Sideswipe: October 15: Bit of Rizzo in Styles

Lookalikes: Harry Styles from boyband One Direction and Rizzo from Grease (Stockard Channing).

A different groove

"DJing vinyl in daytime venues can sometimes feel like an open day at Motat," writes Murray Cammick. "At the recent Seafood Central, two boys came up and started asking questions. When I couldn't explain how a vinyl LP worked, I fired back by asking them if they could explain how a CD works ... one of them (the younger one) explained in great detail. On another occasion, I let a kid get a closer look at my turntable. He reached up and tried to scratch with my precious record. I had to just grin and bear it. And at an early evening family-friendly gig - good quality mixers have lots of lights that flash and move and fascinate children - a mother was holding a small child in front of me. I started to explain how vinyl works and the mother politely cut my explanation short with 'He's looking at the lights'. The child was probably not even talking yet."

Message for Don

"This was discovered behind a wall the other day," writes Lesley. "If Don Devon or any of his family still live in Auckland they might like to know that for the past 28 years we have owned the little bach he may have helped build in 1964. It was relocated from Minehaha Ave in Takapuna to Bethells Beach and is now having a bit of a makeover."

In hot water

Best Correction and Clarification. "In our interview with Sir Jack Hayward, the chairman of Wolverhampton Wanderers, page 20, Sport, yesterday, we mistakenly attributed to him the following comment: 'Our team was the worst in the first division and I'm sure it'll be the worst in the Premier League.' Sir Jack had just declined the offer of a hot drink. What he actually said was 'Our tea was the worst in the first division and I'm sure it'll be the worst in the Premier League'. Profuse apologies."
