For some reason the theme tune from Crossroads.

Well the pregnant nun one involved a certain amount of the latter.

But be careful not to spill curry on your new ones 'n' twos.

I'd go along with BB and have Baylen Leonard next door with Amy Lame next to him and Danny Baker on the other side. Upstairs I'd have Tom Waits in no 26 and in no 27 Ross, Chandler, Joey, Monica and Phoebe out of Friends. I'd rent my spare room to Rachel.

Serves 'em right for not having pinball machines. Be a good location for a Wimpy bar.

Good responses, not a charm offensive, but more offensive charm in that you've not said anything much but have invited a response which is either going to have to compound the offensiveness or retreat. Good work.

I think it would have been as you describe, but it is more 'acceptable' than the opposite.

Administrator, I implore you, I think I've been Lounged for less.

Right now it's the drum intro to Rock And Roll by Led Zeppelin, it's on a TV ad for Time Team and it's comfortably lodged.
