I think she is quite clearly taking a post-football dip in the communal tub....she's certainly been playing with something.

I know it may be a bit of an odd request...but, if it's going to be answered...it's going to be answered here! Anybody know any songs that specifically mention Mangoes? (preferrably ones that may still be obtainable in the 21st century...not ones your mother sang to you on her knee). Pretty please.

Do you know the difference between a letterbox and an elephant's arse? No?...Well, I'm not sending you out to post my letters. How the hell do you know it tastes like elephant pee?

Sorry...gotta be Mon.

Now that lot would make an interesting noise.

What? No Sting? Good.

Sorry, it's got to be Monica.

He certainly is capable of expressing the full range of emotions from A to B.....but it's that plangent whine to his voice that gets me......with the occasional breathy interlude until he winds himself up to full tosspot mode again. It's awful. And, how Cher never got in the list? Well, I never!

It's Bono that gets me...the pompous, microtonally out-of-tune, bellowing whinge bag that he is. (and no mistake). Ye gods.

I'm not going to dignify that with a response! I can see much more that that...but hey, whadda I know.

It's a totally shite list. Rock - Plant/Paul Rogers/Anne Wilson Folk/Jazz - John Martyn/Tim Buckley/Jewel Soul - Smokey/Marvin/Aretha Everything else...Alex Harvey/Joni Mitchell? Just about does it for me. The rest are 'also rans'.

I come from a family with a long history of maudlin sentimetality...frustrated poets, writers, painters...none of us with a whit of real talent...when we hear/see someone do something beautiful we burst into tears...it's just jealousy really.

Thanks for trying...it didn't work, but thanks anyway. I've got the Furs version...it's the Dresden Dolls version I'd like to hear again...one acoustic guitar, one voice...it's lovely. Makes me cry...oops, that's another thread.

That's actually quite a good question. We had a 'ball' once that had the title of... 'The Director's Ball' which was based on the suggestion that our 'then' director 'had the biggest balls in London' ...the idea was, of course, reflected in all the publicity and even the menu...'Director's Balls Soup' was part of the entree.

I loved JB and both The Pretender and Running on Empty were played to death by me in the 70's...since then I discovered that one of my favourites by him, The Road, was a cover of a Danny O'Keefe song (check him out...Breezy Stories is a hidden classic) and several of his other 'greats' were also covers...but , overall, top talent! Didn't he go through a dodgy 'bitch-slappin' thing with Darryl Hannah more recently? Might he not be the sensitive poet we all know and love.? Still...good tunes, good player...who cares if he's Ike Turner on the sly?

Torn Between Two Lovers - Mary Mc.Whatsit?....So sad (you sort of know it didn't turn out OK, she confessed that he wasn't 'The only one'...and, no doubt, he couldn't handle it, so he killed her and buried her in the garden....I've made the last bit up...but, what the *******!)

Still the Ghost in You....somebody...send me the link please...I'm going crackers.

one-up what?

Monica Bellucci is the most beautiful woman on earth....IMHO Apart fom my wife...of course.

Goldbricker?...can you expand this term for those of us less well versed in idiomatic americana? Cheers JG

The Ghost in You - Psychedelic Furs. Actually I prefer the Dresden Doll's version (thanks BF...it's brilliant!) but it seems to have been edited offa You Tube....if anyone has a link to it somewhere else I'd be most obliged.

God help anything that irritates your consciousness.....be afraid, be very afraid.

Sorry, I thought we had some fancy French film vibe going here....what with the fondue, the rings...the butter...the table...the stolen glances...jumper puppies...the passion errupting....ooops, I've come over all 'BF' now (read that idiomatically please...it's not what I meant in the literal sense).

You and Me - The Delays....it's driving me bonkers.
