Does it count if it was a jazzy cover? I was in a cafe yesterday and I thought it sounded familiar.

Almost all of us have said or believed something unacceptable when we were at school.
Most of us stop saying or believing it when we grow up.

Almost (almost) bagged a Birthday double full house following in from a full house yesterday.
Went wrong on the Madonna cover on rd1 and misheard U2 for UB40 on rd 2, confused, before ken put me out of my misery.

More Collins titles than the average bookshelf for 3 in 10

Pic I took in 1986 whilst visiting an Argentinian Chinook wreck near Mt Kent in the Falklands.

Found out last night that a couple of years later an unexploded cluster bomblet was found lodged in the Rotor head!

It seems odd that 18 months down the line that a government elected with a huge majority walks on eggshells.

That's my take. I think the straightforward " rejoin" approach is an easier stance the further away you are from actual government.

My local labour MP is on ice that would be even thinner if the R word was on the table.

The ability to really level with the people.
Those sources then have three long years to scream the counter message into the red wall seats that he depends on and that predominantly voted leave, turning a possible 1 term government into a definite.

My old Warrant Officer loved doing this at Karaoke.
He used to invite (Order) us up to be his backing singers.

I say old, but he passed away aged 55 just a few months after his retirement.
Great chap.

I'll go for one I've grown fond of, but wasn't keen on at the time.

You've not heard my version... A wine driven cover with The Hooded Claw on vocals but sometimes drifting into Ian Paisley...
I might have to dig it out.

Sam's Karaoke Copenhagen circa 2005 and one punter did this complete with dancing.
