  1. I see, but I thought the idea was to take a word from the previous title and use it in the next posting or you post a title by the same group. Or have I lost the plot?
  2. How does "Besame Mucho" - The Beatles, follow "It started with a kiss" - hot chocolate?
  3. We gooners really need to find some different and original chants, the "stand up if hate Tottenham" is SO boring!!!
  4. Come on mockney, you know what I mean. As a paying punter you have a right to voice your displeasue. Of course a theatre goer wouldn't stand up and chant ( I don't know though). If you pay for something, no matter what it is, you have right to expect a certain standard of service, entertainment, whatever. If I go to a restaurant and get served food which isn't up to scratch, I voice my displeasure. I have booed a performance at the theatre before now, and have applauded loudly when I thought the performance was excellent . I work pretty hard for my dosh, unfortuantely, so I like getting my moneys worth. It always makes me smile when I hear so called pundits expressing their displeasure at crowds booing or jeering players/teams. What makes them so special. We all work for the filthy lucre.
  5. It started with a kiss - hot chocolate

Given the amount poor mugs like me and hundreds of thousands of others pay week in week out, I think it gives us the right to voice our displeasure. I certainly wouldn't stoop to racial abuse, or personal abuse, but I have every right to comment on the performance, just as a theatre goer would. Footballers are paid huge amounts of money and supporters pay through the nose. So, yes I think I'm entitled to an opinion, and to jeer. After all, if I and all those who go through the turnstiles and subscribe to Sky decide enough is enough, these people would be screwed. Why should sportsman be different to everyone else?
  7. Setantas offerings during the past week have been rubbish, I hope the Pool but up a better showing tonight.
  8. Vote for your favourite supermarket??? Fecks sake, get a life.

  17. Work to do - again another tune that I don't think was ever a hit, but I know of 3 terrific versions, Isley Brothers, Main Ingredient and the Average White Band.
  18. Arsenal are screening the game against Fulham at Ashburton Grove for ?15 a pop, not sure if I fancy it.

He was for me, and still is, the embodiment of some of the finer human qualities. I'm still full of respect for the fact that when he refused the draft for Vietnam, he said something like " No Vietcong ever called me nigger" A man at the top of his game refused to give up his ideals. Not many people who inhabit our f**ked up planet can say that. Respect to the man that is Ali.
  20. The sound of the crowd - Human League
  21. No fun at the fair - Bobby Goldsborough
  22. Oh I wept - Free
  23. Ain't it funky now - James Brown
  24. Not sure if this tune was ever a hit for either artist, but "A Soldiers things" by Tom Waits (brilliant) and murdered by Paul Young (disgraceful). Just a footnote, none of my song/music related postings have been googled, wikipied'd, or gleaned from the net. I either own the tunes and songs I refer to or know about them from collecting music for nearly 40 years. Yes, I know it sounds smug but I do love music and sometimes can't help being a bit of an anorak.
  25. Sean, maybe it's just me, but I feel no different ( attitude wise anyway) now than when I was 16. My body obviously is nothing like that of a 16 year old but in general I don't think my outlook has changed hugely. I'd like to say I'm perhaps a little more wise than I was, but I'm not sure that's true. That's becasue I have this stupid knack of making the same mistakes year in, year out. But hey, that's life.
