And then there was David Bowie the uber-freak with the mismatched pupils the low-tech space face from the planet Sparkle. This was Bowies third appearance on TOTP but this was the one that properly resonated with its audience the one that would go on to cause a seismic shift in the Zeitgeist. This is the performance that turned Bowie into a star embedding his Ziggy Stardust persona into the nations consciousness. With a tall flame-orange cockade quiff (stolen from a Kansai Yamamoto model on the cover of Honey) lavishly applied make-up white nail polish & wearing a multi-coloured jump-suit that looked as though it were made from fluorescent fish skin (chosen by Ziggy co-shaper the designer Freddie Buretti) & carrying a brand spanking new blue acoustic guitar a bone-thin Bowie appeared not so much as a pop singer but rather as some sort of benevolent alien a concept helped along by the provocative appearance of his guitarist the chicken-headed Mick Ronson with both of them unapologetically sporting knee-length patent leather wrestlers boots (Bowies were red). Most people are scared of colour Bowie said later. Their lives are built up in shades of grey. It doesnt matter how straight the style is make it brightly coloured material & everyone starts acting weird. Suddenly Bowie
- a man called alias
- had the world at his nail-varnished fingertips & in no time at all he would be the biggest star in the world.

Everyone has heard of say the Irish Fusliliers the Glorious Glosters or Royal Scots Greys. But where are these regiments today? What are they called? & what were they called a hundred years ago? The painful & much-resented rationalisation of the British regiments
- which meant amalgamation or simply disbandment
- has been going on since the first regiments were raised in the 17th century according to the perceived needs of the nation in war or peacetime. But it accelerated in the mid-1950s & the task has now been completed on General Jacksons watch in 2007. Anyone trying to follow the name changes of a particular regiment soon gets caught up in & confused by different histories in different books.
