I do a search for "geldof" on Ebay, and what do I find? This 40" X 60" poster of my favorite Geldof picture ever! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I didn't even bid, I just gave the guy his price, thankyouverymuch. It's now MINE all MINE. My Precious!
I also finally got 5 of my 6 remastered albums from Amazon. I've had to wait a few days more than you guys in the UK, but had it been 20 years ago without the Net, it would have meant months of waiting, and probably a second mortgage on my house to get those 6 albums.
If you can smile in the midst of pain
And laugh at the cares of mankind
You're out of the mire
You're out of the rain
And you're probably out of your mind
Today I went to Malta leading recored shop and asked him for the Rats remasterd CD. He told me that I was the only one to asked him about them and didn't seem keen to order them. If it wasn't for the Internnet I must have to wait for a friend or someone who will be visiting the UK. that's the worst thing when your living in an Island.
I think this thread should be reserved for the females "
oh, I totaly agree, Bob is verry hothothot!! Jut dont know if I prefere him as the evil fachist in the wall or his look now. Must say old men are so attractive, especially if they look like they dont care about their appearence.

SorrySorry!! That was badly expressed I guess, I just ment that I´m not so crazy about people that are overstyleish and that I like Bobs naturual look! And if you compear with me Bob is old but I didnt mean anything bad with that!
That is a great pic, MJ, agreed that used to be my avatar!
eBay is great lol. I've purchased 'Happy Club' and 'Vegetarians' CDs from there and now a BG People magazine, BG/BTR clippings, and a nice BTR poster are all coming my way...can't wait!
And Arnold - don't forget about all his looks before/in between Bob from 'The Wall'(nice avatar, BTW ), and at his age now! He was a very attractive Rat IMO, full of expression and energy. And when he did all of his pre SA&D solo work he looked great, too.
But of course, I loved him in 'The Wall' (how I first knew of Bob in the first place[not from his music!], being from the US) and that fascist look really worked for him and he's still in great shape and attractive at his age now, too, and he's not that old lol. Franna, I agree - I love his hats and style too lol, maybe it wouldn't work for other people but it works for him
I don't have a problem with his style either it is individual and unusual and no-one else could get away with it but him. I love it. As I've said in another post it is only his hair which is a problem and just a shorter cut would do it, I don't mind the scruffiness but not long

Thanks to peer 2 peer, I didn't even have to worry about that! Got them all now, but have had them for a year or two, thanks to broadband.
Now I'm on a mission to find all things Rat related on the internet!
I was just thinking of another great perk of the Internet is to break the isolation for us poor Rats fans stuck in Quebec or Tennessee or Malta. It's great to meet you all guys

Just wanted to make my statement in this thread… lol.
The "fascist" look from The Wall is one of the few Geldof looks that I don't like. I'm not so much into uniforms of any kind, and especially this kind. And I simply HATE the scene from The Wall where he shaves his eyebrows and chest hair off. Not hot at all.

Lol. I like that... And I missed the Seventies too!
Bob is tall, 1,85 m at least, I'd say.
That's a bit over 6 feet, if my coverter speaks the truth ! I don't know which makes more sense to you, feet or meters.
He's either 6ft 2 or 6ft 3, not sure what that is in metres. Have a look at my avatar, I'm 5ft 0. I've also seen him with someone who I know is 6ft 2 and they look more or less the same height.
