Even as I type, Toots is e-mailing UEFA, FIFA, War on Want, The Battersea Dogs Home, the Irish Consulate and the Canadian Embassy Regal.

She will demand satisfaction.

And when Toots demands satisfaction - she usually gets it

Even if I've to get someone in.

Die Sturmenwaffen (as she now insists I call her) has assigned me the role of Head of Psychological Warfare.

My remit is to bombard the perpetrators of this outrage with appallingly wet and weedy music clips interspersed with lavish quotations from obscure lyrics.

This campaign of terror will continue until those who hold the reins of power in the kingdom of quiz see sense or start bleeding from the ears

Communique ends

Death to the Smartarse-Stiflers!!!

Good stuff.

Yes you can have a pirate smiley, choose one you want, send it to me and I'll add it.

I love those two tracks immo, sorry for being a cunt.

There's another Wham tune that is fantastic, but can't mind it at the moment.

by Immo Thu Oct 16, 2008 10:55 am

Ahhhhh... you fukkin lightweight Mad

I thought to meself...

"Ole Crowny's been out on the lash tonight...

(Two pints of Stella tops and a Cherry B)

...he'll be good company on the ole music thread and in no way will drop out at the ridiculously early hour of gone-midnight leaving me here (again) without a pot to piss in (entertainment-wise)"

(I'm paraphrasing my thoughts of course- there was some stuff about the smell of Play-doh, my Uncle Drewie's record collection, Ray Dorset outta Mungo Jerry and a lot of stuff I can't even discuss on here minglin about in that thought process too)

Anyhoo

I'm left bereft of the warp and weft of decent craic.

by Immo Thu Oct 16, 2008 10:55 am

Disregard that last one man Cool

Is it "Where Did Your Heart Go?" off the "Wham in China" EP?

Sounds a bit like the best stab at Eurovision ever by the Lithuanian contingent ?

It ain't on YouTube unfortunately
