I feel somewhat unworthy, since I've only got a couple of these and then only after someone else! But it's a great game, and we can't let it die (sob)! So here goes:

Get me on the boil and reduce me

To a simmering wreck with a slow kiss

To the back of my neck

Carve up my heart on a very low flame

Separate my feelings then pour them down the drain

Gigi, I flounce at the very thought.

Ronniemamma, no it's not Tori. Closer to home.

Sorry for the offence. It was uncalled for. I retract. Cathy Denis? Kirsty McColl, Joss Stone with a bottle of hair dye?

OK, yes it's one of those. It's a sad, life-has-passed-me-by, why-do-I-always-choose-the-wrong-men song.

OMG Moos give me a break - I've got the T-shirt. If I actually listened to those songs I would need to open a vein. I'm withdrawing now to self-harm.

That was meant to be a clue to the songwriter - I like the way she can address these topics with humour. Here are the next few lines, which with my smutty sense of humour I always chuckle at

Close my eyes and sweeten me with lies

Pierce my skin with a few well chosen words

Now you can stuff me with whatever you've got handy

And on a cold grey day a cold grey man will do

... and here's a large single malt, now pull yourself together, woman.

OK if we're going with *men are bastards* (and they are) then it's Kirsty McColl. Very funny lady, wrote some great songs, lovely hair, came to a premature bad end. Unfortunately, I never liked her voice so I don't have anything on my ipod I guess with. I'm out.

Yes, it's Kirsty! As you say, not very good singing voice - but I chose her cos I like the lyrics.

Still, if there are no fans on the Forum, should I withdraw my entry and hand over to someone else?

Not in the least Moos, Kirsty had the good sense to sing on the finest Christmas record ever made, I refer of course to Fairy Tale Of New York. A shrewd move on her part, because if you think her's isn't a great singing voice then who better to duet with than Shane MacGowan?

Altough that said I like Kirsty's voice, and for that matter Shane's. Let's call them vocalists. Good enough for me.

And Giggi it's your turn now.

Although I've just realised that Atila's one remains unanswered, perhaps it might be good form to ask him to reveal it to us as we admit defeat.

AR we've cudgeled our brains, Googled like the low cheating bastards we are (well I did and I've not done it before and nor will I ever do it again) so please put us out of our mystery and give us the song.

Thanks

I think I caused confusion when I hijacked the thread on Saturday morning - now it's chaos. I'm contrite of course, but what to do?

Atila is ignored and Moos is perplexed. A stewards' enquiry is called for *

* Hoochie, as in "Feck the stewards, a trip to Lourdes wouldn't give the fekkers the power of sight". Sorry - I couldn't help myself there.

Moos I'm terribly impressed. If you're going to flounce properly then there's nothing like a red heel. They're the best.

Hee hee!

You've even got the right album!

"Then I met an Englishman - ohhhhhhhhhhh, he said.

Won't you walk up and down my spine

It makes me feel strangely alive

I said - in these shoes?

I doubt you'd survive...."

Have quite often made a tit of myself singing it to myself when plugged into the iPod.

- Be careful in local shops

  There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year.

- Be careful in local shops
  
  By Sue · Posted 1 hour ago
  
  I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
- Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!
  
  By Sue · Posted 1 hour ago
  
  As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
