How different does that sound to some of our past chairpersons (no names - all in the past)? Warm happy feelings for the first time in a long while...

You're joking right? Or are you a bell-end?

Very good shout that one - I'd go for the intermezzo of Mascagni's Cavallaria Rusticana as the most moving classical piece..

I know what you mean about alternative lyrics, DG! Having spent most Friday nights for 2 years singing (OK - shouting tunelessly...) "I feel so f**ked up, S**T! I wanna go home" I'm always surprised that the Beach Boys know an alternative version! Daydream Believer is a good shout - brings warm, happy memories of mad evenings! It's true what you say about the lack of trouble though - I remember a few "handbags" but it never got seriously out of hand, which is surprising really when you think about how much everyone was steamed up and "buzzed"? I seem to remember that Newcastle Brown was my ale of choice - not for any fashion or taste reasons, just it meant you didn't lose so much beer when people fell over you!

Yes! I remember the first 2! The Bowie one was "Starman", I think? Can't remember the Nirvana one. Ones I sort of remember, but as senility starts taking hold I can't be sure, were: Simon & Garfunkel ("The Boxer"? "Mrs Robinson"?) The Beatles ("Saw Her Standing There"? "Twist & Shout"?) Rolling Stones - "Get Off My Cloud"? Kinks - "You Really Got Me"? And I'm sure there was a Hendrix one?
-
Bizarre, was just thinking about the Frog the other day - anyone remember the songs? (I seem to remember the guitarist was called Derek - I would have been a regular around '82/'83) I used to love screaming Thin Lizzy's "Whisky in the Jar", and there was the alternative lyrics of "Sloop John B." - sure there were some Sex Pistols ones that always ended in in one of the tables collapsing - "Pretty Vacant"? Christmases were great too - "F**k off you big fat b*stard, I ain't going to pull your sleigh"...

Is Mr Liebherr at the game?

Wendy!

To step aside from the FM debate...! Agree with you on Total War - I've put a self-imposed ban on during week days because I can just lose whole days on this!! And I'm delaying buying Empire until I have at least a week's clear holiday.. Still working through the final factions on Medieval II

"Ne Me Quittes Pas" by Jacques Brel; even if you don't speak French it's pretty gut-wrenching... "I've Been Loving You Too Long" by Otis Redding

Gruezi, Herr Liebherr, Merci vilmal!! Widerluege, P.
-
Hah! Try Gruyere or Emmenthal...

But does Thorpie actually exist? Or is he just a front for a consortium of Islamo-Jesuit Scottish rock stars based in Swiss Cottage??
-
Nice one!! Was thinking of working back in the UK last year, but to be paid in GBP and have outgoings in Euro's would be a nightmare at the moment...
-
As I'm paid in Euro's my salary has just passed 100k quid a year Shame all my outgoings are also in Euro's...

There's a very good simulation called "NationStates" where YOU decide the legislation - and you see the consequence of your actions. Have a go!

Were you kid-ding?

Sounds like he's having a bit of a 'mare....
-
Agree with all the sentiments on here - but how do we stop it? The mother is obviously a sick, thick, ignorant f**kwit who deserves to die horribly, but what's the answer? And what were her parents doing?
-
Tragic - poor, poor nipper. Not usually one for knee-jerk, vigilante reaction, but I'd be happy if those 3 responsible for this were lynched.
-
Only got Juve vs Real here on TV - normally avoid Saints matches on here since we tend to lose! Hope to break the jinx tonight; sounds as if we're playing OK?

See they're after Ronaldo and Torres now!
