  1. Sadly, yes. Do you not have any work to do?
  2. Hi Lissy. So... looking forward to school or not? Lissssy again
  3. Right here. 500000 things are distracting me and this thread is one of them. Lissy again?
  4. [big]THE SEVENTH SONGFACTORS' CHOICE ULTIMATE TOP TEN - ROUND 4[/big] - No nominations are required, as the songs have been selected from our 25 top tens. - Voting rules will be exactly the same as the normal top tens - rank your favourite songs in the list from 1-10, and 10 points will be given to your number 1 song, 9 for number 2 etc. - We realised it would be ridiculous to expect people to come up with a top ten from all 250 songs, so I have seeded the songs and split them into fair groups. - The results will be announced in about five days from the start date of this thread. - This is Group 4 of 5, and this group contains 50 songs. I will then combine the five top tens together to form a group, and then we will vote on these songs to form the Ultimate Top Ten. Group 4 2,000 Light Years From Home - The Rolling Stones (1967) 99 Luftballons - Nena (1984) All The Way From Memphis - Mott the Hoople (1973) Any Time At All - The Beatles (1964) Be-Bop-A-Lula - Gene Vincent (1956) Beat It - Michael Jackson (1982) Bloody Well Right - Supertramp (1974) California Sun - The Rivieras (1964) Call Me The Breeze - J.J.

  5. I can see why you are reluctant, but it makes a whole lot more sense than any other decade right now.
  6. "Old woman!" "Man!" "Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?" "I'm 37." "What?" "I'm 37, I'm not old!" "I can't just call you man!" "You could say Dennis." "I didn't know you were called Dennis!"
  7. How about letting a third-party person not involved with Songfacts or any of its members randomly draw numbers out of a hat?
  8. ^ way too much rum... anything involving tea shouldn't make me tipsy Now I'm having rolo.
  9. What do you want people to call you though? I can't really think of anything besides Ma'am/Sir.
  10. It'll be really difficult narrowing it down to only two nominations though!
  11. Apparently if a foreign object touches the ball, the game is stopped and a drop-ball is awarded.
  12. "The striker shot towards goal, but his effort hit a large red ball which had been thrown on to the pitch from behind Pepe Reina's goal, and the deflection completely wrong-footed the keeper, whose protests fell on deaf ears after referee Mike Jones had consulted his assistant."
  13. An hour ago, Liverpool were playing Sunderland -- a Liverpool kid threw a balloon on the pitch, the ball bounced off it and completely confused the goalkeeper... 1:0 Video Really shouldn't have counted though.
  14. I like how the Top Ten is spread out pretty evenly over the decades: Top Ten Archive
