Yeah, I did read the bit about not being able to use the name of the artist but since loads of other people seem to be doing it, I assumed the rules had relaxed a bit since 37 pages ago. See the one above which went from "Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks" to "My Generation - The Who".


I'm quite happy to follow the rules of the game, but they seem to keep changing!

Nobody's Child - Hank Snow


A song that could draw tears from a wheelbarrow.


"I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child I'm like a flower just growing wild

There's no mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles

Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child


I was slowly passin' an orphan's home one day

And stop there for a moment just to watch the children play

Alone a boy was standin' and when I asked him why

He turned his eyes that couldn't see and he began to cry

People come for children and take them for their own

But they all seem to pass me by and leave me all alone

I know they'd like to take me but when they see that I'm blind

They always take some other child and I'm left behind

I'm nobody's child...


No mother's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry

Sometimes it gets so lonely here I wish I could die

I walk the streets of heaven where all the blinds can see

And just like for the other kids there'd be a home for me

No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles nobody wants me I'm nobody's child"

    • I took it to mean that he was going to present all sides of the argument (for want of a better term) rather than just giving his own opinion. I didn't take it to mean that he was calling "his own views" balanced.
    • I just did this survey. There are a number of problems with it. For example, in at least two questions you have an option "other, please specify" but there is no way to specify what the "other" is. Also, you have several questions where if you have nothing appropriate to answer, you get a statement "this is a required question", or words to that effect, so you have to put in something like "nothing" in order to move on. Can I suggest that this is likely to confuse people so they just give up half way through? Maybe you should test it out on a few people before going "live" with it?
    • I went to Brockwell Lido on a hot day last summer to do some lengths. It was busy.  I kept getting other people's hair, which was floating around the pool, tangled in my hands. It was gross. I'm not sure if that was unusual, or if it's always like that on a hot day. 
    • Didn't engage him in conversation but I think he was just 'collecting' for a 'charity' - without ID or anything else. Something to do with rehabilitation. They don't seem to bother with dusters. Which is probably a blessing.
