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.

    • They used to have dedicated park wardens, who I'm sure used to look after the parks and locked and opened the gates. Years ago I knew someone who was one. I thought they were based in that hut by the toilets. Are they not there any more? The community wardens are attached to the police rather than a specific park, aren't they?
    • Yes, sad how Rye Lane has taken a dive, interesting to see those pics CPR Dave. It's shocking how the section between Choumert Road and the Nag's Head in particular has lost its vibrancy, meanwhile the next section to the top of Peckham Rye Common has gentrified. Wonder why such a distinction in fortunes? Anyway the station square plans have fallen behind yet again, demolition won't now start this summer. The only "work" that will now take place this summer is surveying of the arcade, which they've had 10 years since planning permission to do. At least the replacement TSB branch has progressed but the Blenheim Grove corner building still looks unfinished, despite claims it "is now complete". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/current-and-future-development/peckham-and-nunhead-2
    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?
