100 years of the Girl Guides
February 2nd, 2010 admin
At a Boy Scout rally at Crystal Palace in 1909 a group of girls turned up and demanded something for them; luckily Scouting founder Lord Baden Powell was thinking along the same lines, and the Girl Guide movement was formed. A century on, the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts has 10 million members in more than 140 countries, and in the UK the Guides are the largest youth organisation in the country, with 550,000 members. …

Perfect Day - Cover...This is my version of Lou Reed's "Perfect Day" along with 'Walk On The Wild Side' probably his most widely known song. Below are some facts about the song. "Perfect Day" is a song written by Lou Reed in 1972, originally featured on Transformer, Reed's second post-Velvet Underground solo album.
