no... hellosailor... think the 'small blue square with the question mark look' is a great improvement over her 'normal' look

Some outstanding contributions from everyone - Queen - always! The Joker by Steve Miller Band? yes (not as bad as Abracadabra tho surely?)


But Quids original Come on Eileen suggestion - that is still the ultimate nightmare for me. I hated it then.. and then was when I was at my most chart friendly... and I hate it more now


As for Madonna/Madge/Esther/ThatblokewholookslikeagirlandeventhoIdontlikeherImight... Material Girl has always stuck in my craw. To do that song in a faux-ironic way but mean it really... and that voice. Awww sheeet I'm upset again now

Candle in the wind (both versions) by Britain's luckiest pub singer......I hated the original, vehemently, don't even get me started on the English Rose or whatever sentimental gushy, crap name that IT was given, I avoided the radio for f*ckin' weeks (and the TV as it happens).

Hate it , hate it, hate it !!!


Also hate ' Raindrops keep falling on my head '.

Omar's There's nothing like this - a doobyweeooo - tautological soft soul nightmare: "we take a sip of cold champagne wine, the rug that we lie on feels divine". Champagne wine, is it, is it, IS IT?


BoyzIIMen, End of the Road - terrible whiny awfulness of unparalleled, frankly staggering arrogance : "You really love me, you just don't realise, you've never been there before this is only your first time"



I want to kill them a lot and then kill them some more

Wuthering Heights is a catchy pop song.

It sticks in your mind, your pop mind that is.

The beauty and elegance of the song can't be overstated, it's timeless and beautiful.

Some mock and of course parody Kate Bush's performance.

You snigger a bit, but soon realise how wrong they are.

And then settle down in the knowledge that Wuthering Heights is a piece of sublime pop genius and anyone who says different will probably attend the Spandua Ballet reunion.


See you suckers.

RosieH, agree with you about Omar. Ludicrous.


But that particular BoyzIIMen song? I thought they got the balance between sentimentality, banal though decent pop lyrics and good harmonies just spot on.

Always tweaked and touched my heart. And it continues to do so.

Always sing along with it. Badly. Very badly.

I'm sorry, but no. No, no, no In all things I bow to your exquisite tastes HB, but in this I'm afraid you're quite quite wrong. Like nails down a blackboard, this bunch of warbling soul-lite barber quarteters bring shame on Motown and pain to my soul. Somebody should gag them with one of their own cricket jumpers while their erstwhile laydeee tells them, "No, I don't ree-ee-eeally love you, never did: your songs are shit, your attitude offensive and your clothes even worse, and your warbly-whining really gets on my tits. This is indeed the end of the road sir, as I am trading you in for a newer, more exciting model, perhaps a Ford Focus or a Peugeot DriveSexy"

Amazingly, for some bizarre reason this post made me think of another song at around the same time called 'living by numbers' by new muzik (I liked that though)!

Yeah, that and 'Man! I Feel Like A Woman'.


I feel like chucking up just thinking about it.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.”
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
