OLD 55 Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 No Diggs Old Mate, I'll keep my digs at you for the Ashes Series. (That's a Cricket Contest between Australia and England which is probably the single most important event in the World). It's great to see you rejoining us in the Top Ten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 There, that wasn't too painful now, was it? Incidentally: are you still having to have the odd Jodrell on doctor's orders, or do you have the "all-clear" by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dappled Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 No Diggs Old Mate, I'll keep my digs at you for the Ashes Series. (That's a Cricket Contest between Australia and England which is probably the single most important event in the World). Talking about crickets; there was a crickets concert last night in Stockholm. 350 specially imported chinese crickets played together with some local jazz musicians at a museum. Swedish radio was there and taped the event for later broadcasting. I'm looking forward to the show with enthusiasm and will give you a notice if and when they will send it on the web.

DiggsUK Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Daryl, we will have to wait and see... BF, I haven't taken the plunge and presented my wad as yet. I know I should, but I just haven't found the time... which is rubbish really as if I wanted to I would have done. I have a bit of a block when it comes to that sort of thing I guess.

Somebody Told Me - The Killers 7. Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol If I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?) 8. Joy To The World - Three Dog Night 9. Rosalita - Bruce Springsteen 10. Trouble - Ray LaMontagne (thanks to whoever nominated this for introducing me to a great song) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakin Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I just discovered Ray LaMontagne myself a few weeks ago, though I don't know that song yet, which is one reason it didn't get a vote from me, but I'll be looking for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Farin, that may well be everyone who's going to vote. I'm not sure when Namahage will be back - hopefully today - and I don't know if Umpire will vote ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dappled, you need to get out more. I used to have a dancing fly once. I kept him in my handkerchief and just took him out for special occasions. At a party (his last) I took him out of my pocket to perform. Everyone was eagerly waiting, except the Hostess. I called out to her "come and see this fly !" and she walked out, said "oh, sorry" and swatted him. (Sob). Ed Sullivan was very disappointed when we had to cancel.

Reminds me of the greatest 5 minute cartoon I ever saw, about a man finding a singing/dancing frog and he thinks he's going to make millions off this fantastic animal. Only problem is that the frog ONLY sang "Hello my honey, hello my baby, hello my ragtime gal ..." and danced the strut, with top hat and cane, for the guy who found him. Whenever he showed the frog to any other person, the frog just sat like a frog and softly croaked, "Ribbit." For a cartoon, it had great thematic strength. Sort of a Lord of the Frogs.

TheLizard Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 S2V, that's one of the greatest cartoons ever! Unfortunately, I can't seem to find it on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Sorry Shawna, and bazooka. I just went back and counted the Nominators before and I thought everyone except Namahage and the mysterious Umpire had voted. Steel, my joke is so old, I'm not sure if it or the award winning 'Singing Frog' cartoon came first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a real set-in-stone deadline, and of course I'm very willing to wait on nominators who want to check out some songs first () but as quite a few members don't get online on the weekends, I'd like to announce them around friday noon (EST) at the latest, so that we still might have some conversation/discussion about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 bravo! Finally I get another song in the Top 10 I didn't nominate it this time, but I orginally nominated "Mr. Jones" a while back. I'll take credit for it even if I have to beat someone up. } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
