Top Ten whatever......

[SeanMacGabhann]

I was in a dive bar in San Fran last year and put "Waiting For The Man" on the jukebox. When Lou sang "26 dollars in my hand" the barmaid tutted and say "what's ANYONE going to get for 26 dollars these days?"

Agree about Izzard, his peak was Dress to kill, and it's been downhill since!

Top Lyrics? I'll give you top lyrics...... from the master.

Boys from the County Hell

On the first day of March it was raining

It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen

I drank ten pints of beer and I cursed all the people there

And I wish that all this raining would stop falling down on me

And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink

And mother wake me early in the morning

At the time I was working for a landlord

And he was the meanest bastard that you have ever seen

And to lose a single penny would grieve him awful sore

And he was a miserable bollocks and a bitch's bastard's whore

I recall we took care of him one Sunday

We got him out the back and we broke his fucking balls

And maybe that was dreaming and maybe that was real

But all I know is I left that place without a penny or fuck all

And now I've the most charming of verandas

I sit and watch the junkies, the drunks and pimps and whores

Five green bottles sitting on the floor

And I wish to Christ, I wish to Christ

That I had fifteen more

The boys and me are drunk and looking for you

We'll eat your frigging entrails and we won't give a damn

Me daddy was a blue shirt and my mother a madam

And my brother earned his medals at My Lai in Vietnam

On the first day of March it was raining

It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen

Stay on the other side of the road

'Cause you can never tell

We've a thirst like a gang of devils

We're the boys of the county hell

God Bless Shane

[Brendan]

Are proposing top 10 fairy tales or something?

[Keef]

Brendan, I love jam and cheese, please tell me you were serious there, as I am in a definite minority!!!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I'm there too, but with cheddar and strawberry only.

[SimonM]

A pub in Cambridge used to offer Peanut Butter & Bramble Jelly sandwiches because it was a popular place for young American ladies at nearby Newnham College.

For me crisp hot streaky bacon & HP Sauce (in white bread!) does it every time.
