Friday's theme will actually be 'office party tunes' and you'll be delighted to know that there's a Black Lace CD behind the advent calendar window. Feel free to pick anything off that but if you can suggest a more credible playlist for the office party then I'd be grateful. What are the essential songs for this year's party that will have them all swinging around the water cooler?

By happy coincidence that's when we're having ours. All bitching and back-stabbing set aside for one afternoon/ evening/ night (depending on how long you can stand it or what the bus service is like) of celebrating "what a great team" we all are. It seems to work every year. For one day, anyway.

Works for the rose-tinted spectacle brigade as well as the bah humbug lot.

"El Vino Collapso"
"I Speakda Lingo"
So often we get Agadoo or The Conga on the radio while these (far superior, IMHO) songs are ignored.

I haven't felt so disillusioned since the time I saw Jon Pertwee swearing and chasing topless wimmin around in "Adventures of a Private Eye" in 1977.

When Chris Norman left Smokie they recruited his soundalike Alan Barton from black lace and had hits all over Europe long after their halcyon days in the uk.
The hits stopped suddenly just like their tour bus.

I am the only one left at work as I have to meet my daughter off the ferry which doesn't get in till 6pm, and there is more snow on the way.
Sleigh Ride by the Ronettes would be good, as using a sleigh is probably the only way I will get home. Hopefully in time for the second hour of the show.
