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.

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
