because I don't like University Challenge...'

Just call out my name,
and you know wherever I am.
(Shouldn't that be aim?)

James Taylor.

I am sure there is a technical name for these but my favourite is Undertones - My Perfect Cousin:

Comes back to bite your behind" - the new Girls Aloud song!

Looking for a little romance..."

It's been almost now a year.

And I wish the old girl were here.

I really really really really hate that useless wimpy ditty, and feel like giving CDB a good kicking. (plus he has that queer 'De' in his name as if he's THE only mountain that ever had the name 'Chris'.
Chris Boddington would be extra pleased to know that I handed CDB a good kicking, an' all.

 

[NMH]

That song that goes summat about "our lives, eeee-rased/how we race etc"

I want to give that band a good kicking.
