I can accept one tiny, discreet tattoo. Suzi Quatro has a little star on her wrist. I'd never consider getting one myself.

Yakuza tattoos are works of art. Not the tattoos we see in the West.

I remember watching Suzi play squash at my local club in Brentwood, Essex, near where she lived in the 70s [Quatro moved to England in 1971].

It was around 1975, she was playing with her partner - long-time guitarist, Len Tuckey, who she married in 1976 - dressed in the complete sports attire - very short white dress and frilly underwear

I can state she has, at least, another tattoo somewhere else too. Allegedly

Was the squash court in the Brentwood Centre?

I was stage crew manager for Englebert Humperdink there in 1989!





It was a fiasco :(
I've been talking about writing a book - 25 years of TEFL - for a few years now. I've got it in me.

No. it was dedicated Club in Warley - Brenfield Squash Club

Twelve courts I recall

Coincidentally my brother and I were communicating this morning about the England Open Snooker Competition which is being held at the Brentwood Centre.

He reminded me that in 1988 he and my dad went and watched Dennis Taylor beat Tony Knowles 9-7 in the first round.

Why would you be surprised? It's just a bunch of uptight old timers around here!
