball and topical post from McLeod. To my beautiful hippie friends at random thoughts, with love.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BKRZTalEys"]YouTube - Rowley Birkin QC - Cairo

    A special prize rep goes to the first person who can name the band who sang "Fire in Cairo" many years ago. If you google it I will know!

    :love:

    Yes. Rowley Birkin QC is an undiscovered prophetic genius of the 90's ;)

    Amongst his other prediction were that cheese would rise in price across the globe, people would grow older and Britain would have another Prime Minister by the year 2010!

    That is indeed the correct answer. They also wrote a song called Killing an Arab. Well done.

    Me neither. Don't know anything about it.

    Cool that you were around in the day. I was old enough to remember that, but sadly my parental guardians were prudes and didn't allow me watch top of the tops until I was about 14, when they began to worry that I might be coming a little out of touch with pop culture.
