Am I the first?

First Xmas song I received was Rolf Harris and 2 little boys had 2 little toys and on the B side was The Ladies of the Harem of the Court of Kung Caraticus Can pretty much remeber all of it still.

Great record both sides. Still get chills listening to 2 little boys.

CB

I'm pretty sure that my first ever CD single i got bought was Sure by Take that.

Debs - That is SUCH amazing news!!! The most mahoosive weight lifted from shoulders i should imagine? In may this year i was in exactly the same position, just offered a job i really needed and floating on cloud 9. I'm so happy for you!! xXx

Looks like you are Girlracer!

The first music that I got - all for me was at XMAS '87 - the infamous NOW 10 - it came complete with my own wee boogie box.

So anything from that -

Barcelona - Freddy Mercury
Sweet Little Mystery - Wet Wet Wet
Or to keep with the Xmas Theme........

Fairy tale of New York - Pogues & Kirsty McColl

Cheers Chris - hope you had a nice holibob

Quack

Um we are slightly disjointed at the mo. Everyone's spent sooo much time on the other blog it hard to tear them away!!!

Normal Service will be resumed shortly!

Quack

either that or they've snuck into the Blog & Post on their way over here!

CLP

Are you telling us something there ..... "my daughter and her mum ..... " ?? Is it a weeny laydeeeeee DJ maturing in the oven of Tash's tum? Should we all be knitting pink booties???

Cheryl the Diva xxxx

Mine would be Dynamite by Mud........ I think..

Good to have you back Chris. Hope you had a good break.....

btw: i entered the ticket lottery for Take That this morning, but just like the ticket lottery for the 02, i was unsuccessful

:-(

Hehe, CB you bring back good memories of being in a gay club in Blackpool and seeing the dancefloor filled with rather camp men all doing the dance for The Ladies of the Harem...

Christmas singles? Or rather singles for Christmas - mine was Only You by the Flying Pickets, I think. Loved it, played it to death. Still like it :-)

AF xx

ps CLP, welcome back!!! We have missed you soooooo much.

pps my favourite *Christmas* song is Baby It's Cold Outside.

ppps two, yep two, job interviews on Wednesday afternoon now. Aaaargh!

I think I have a split personality - don't know where to blog!!!

BM xxx

The first single I ever got as a christmas present was West End Girls - Pet Shop Boys, but the first single I had ever was - oh this is embarrassing - 'Ello John, Got a new Motor by Alexi Sayle.

thing was, I had won a fancy dress party at school and the prize was a record token - I had never bought a record before and didn't really know what I was doing. Honest!

MW, a!

Good luck with the interviews AF.....

Oh hurrah Christoff welcome back and marvellous re. the Christmas songs.

As it happens my first-ever record that I bought as an ickle tadpole, used to drive the DDF Eric up the wall with it on repeat on me little red Dansette, was "Lonely Pup" by Adam Faith.

Happy Days. In the days when I was the first in our street to have a trouser suit, used to leg it to the corner shop for a packet of Spangles and if I'd told me mother Renee I was bloggin' I'd have had a crack round the back of me ear and me mouth washed out with Swarfega.

Clodagh.xx

Crumbs AF - you will be exhausted two in one afternoon!! Good Luck!!!

I'm still trying to remember my first record for Cmas !!!!

Beesmum xxx

You wont be tooooo festive yet will you clp?

Hello!

Bit of a struggle to find this new blog today.........is it always like this at the start of a new month?

Welcome back CLP - hope you feel well rested and ready to rock n' roll!

Congrats to Debbie and good luck to AF.

Hope Bondy is still solvent after the big shopping weekend.

Must dash - bfn

df

The first single that I bought was Madonna, Lucky Star. The first single bought for me was Joan Jett, I Love Rock'n'Roll.

I am so requesting Take That's Shine for ARF this week. Getting in early here hehe!

x x x

CtD - Chris has a daughter from a previous relationship - me finks she's about 20. Could be wrong (am blonde so quite possibly -apologies in advance Chris if I am) but I fink it was wif one of the blondes on Loose Women (??????)

Just caught up with weekend's Blog - OHHHHHH MYYYYYY GODDDDD !(Janice esque stylie!)

Quack

first single i bought - i would do anything for love - but i won't do that - meatloaf - first single I really notcied was either star treckin' the firm or reet petitie by someone - mainly becuase the music videos were so good

Welcome back Chris, we missed you!

The first single I got bought for me at Christmas was, and for once I do apologise, "Long Haired Lover from Liverpool" by Little Jimmy Osmond. I don't think I even liked it that much then.

Crumbs (has anyone used that one yet?)Debbie, I am so delighted you got the job. Want to see a photo of you in your overall and hairnet very soon. What are the hours? I bet you'll have a ball with all those Pilsbury Doughman type bakers. Mind, you'll have to watch you don't turn into a Pilsbury doughgirl with all that bread around!

Whens the big opening of the Advent calender?

Hurrah! It's Advent, Debs has a job and there are NO MORE NEXT BUTTONS!

A x

PS And good luck to you, AF

Phew, found you all!

My first record was Ravel's Bolero. I was really disappointed - I got a really funky record player for Xmas when I was about 9 and the only record I was given was Ravel's chuffing Bolero.

Two little boys - I LOVE that song!!

Diva, I was thinking that ... daughter and her mum ... hmmmmmmmm, was that a slip???

Anyway, off to take more medication so I shall wish you all a good night. And one last time, good luck Debs for tomorrow

T xxx

I guess my "Christmas" single would have to be Young Guns (Go For It) by Wham!

I had the 12" single version and was utterly in love with Wham!'s guitarist, David Austin.

1982, I believe.

Will open Advent window #1 at 5 pm or thereabouts, just before CLP comes on air.

soooooooo exciting!

[I am quite easily pleased, you know!]

df

Cheryl, I think it will be a bell.

T xxx

Hi derbyfi, I am but only just.........

Ah boleyngirl, you aren't allowed out of the site with your uniform on. And they send it off for cleaning.

It's a rather fetching blue outfit, seems wierd doing an admin based job in a uniform but I know some of the technical stuff will be 'hands on'.

Hours are 9.30am to 1.30pm, three days a week. And they are very flexible when it comes to childcare problems etc, you can swap days and hours.

Sounds good to me.

x x x

On the Christmas theme, Renee has just reminded me of a lovely tale regarding when the DDF Eric was a small boy.

The youngest of a brood, Eric had tried hard to be asleep by the time Father Christmas (the old War Hero Granddad) crept down the chimmeney and into his room with his sack of tangerines, a penny whistle and other miscellaneous sh**e that today's ankle-biters would contact Childline over. Therefore once all was quiet on the Western Front, up he went. All of a sudden, all Hell let loose and Eric's roaring nearly brought the roof in. Grandma shot straight upstairs to see all the kids up and surrounding a red-faced and nasty-tempered Father Christmas. "Eric!" says Grandma. "What've I told you? You're supposed to be asleep when Father Christmas comes in or you won't get any presents."

"I WAS," wailed Eric. "But he stood on me bloody hand."

What a hero.

Ctd & Tins - I was Wrong - well sorta! almost but not right - check out CLP on Wikipedia and you'll get my drift.

Soo Mr. Evans the Coburn Spyder WAS yours at the dine and drive!!!!!!!

Qauck

First single bought for me...Crazy Horses by the Osmonds.

And then I can remember all those TOTP albums but NOT by the original artist!

No wonder I never really liked christmas!

Nev

PS Can we assume it is going to be a girl?

first single I bought was 'Green Onions' Booker T & the MG's and the first LP was 'White Feathers' by Kajagoogoo

I think the first LP I unwrapped at Chrimbo was either
Kings of the Wild Frontier by Adam and the Ants
or
NOW 1, (which was just called 'Now that's what I call music')

MrsW's was the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack, which also happens to be my most disliked movie ever!!!


KWx

Nev

OMG.......I got some of those too - mostly from my dear departed grannie who really didn't 'get' why I'd much prefer something by the original artists!

Have absolutely no idea what my first proper record at Christmas was though.

df

Chris welcome back fella :-D

In response to what was the first single/LP i got for Xmas i'm not sure but it would have been either The Clash, Sex Pistols, Stiff Little Fingers or The Stranglers . . or somesuch other similar group. I reckon most people on here or indeed that know me in R/L would have said they could have guessed.

Steve :-D

Lovely to have you back, Mr CLP.

My first was 'Please Don't Tease' by Cliff Richard...

God, I'm old.

jx

CLP thank God ur back I have so missed you x x x

You can be as Christmassy as you like for me - bring it on

Right .... the hour has arrived.

Reaching for Advent Calendar now ....




and ..... it's ..... a .......

the winner is ......

not sure i can cope with this for the next 23 days .......

A ickly tiny mouse with a Santa hat on its bonce!



More fun tomorrow ......

Ah but Diva is it a Candle mouse!!!!

BM xxx

I guess the closest guess isShorty5 and Nev_R as said mouse is surrounded by stars.

I'm guessing each day will have a mouse doing something with something ....

Does it have mistletoe on it's wee santa bonnet?

Quack

Ctd - in that case each day we just guess mouse and get the point - where is the fun in that?

CtD, I would have thought it would have been a chocolate calendar or at least something with...oh never mind. If I continue to write I'll probably get into trouble........ I'll just smile quietly to myself......hehehehehehe

Reet petite was by Jackie Wilson...btw

My first single was TheSpecials and Ghost Town. Bought the original vinyl NOW XMAS... don't know when that was from....

On that basis tomorrow maybe an elephant with tinsel wrapped around his trunk....!

(not you sparkly)

Nev

hmmmm! do Shorty and Nev have the same calander?

CTD did you check out Wiki?

Quack

Nev, Now that could bring tears to ones eyes.....LOL

dook - yep. maybe we'll stop knitting pink booties now ....

super_bagpuss - don't be such a pooh pooh! a mouse dong what with whom or what could keep us guessing for days ...!!

Nev_R - guess duly noted!

Feel uber-christmassy now! CLP just said he's dong Christmas Crackers from now til Crimbo - wonder if he got mine??

So 'cited!!!!

Ummmm CtD - did you mean a mouse dong?!! 'Cause that could put a whole different slant on our suggestions

Quak

Ctd - wasn't being a pooh pooh - just stating that it puts a crimper on it all - i so hope one mouse has clogs on dancing on stairs in holland!

LOL dook - it was Bondy. He distracted my mind!!!!

either that, or I need my nails cut down to aid better typing skills!

CtD, Oh sure blame me......LOL

Hey, hey.... The guy that's on the radio now is from Rochester NY. That's not far from where I live.....

Afternoon all, and welcome back CLP!

First single I was bought was for Christmas, to go with my shiny new red walkman cassette radio player thingy. And the single was Kylie Minogue, Locomotion. hmmm. First single I bought I think was weather with you, crowded house, but can't really remember!

Well done to all the new jobs, and good luck for the potential new jobs!

I was going to guess a stocking with tinsel on it for the calender but I'm a wee bit too late so can I have that for tomorrows guess, or is that cheeky?!

Dragonxx

PS Hurrah! the sun has got his hat on... hip hip hip hooray!!

i keep looking for the NEXT button . . . .. . is that wrong?

Hi CLP,

Sooo good to have you back, missed you.

Did you have a good week?

Your Daughter and her mother - does that mean you have found out your having an ickle baby girl?

Debbie - Congralutions! Well done!

My first single was "You just might see me cry" by Our Kid!

Chris - My ding a ling was my party piece song, I remember singing it at my Mum and Dad's Silver Wedding Anniversary! ;o))

Cheryl - Sorry I couldn't join in the guessing game today, can I copy Dragon and get my guess for tomorrow in early? I think it will be a wee christmas tree.

Have a nice evening folks.

Take care on the roads, it's blooming freezing, foggy and icy out there!

Mary xx

That guy from John Lewis had no idea what he was talking about. The reduction in VAT from 17.5% to 15% means that a Product previously priced at £100 will now cost £97.87 - a reduction of £2.12 (*NOT* £2.50). No wonder our economy is in such dire straights if the Directors of large retail institutions such as John Lewis have no understanding of basic maths!

I think the UK contingent has gone home! The US is holding out for meetings to end and the UK to start drinking!
Continental bloggers are keeping a distance!
So its just us workaholic types that haven't gone home yet keeping this baby going until the mums have fed the wee ones and are fully functioning once more.

Well 17.50 means that I'm gonna start closing applications down! will be popping back until 1800hrs.

Good Luck guys

quack

Hoorah CLP is back and it's great!!!!

The first record I got for Christmas was an LP called Ed Stewart's Pop Party and it was my first ever record. I think I was about 4 at the time.

Can I just say I can highly recommend The Rat Pack Christmas show that I took my Mum to see on Friday night. It was fab!

Only 4 sleeps till I jet off for NYC now, just got to get through Wednesday and I'll start to get really excited.

Blog & Post is awfully quiet - any particular reason?

Qauck

Dook- Booboo (who is a lady dog but it's ok cause she isn't listening) will be going to stay with her Mum (Cocoa), Aunty (Flake) and brother (Mustard) and her favourite human Aunty Sarey :))

Which blog is hosting at the blog&duck this evening? Is HLS around?...

Great to have Chris back isn't it.

I'm going to pop back here with a drink later and raise a glass to you all.

I want to thank you all for the support that you have given me. I really don't know how I would of got through those dark days without you.

I was so excited to share my news with you all here today and your good wishes have been overwhelming.

Friday's arrest and tomorrow's court appearance seem to be taken over everything here and it has meant the world to me to come here and talk to you all.

Love you all loads.

Debbie x x x

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO just as Chris was about to name the person who's Xmas crackers they were i lost the connection and missed it . .. anyone know who he said? I know she was a SHE and that SHE's female *sighs @ poxy connection issues*

Top selection though stuffs me up for mine though :(

Steve :-D

Hi everyone:

Haven't had time to read the blog today, but just want to say well done to super bp: I'm listening to Chris right now and he's playing your choices!

Also, just heard Bingo sending in info to Sally!

It's all "go" with the bloggers!

C xx

I'm too young for vinyl :( It's a shame - I love playing my Dad's LPs...

superbagpuss - well done excellent choice I love those gob smackers - perfect!!! xx

congrats SbP

Well done :-D good choice although you've stuffed me up for getting Fairytale played at a later date :(

Steve :-D

Chris, so fantastic to have you back. I have had a day off work today, and have managed to hear the whole show - this never happens! Wonderful show, but I am not Christmassy yet .... but I'll get there!

Think I have managed to catch up with the blog over the weekend and today - really hard work, but very worthwhile!

Debbie: you have been through so much recently. Very difficult with your teenager, but I am completely with Clodagh on this, great advice. Yes, he made a (big) mistake but honestly, encouragement and love is the way to go. He's struggling just now, but you and Mr Debbie will be there for him, and that's all he needs.

Also Debbie: how fantastic about your new job! You must be absolutely over the moon! I will try to pop in later to join you with a wee glass of something, when MsS has vacated the computer and I can get a look in!

Just to say, I really had the most wonderful weekend - Jersey Boys is an incredible show - I've never attended any show where the standing ovations take place DURING the show!

I'm glad I managed to enjoy myself, I have come home to discover the car is in the garage for new brake lining-things, approximately £600 - just what we need!

C xx

Congrats SuperB........ I missed the songs, but will listen later to the rebroadcast or whatever it's called......

Well done BP, great choice of crackers!

Oh Chrissie that's bad news about the car, anytime of year is bad enough but just before Christmas ouch!

I can't tell you how excited I am about going to see the Jersey Boys on the 27th.

Mary xx

well done SBP on getting your Christmas cracker played.
Great to have the maestro back on the airwaves.
First record I had in by Christmas box was 2 little boys, first one ,well bought 2 one for my little sister,Nothing Rhymed (Gilbert 0 Sullivan) and You,ve got me dangling on a string (Chairman of the Board), for meself.
Ding Dong (Beesmum) and a Tip Top December 1st to one and all.

Steve.

Evening

Home on the sofa. Pjs on. Belly full of jacket spud and salad.

Well done super_bagpuss - I love the don't let the bells end song by the gawjus Justin Hawkins! I was feeding brandy to the four crimmy cakes and was dancing round the kitchen singing and saying "it's super bagpuss, it's super bagpuss" !!! Mr Diva thought I'd lost the plot. Again!

And yay - Bingo on sally traffic!!

Lynyloo - I saw thw Rat Pack Christmas Show 2 years ago and the "regular" Rat Pack show in October this year - both absolutely superb!

Now, I've relayed the tale of the Advent Calendar to Mr Diva and he can see my plight and that mouses doing things with things for the next 23 days may be a tad tedious ....

so, he has said I can use our Advent Calendar for the bloggers - it does look more traditional and has Santa on the front of it. Today's window was a jack-in-the-box.

All happy with that?

Good!

Right, nipping over to FB to see if anyone's challenged me to any games - feel free, btw!!

Love and stuff

Cheryl the Diva x x x

oops. i got moderated for my first effort of the Darkness song!!!

Nice one SBP.

First single, for Christmas. I was 9. Crazy Little Thing Called Love. And, the best bit of all? I still have it in a box in the loft.

Must go and dig it out......

This must already be going down as the weirdest Christmas I have ever known.

Normally I am about as far from 'the spirit' on the first of December as you can be, you know, not wishing to peak too early and all that, but this year I am right on it. The show today helped that feeling along quite nicely too. Is it something to do with all the doom and gloom around that we are all reaching out for something to smile about and Christmas is there, being handed to us on a plate?

But this really is a Christmas of contrast.

We felt it inappropriate to have a do at work as people have been laid off and we thought that having a bash with their former colleagues wasn't the right thing to do, so we canned it. And yet we are off to Mrs MfR's company do on Saturday, a black tie affair celebrating the massive project they are currently working on.

The shops are full of people, whether or not they are buying anything remains to be seen, and yet shops and businesses are going to the wall left right and centre.

All very, very strange.

Still. Good to see one festive tradition in full swing.

Those, ahem, wonderful lights that people adorn their houses with. Don't get me wrong, I love them, but some of them, come on.

But have you ever noticed? You never, ever see anyone putting them up. They simply appear. And come January, they will disappear as if by magic.

Apart from at that strange house on the edge of the village where they have kept them up for over five years now.

Peace etc

MfR

PS 50 cents on the dollar

LOL Matt - i didn't know we lived near ach other - we have a run-down cottage on the village edge: christmas lights up all year round. Reminds me of that Redneck Woman song .....

And Crazy Little Thing Called Love was the first single I bought with my own money - I was at Walthamstow Market with my nan! She was horrified, being as she was a huge Al Martino fan (you and your Spanish Eyes ...... )

Back to the Christmas Lights, me and Himself go for evening walks round the various housing estates here and award our very own "Turner Prizes" for the tackiest, and the prettiest, and the twinkliest, and the chaviest ..... it's a good game! Trust me! Even better if you can't agree and have to retire to the local to sit in front of their fire to chew the fat and decide who the winners should be!

We're not having a company do either this year. Suits me - way too many politics at christmas parties to enjoy ones-self.

xxx

Hi all [well, Matt anyway] - or is anyone else out there? If so, helloooooooo.....

Had to do something earlier which meant that I missed whole chunks of the show and I've got a late shift to do tomorrow and on Weds so will miss it all on both days. B*m!

Will try to 'listen again', maybe when JV is on and doing a boring topic? [I typed that word very carefully after Cheryl's unfortunate reference to the mouse earlier!]

But I did hear Bingo mentioned by Sal and did a bit of a double-take!!

Hope you're all having a good evening - is everyone else in the pub?

df

Hi CtD - none taken I hope!

df

hiya

fame at last

i missed the show as went to circuit training so imagine my delight when i started reading the blog and found i had got through - am listening again as we speak - woohoo

suoper bp x

No one heard me on the show then,sort someone might have craked the code ((((( whimper ))))).

Steve.

Hi all, please join the facebook group to get Little drummer boy/peace on earth to number 1. You can pre-order it there to.

Oooo my first ever comment on the blog.

I've been reading this blog for ages now and with CLP away last week I took the oppotunity to read every blog since 2006! Yep it took a while but each one seemed to refer to something that had taken place before so it was like starting a book halfway through and I wanted to go back and read the beginning. It was actually a really interesting read and was amazing to see how CLP has changed since the first blogs. I was also amazed that in 2006 he said in one blog before he had even met Natasha that he was going to buy a new house and find a wife and by the end of 2007 he was in his new house with a beautiful wife and now they have a baby on the way. How many people in this world can decide to do something like that and make it happen within a year!

Anyway, I felt like I had to post a comment today just to say how much I loved the show this evening. I was wondering if I was ever going to get the fastive feeling this year and by the end of the show my inner fairylights were definiftely switched on! I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's show.

xXx

Ah, greyhound_mum, I love the thought of internal fairy lights!! Mine are blinking on and off at the moment, though they're not meant to be the flashing ones!

Just "listening again" to the second half of the show, great tunes SBP! Luuurve Fairytale of New York!

AF xx

Well done bagpuss - have caught up on the sections that I missed now.

All this festive stuff has worn me out and I've got a long day tomorrow, so it has to be an early one for me tonight.

Sleep well folks.

df

Welcome Greyhound_mum.

Welcome home Christoph!! You were missed! I take it the postcard is in the post??

You just tell the 'Do that blog quickly' person that the blog is part of the whole package and needs respect!!!

Your Mum and daughter must have had a ball this morning!! Lucky lasses!!! I should imagine the boys are quite a laugh in th flesh, so to speak!

Ok, first Christmas single I received. It was 1980, I was 11 years old, my sister was 2 and my brother was 10 months old.

It was the year in which -

the exiled Mugabe returned to Rhodesia to lead Zimbabwe into independance;

the Alexander Kielland oil rig platform collapsed, with 123 lost;

the secret attempt by the US to rescue American hostages in the seized US embassy in Tehran failed;

the SAS brought to an end the seige in the Iranian embassy in London;

Mount St Helens in Washington State erupted;

the Marlborough diamond has been stolen in a £1m robbery in Knightsbridge;

Hercules the bear went missing on the island of Benbecula;

war broke out between Iran and Iraq;

Thatcher gave her 'The lady's not for turning!' speech;

the Queen became the 1st British monarch to have a state visit to the Vatican;

Reagan beat Carter to become US President;

the Labour party chose Michael Foot as its leader;

and we were still in shock from John Lennon's shooting earlier that month.

Are the memories flooding back??

I attended my first High School dance that year in deep red velvet peddle-pushers with white tights and a white ruffled blouse, and was delighted to be asked for a dance with Mr Logan, my English teacher, who I had a massive crush on. (May he rest in peace, taken from us at such a young age.)

And my Christmas single in that year's stocking was Ant Music by Adam and the Ants!!! Lovely, pretty boy that he was!! My bedroom wall was plastered in posters of him!



Will be back later dear blogettes and bloggers, I have a very unsettled and upset Limpet today, need to go check her temp.

Huggles

Susan xox

Goodnight derbyfi.....

Can I just say that, I've been a fan of Evo from way, way back and have always liked him.
But the more little snippets I pick up from this Blog the more I admire him and the way he has moved on in life.
It is a Cliche, but it's bang on, never believe what you read in the paper.
Sorry to interrupt, but just wanted to get that off my chest!

SBP thanks for your Christmas Cracker it's putting me in the mood for the wonderful city! and greyhound_mum I'm hoping my internal fairy lights will go on soon now.

But, before I go rake around for the thermometer, a big hello and welcome to custombacchus, andyhayhurst, and greyhound_mum (I miss my greyhound boy!!).

And hello again, yaweh70, yeahdisk, AhleizwhelsGem.

Right where's that thermometer??

And interrupt away, untalentedmrriply, good to hear from you again!

Right really off the noo. Back later!

I have to say, I had an awful day at work, left late, but listening to Christof on the way home cheered me up no end, and I entered the house still singing Chestnuts roasting! family now think I had a great day....little do they know!

wow, things ARE quiet on here tonight. Well, I'm off home soon but will try and catch up later with the night owls......

Evening all

First single bought as a present for Chritmas was Peter Sellers "Goodness Gracious me", either that or the Story of Aladin on a bright pink vinyl 45.

Great choice SBP one of my old time favs Fairy Tale.

Well looks like I might have to choose John Sergeant's soon to be released "Lets not fight this Christmas"

Day two of the Advent calender mmn a One legged Turkey from Icelands perhaps.


PP

Evening each - missed most of the show tonight (on purpose one may ask!!??)- apart from Bingo on the travel!? What were Bagpusses choices and Jovial ? were you on? (ding dong indeed).
Afraid I had a senior moment - and left house to take the post (as well as 4 other things to do buzzing in my brain) - locked office then house - opened car - no post! Not even stamped up - all sitting there waiting to be done! duh!
So been sitting quietly watching the box (spooks was really good tonight) keeping out of trouble.

Beesmum xx

Have I missed you James?

yeahdisc //57 well flippin done - Gold Star - sums aint my strong point but you are Spot On - folk are forgetting they have to go back to the base price by taking off the 17.5 vat then adding the new 15%. saving is peanuts!

Chris,

IF you fancy destroying what little self esteem I have left, I'm pretty certain that "the Frog Chrous" aka "We all stand together" by Paul McCartney was one of the first records I recieved..


Don't tell anyone... Please? :(



Phil The Pool Man

A very quiet evening on here indeed. Feeling a bit dodgey so dosing myself up with night nurse and off to bed. Hopefully feeling brighter in the morning.

Debs,

Just sneaking in again to say well done with the job and good luck with the teen.

TTT
