SJM was marvellous!
And yes, Callistemon, I did think:

An ex boyfriend (I was between husbands) was friends with the girl who sang on the Communards hit "Don't Leave Me This Way". Her name was Sarah Jane Morris but I've had to look that up just now.

I have another one but I'll save it for the next thread!


What next thread, she asks?

Final bump for voting!

I know i am late in this, but here goes, les from the bay city rollers once stood on my foot in leeds. My dads work mate lived next door to patrick stewart? ( captain pickard on star trek} & they got very drunk on whisky. Ken Dodd wanted to marry my aunty ( he was already married at the time). Lucy Pargeter (Chas Dingle) lived near my cousin and went to her garden party. I once sat next to one of the gorillas from planet of the apes. My male cousin was good friends with roddy mcdowel and had him as a house guest when he visited from america.

And only legal votes count

My people are watching the count and lawyer, minus hair dye, is on hand

Mr GG13 had a beer with the Duke of Edinburgh when he attended a charity function of a charity he was involved with.

And only legal votes count

One particular useless, half-arsed connection is in the lead - but remember, every vote counts!

Final three will be announced tomorrow, Monday 23rd 12pm.

I trust the losers will instruct lawyers ASAP - the whole process has been mail in and not only that, there have been no observers at all of the process. Goodness knows what chicanery FC will have been up to.

This is the best thread for ages!!

Sounds as though I need to up my game. Is canvassing allowed? ?

I know my place ????.
These are great by the way, thank you for sharing!
