A real woman doesn't bat an eyelid when a real man farts very loudly.

Sophie, you're a real breath of fresh air. Real men everywhere can feel encouraged to just be themselves, and about time too.

So to sum up.... real men = masculine and real women = feminine. Quite simple really. Vive la difference!

My feet My poor feet, they're always neglected - Stand on them all day Covered up and restricted I hardly look at them Just take them for granted. Even in the shower They get the least attention If it wasn't for toe nails To clip I'd never visit them! And yet they're still faithful And never let me down No matter how badly treated My feet wear the crown. So please be upstanding Whilst I solemnly declare To all you good readers That I love them, my pair.

Making Plans For Nigel - XTC. Makes me cover my ears and run for the door.

I admire your community spirit, AllforNun. Something for everyone. (tu)

Nothing wrong in a bit of alcohol-induced melancholy once-in-a-while, RD! I like how songs sometimes weave themselves into our emotions and experiences so they are inextricably connected. One of my earliest song-related connections was 'Lily The Pink' by The Scaffold (don't laugh). I remember our class having to sing it in music lessons, urged on my Miss Scott, our very enthusiastic Scottish teacher. 1967-8 I think. Sadly, I was still too young to remember other classic 60's stuff, although the chorus to 'Grocer Jack' still invades my conciousness from time to time.

My punk/new wave top ten: Into The Valley - The Skids White Riot - The Clash Ever Fallen in Love with Someone - The Buzzcocks Perfect Cousin - The Undertones Echo Beach - Martha and the Muffins She's so Modern - Boomtown Rats New Rose - The Damned Message in a Bottle - The Police Pump It Up - Elvis Costello No More Heroes - The Stranglers

My first ever concert was to see the Buzzcocks and The Slits. I quickly learned never to stand near the stage at a punk concert....!

Thanks guys all for your contributions so far - some great classics amongst them (Bread, Eagles, The Jam, New Order to name but a few!) and there's some songs listed here I don't recognise (Burlesque/Family?) so I may venture onto Youtube to find them.... There's only one song that I didn't like - The Reflex/Duran Duran (sorry Jeremy) but horses-for-courses as they say. I liked the personal touch from TLS - sets the scene nicely. My own selection comes mainly from my Navy days when I was into punk, new wave and new romantics - I so nearly put Ghosts by Japan in there, and The Jam's Tube Station at Midnight. I really enjoyed researching the songs on Youtube - brought it all back!

I enjoy listening to Steve Wright on Radio 2 and particularly his golden oldie 1/2 hour, when listeners send him their favourite singles from before the 90's and he plays them back-to-back. If you had the chance, which songs would you pick? Here's some of mine, for starters.... 1. Echo Beach - Martha and the Muffins 2. Will You - Hazel O'Connor 3. Night Boat To Cairo - Madness 4. Walk On By - The Stranglers 5. Head Over Heels - Tears For Fears 6. Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles 7. Mr Blue Sky - ELO

Oh I see why the Velvet Touch film clip may have affected you! It was funny though.... Also I suggest your idea of stitching naked chavs together may not make the most comfortable sofa.

In retrospect, considering your plans for a new velvet sofa, perhaps this clip is more appropriate...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYRv_07Aep8

Fantasy intact......

Sorry I missed this one! Glad you all had a nice time. See you at the next one, all being well....

I've been inspired to write a new poem, with a local bias...... Green and Blue We met in Green and Blue On a rainy day last June You were after a nice red To go with pasta, you said 'That's odd, so am I,' I lied - Just to stay by your side 'Maybe a Chateau-Neuf-du-Pap... Or a nice Merlot, perhaps' We stared at the racks of red In silence as we read, Vaguely concious of the rain Falling gently onto window pane. And so, as grapes on the vine Must be picked at the right time, I knew my moment had come To ask you the question... 'We could share....the bottle...I mean..' (God, suddenly I felt fifteen) Still staring at the racks You smiled and said, 'perhaps..'

That's just outrageous jjf... very naughty
