Apparently, for being Nigel Farage’s son!!

Ask Alexa to play Ella Fitzgerald singing it - I looooove her music.

Cross posts Whitewavemark, thanks both - I’ll have that song going round in my head all day now.

Casdon Fri 26-Jul-24 09:19:04

Yes, it is - I just looked it up on Wikipedia, which says
‘The lyrics of the song are often changed depending on the recording artist. In its original form it is a humorous romantic duet, though rarely recorded that way. Certain lyrics, especially those with topical references, are often changed based on the time of the performance's release’
I’d looked it up on ApplePlay, which gives you the official version, but Nicenanny3 could well have been referring to a version with altered lyrics. Mystery could be solved, thanks, unless she comes back to say it’s a different song she was referring to.

Is this in any way true?

One son is 33, the other 35.
They cannot be held responsible for anything their father does.

“ I like New York in spring how about you”😊

Sadly no, I looked that one up as I didn’t know it, but the nearest lyrics are
Holding hands in the movie show
When all the lights are low may not be new
But I like it, how about you?
I’ve added a new song to my knowledge though now, so thanks!

It the same one😀

Ella Fitzgerald. Sublime

I did know the song (showing my age now).

Is it from Babes on Broadway?

Where’s Frinton-on-Sea. Here 😁

Thank you petra

It looks rather nice in photos, lots of small shops, beach huts and tea rooms.
Not a place for teenagers!

Did anyone hear the joke: Harwich for the continent, Frinton for the incontinent?

😮

Never heard that.

Where is Frinton anyway? Is it one of those places that everyone's heard of but don't know why?
Like Tunbridge Wells where Disgusted lives.

It's on the Essex coast, very genteel and lots of elderly. My mum sent me there on a religious holiday there once. I told her I'd been to God's waiting room! I preferred Walton on the Naze, it had a fair.

Did you keep escaping?

Love him or hate him seems people can't stop talking about him 😄

As the song goes 'I like him how about you'

I’ve been racking my brains Nicenanny3, but I can’t place that line at all, what song is it from? Can somebody enlighten me please or it will bug me all day.

Nope, still find it all totally irrelevant and uninteresting.

So disinterested that you have posted how many times…………

Is it because it's just rather ludicrous and unimportant?

Or because I keep wondering how one of the Farage family has been debunked.

Must go to Specsavers.

Perhaps. Let’s wait and see.

I didn't even know Farage had children until this thread.

And I keep reading debanked as debunked.

Back to Farage's son who has been 'debanked' if he truly has. He has got German nationality, and possibly Irish. Key issue is, where does he live? Can anyone find out? And who does he bank with?

I know one of his sons did a first and second degree at Exeter Uni. Try Hong Kong for where he lives.

Could I possibly care less about someone with German nationality (and/or Irish- both EU countries) resident in Hong Kong who has possibly been debanked by a bank (Wise) nobody has heard of - a specialist bank for making international money transfers.

What possible relevance does it have to any of us?

Have you looked at the OP😄😄😄

Because Farage was instrumental in stopping most of us from free travel in Europe but his own kids, which have either a German or Irish mother still can.
