Well, did you? I certainly didn’t until I started having to do a little Elvis research on the weekend. It’s funny the little things you remember isn’t it.  All i want for my birthday is a grey staffy. Well now you've got one!  Oh me oh my it's only the Elvis wardrobe!  Elvis has now left the building! There I was on the weekend enjoying a beverage in the local hostelry when we had a call out of the blue asking if we could pull out our best ‘Changing Rooms‘ impression to help prepare for a new teenage bedroom which, after being constructed in secrecy whilst he was at school yesterday, would be ready for his birthday celebrations when he got back. After a little deliberation we agreed and this much we knew – it had to feature Elvis, a grey staffy dog and there was a little water damage to the wallpaper (from a shower upstairs) which had to have a little makeover. We only had a couple of days to prepare and then had to get it all done in the time it would take him to go to school and back… Cheers id-iom

It's common knowledge he had a twin (died very young)

That Elvis dresser is really nice--I'd like one for myself. I bet he was pleased as punch. Well done.

Cheers folks - @ tussyville - I will pass that onto the lady who commissioned it as she was asking as the best way to varnish it.

I really REALLY like that How Can I Tell Her stencil of yours. If I lived in the UK, I'd ask you to come over and put it all over my walls!

Wasn't his twin called Jessie Garon. And Elvis's name was Elvis Aaron. I remember there used to be a band years ago called Jesie Garon or that had that name in the band name. Indie band. That's all I know - or think I know. It might all be mis-remembered bollix.

Well done Coach! Jesse Garon was indeed his twin. Your mind isn't failing just yet...

Idiom, I think you've been hanging out in The White Horse too much.

Surely you can't hang out at a local boozer too much? Is that not what they are there for?
