It's ANDY Samberg! But you definitely would've had my vote for D*ck In A Box.

crap - you're right. But's it's certainly not the first time I've been a nitwit lately!

I have fixed my shameful error.

THANKS DAPPLED ! Sweet Caroline has already made it before.

Well, I did it last week - nominated one that had already been in the Ten.

However that was only picked up right at the end of voting !

Martin and I have discussed this and decided that, as only 5 people voted for Sweet Caroline so far, we'll ask them to give us a replacement.

That's edna, The Seeker, CanAm, Shawna and Kevin.

I've taken the liberty of moving the songs they voted for after Sweet Caroline up by one position. edna provided a #11, so I made that her #10. Also Fintan has given us his. Can we pretty please get a #10 from the other three nice people ?

Thanks very much for your patience and co-operation.

[Lucky]

Good Lord! Two weeks in a row. I suppose with as many songs as we have voted into the top ten (750 songs including this week!)), it's bound to happen!

[edna]

Thank you, Darryl!! I Guess it must be "I should have known better"... it´s ok.
