Good day.
No, I've not - and I utterly deserve to have been. I've accidentally left my front door open all day on several occasions.

But then, I'm an 'ace face' round the East End so no-one would fackin' dare turn my gaff over innit.

When in Australia
I discovered how you couldn't trust 7 and 10 year olds to actually close a front door properly.

On many occasions I would come back from dropping them at school to find the door swinging open, sometimes it wouldn't be until I picked them up that evening.

Fortunately I lived in a nice bit without immigrants criminals

What exactly is an "ace face" anyway?
Have you just made it up?

It's a 1960s term for a top mod.

The term 'face' for a 'known geezer' on the mod scene
can be seen in 'The Small Faces' who were diminutive mods - and in the pre-Who 'High Numbers' single 'I'm The Face'.

Ah, of course
Been a while since I saw Quadrophenia. It's not very good, you see

Mods are bent

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 23 Aug 2011, 9:46, Reply)

YOU'RE bent.
Ergo, you are a mod.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 23 Aug 2011, 9:47, Reply)

I have to say
I think I'd have been a rocker. I'm too grubby to have been a mod and I prefer rock'n'roll to soul.

I prefer the film to the music.
The Who were shite by then, IMHO.

I have little time for either
Was never a fan. They played Glastonbury last time I was there - the organisers were good enough to ensure they weren't the worst of the headliners by putting The Killers on as well. I was off watching your mates Tom and Ed

Up to about 1972 The Who were one of the most original and entertaining bands on earth.

Go on then
Give me something to look up - your previous in this respect has been uniformly excellent

'I Can See For Miles'
is one of the best British psychedelic singles EVER.

I also love their first single 'I Can't Explain' with it's Kinks-style tightness. The guitar solo was played by Jimmy Page, fact fans.

Thank you very much
If these songs are "fucking shit" you will be hearing from my lawyers
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 23 Aug 2011, 10:06, Reply)

Oh they are not shit.
By the way - re 'I can see for miles' - at the peak of the psych era only The Who would be so contrary as to release a single with a one-note guitar solo.

I never understood how The Who were mod music
But this could be because by and large I like there music, and think mods are/were bent. Enlighten me Herr Doktor Boyce
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Tue 23 Aug 2011, 10:12, Reply)

The Who were only associated with the mod scene for their first three or four singles.
After that they deserted that scene as it was dying out.

Live At Leeds is fucking awesome
Best general intro to The Who, IMHO

At first I thought you'd spelt "farce" wrong
but yours is good too.
