Rds1983 Posted April 25, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 25, 2021 All great songs but nope. And checking them makes me realise how many 90s songs had little random noise sounds in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Thank you! Annoyed at myself as the sheer volume of times I've sung the 'come baby come, baby come come' bit to the little one when he's stood still refusing to move.

I'm getting quotes next week for the front of the house. Upstairs and downstairs bay window, and 2 other windows. Got no idea if it would be £500 or £50,000. If anyone is interested I got quotes from 2 local independent firms which came in within £100 of each other at around £4,100. Interestingly I've found out that you can easily replace existing handles which I didnt know you could do so am getting the nasty gold ones on the other windows replaced with some matching satin silver ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure they register the new windows with FENSA. Sometimes they don’t do this (as it costs money) but it’s a legal requirement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the intro (might be the chorus) to a song (think it's 90s dance but could easily be wrong) but can't figure out what it is and Google is no help. It goes something like this: Du-ding, du-ding, du-ding, du-du-du-ding-ding. Du-ding, du-ding, du-ding, du-du-du-ding-ding. Du-ding, du-ding, du-ding, du-du-du-ding-ding. Wife says it's a guy saying words and not dings but it's something like that. Driving myself mad and won't be able to stop until I figure it out. Is it Hey Student by The Fall? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspired by the following, apparently real headline from Today's Mail: I tried typing in 'the woke mob can rant for all they're worth, but' and letting autocomplete do the rest, and got: 'The woke mob can rant for all they're worth, but if we don't finish in the top 6 we can go out and have a bit of a meltdown'. (?) Any improvements? The woke mob can rant for all they're worth, but I think it was a nice place for a few days and I didn't want a villa to be honest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Booked Thursday and Friday off this week because meh... need some time away from the computer screen. Any idea where's good to go to for a loner to go for a drive / day out? Seaside would be nice but i don't know how far is acceptable to drive for a day out considering a lot of stuff is not open or restricted/bookings etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combine it with Lytham and on the way back Southport. That is a pretty good day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a cracker and from a time I disliked that indie student look and their liking of obscure tunes. I never saw the irony. It morphed a bit, it was originally called Hey Student but then MES realised that lots of Fall fans were... students so it changed to Hey Fascist (according to Una Baines), then later on, he changed it back to Student but left some of the Fascist changes in. (The Leigh-on-Sea bit is from the Fascist rewrite but remained in after it reverted back) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Paddywhack Posted April 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2021 My dad’s received a £60 parking fine for overstaying the free 2 hours at a motorway services. They have a photo of his car entering the car park on one day and then leaving again 2-3 days later. The truth is he’s never parked there, he’s been driving through their car park to take an illegal back way off the motorway for about 35 years. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
