Zabadak, Justified and Ancient, Intro-Outro, (Bonzo Dog). Who'd-a-thought-it, hits. Still listen to them. Here a couple I like which read well without the tune; Big Bad John, by James Dean. A sullen, quiet mystery man not to be messed with, 'broad at the shoulder narrow at the hip and everybody knew you didnt give no lip to Big John'. Again; 'He didnt say much, kinda quiet and shy, And if you spoke at all you just said Hi To Big John.' (I like it when the rhyme and meter is completed before the end of the dialogue line, there must be a word for that technique).

In the sites I frequent.. 'Just Sayin'.. is used sort of jokingly, to indicate that you are throwing something in.. but don't want to get into a major debate about it...

Although I don't agree about the Turtles.., I do think it's a gem of a thread. Examining, panning or loving song lyrics in a thread like this is a great idea. This could turn into an epic thread! If you want an apparently inane 'pop' lyric.. how about 'Zabadak', by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch. Most of the lyrics make no sense, but it's a great tune with fab percussion.. and the lyrics do include a little explanation. 'Look for meaning not in words But in the way you're feeling If it's love we'll understand For love is all revealing'

I wasn't blaming you in particular Compo, but it's become rather infuriatingly prevalent lately. Also rather tedious is the unnecessary habit of ending a post with ones name, when we can all see the coloured disc or avatar. Just what's the point ? Keep it simple without the need for over familiarity.

'Those were the days' is based on a traditional Russian folk song, and a version of it in that style appears in a 1953 film with Alastair Sim.

Strange how songs bring memories instantly to mind, isn't it? I've never had any interest in pop music but my sister used to watch Top of the Pops every week. I can remember Mary Hopkin appearing on that programme and singing that song while my sister was packing her suitcase for her first trip to Spain. At the time, 1968, she worked for Horizon Travel on Parliament Street, just up from where the Victoria Centre was being built. She and her best friend, Su Pollard, went to Estartit for 2 weeks. Every time I hear the song, I think of them and that holiday. She came back loaded up with loads o

You sure you not ''Just sayin''' that' Compo............lol

It gives Ben a new chat up line..." Do you want to come up and see my socks"

The water behind Hooters is still there and doesn't show up on many maps, but I've found one where it does appear. Looking at this it could be either the Tinker's Leen (see on the left) or a branch of the canal coming in from the right - or even a link between the two. Ashley mentioned Blacknell's as the garage - and this seems to prove it http://www.pictureth...012498&prevUrl= And Turney's Leather Factory has been apartments for many years. I guess you can probably watch Forest matches from some of the windows
