I think that you are both right in that you are both wrong.

Do you think thyat Helter Skelter inspired Playground Twist?

I loved that song.

I like the first half...I dislike the middle.....I love the end.

I think he reaches for notes too much on the whole though.

1. Read these lyrics 2. Digest 3. Go and play Pet Sounds I can hear so much in your sighs And I can see so much in your eyes There are words we both could say But don't talk, put your head on my shoulder Come close, close your eyes and be still Don't talk, take my hand and let me hear your heart bea...

2. Is it a song by Husker Du. I don't know which one. Not my bag. My brother plays them a lot. 3.

Are we using the surnames or the first...

I'm with Otis..........dire!

Bet your head hurts by now Sulks ?

Spooks loves a man who loves wine. My partner does not. She has seen what it does to me on a Saturday night!!

Well, I'm totally in love with you Lapins....as are most of the men on this board methinks.

He was an International footballer from Cameroon. He inexplicably collapsed tonight in the second half of a match against Columbia in France. There was not tackle or anything, he just fell down and died. he played for a couple of English clubs and had a reputation for being a really nice guy.

I feel like shit. We had words before the last board crashed,,,although we made up afterwards. Hope he's ok.

Are The Stereophonics boring as fuck ?

Sorry, stupid question.

Noel Edmonds, Keith Chegwin and Maggie Philbin

Careers nosediving or waht ?

Happened to a Northampton town striker a few years ago. dreadful.

Foe's family were watching from the stands as well. God bless them.

Lists are nearly always wank...unless they are on this mesage board of course.

They are always loaded with current bands. The Q ones always make me laugh. Top 100 albums of all time......Be Here Now and Heathen Chemistry anyone ?

Happy birthday Sulks!!

Just think.....you're still younger than Presley was when he croked on the toilet.

Ps. The photo was great. the fantasies are going strong.

Hey, I forgot. I love Blue Moon of Kentucky.

This is really great fun. I don't have a digital camera, but can i scan i picture and send it to Spooks - will that work ?

Re: For the Stars Many EC fans seem to dislike it intensely - I take it for what it is. Not really an EC album, but one he had a lot to do with.......the midwife if you like. The album contains some great Elvis songs and people either love or hate Von Otter's voice. Personally I think Green Song is ...

I tried to saty out of it becasue Otis is my new found friend and I would appear biased. LET'S DANCE IS BLOODY AWFUL!!!!

It also contains Modern Love. I hate that crappy song.
Reminds me of lots of New Romantics with pink hair prancing around the dancefloor in baggy trousers and spats.
