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).

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.

      What helps you keep on top of your home?

      By Angelina · Posted

      I disagree with the who concept of tidying one room at a time. I find it's more effective to increase the overall level of tidy by 10% regularly, and take regular breaks.  Always straighten your bed first - your bed is your priority and your haven. Change the sheets if you have clean ones to use. 1. pick up all rubbish around the house; take it out. 2. pick up all crockery etc that needs a wash: put it all in one place and start to sort it out. Wash and dry whatever you can put away easily. Wash things by type - I'll do cups then plates, then cutlery, then pots..... 3. Kitchen surfaces - tidy things you can, be ruthless - everything is going to need a home. Sweep the floor, wipe the surfaces. 4. Pick up all laundry around the house. Start to sort it out so you are in control of it - wash types together - eg all sheets.  4. bathroom - so on..... Then, the entire house is an better environment. and you can just keep going.

      There was me overcome with memories of articles in women's magazines from the 1950s advising their readers how to be a good housewife and thinking it's like feminism never happened. Until I read the last paragraph. Be warned, this is PR from someone who runs a cleaning company.

      Carpet can be a pain at times, the maintenance takes effort. I’ll look into that spray as a handy in-between for freshening things up. Steam cleaners are becoming more popular too and definitely seem more hygienic than a mop and bucket.

      BAD ADVICE FROM HOLLAND & BARRETT

      I've found it quite a useful thread.  Apparently protein powders are toxic. Not that I have ever, or will ever, try them.   https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-hidden-dangers-of-protein-powders
