Thompson Twins

[Artichoke]

I dunno about you guys, but when Scott Thompson & Nathan Thompson play in the same team, all I can think about is the 80's hit band THOMPSON TWINS. And in all seriousness, why were they called that when there were three of them?
Hold me now. Oooohhhhaaaahhhhh.........

 

[trevagreene]

yep. remember them well.

 

[Kangalicious]

[Devil Fish]

That's ALL you can think about? You can't even occasionally cast your attention to... I dunno... the game?

Oh look, that dog has a fluffy tail.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

If we lure Mark Thompson as coach we can finally cast the chick.

C'mon, pharro. You know Artichoke's a dreamer.

You're two of a kind.

Both of you searching for some perfect world you know you'll never find.

I had to read this THREE TIMES before it made sense.

I'm guessing you don't mean 'cast' in the fishing sense of the word.

If Warner Bros specifically states that the 'Thompson Twins' movie should be made utilising two footballers and a premiership winning coach, this would be the scenario

While I know you are taking the preverbial, the name was a reference to characters out of Tintin.

 

[The Teflon Dean]

yep. remember them well.

A credit to the hair dressing industry.

This is the type of song you always hear on the radio but never bother to find.

 

[mav-1]

Average at their peak and beyond their use by date. Pretty much spot on!

 

[windsock]

The lead singer is what you'd get if you crossed Mick Passmore with Aaron Baddeley.

 

[BoomerRoo]

OMG! I'm now having "80's Flashbacks of Howard Jones!"
Now where did I put that Racey cassette?

Yeah two bureaucratic types who both looked exactly the same but one was spelt "Thompson" and the other "Thomson".
