    At 5ft 2, he's more like a stool.

    We’ve got more than enough stools in the team already.

    My Dad had a trader he bought items from,he was a sort of `Arthur Daley character named Ron. Dad bought some floodlit sundials and Elvis radios from him I think.
    Ron always used to say,when you answered the phone "Is ya dad there?"
    I always think of Ron the Con as we called him when I hear Department S!

    Floodlit sundials work fine if they are powered by clockwork so that either the light or the dial moves round 360 degrees in exactly 12 hours.

    Secret Affair had two other hits. ‘My World’ got to 16.
    Is Vic There wasn’t much of a hit - number 22. Good song though.
    A & D is a very good call. That is a proper 1HW.

    Yes.

    Yes see above. 2 hits and a few other 30-60 minor hits. Much preferred "My world" to Time for action". Proper song.

    I used to win money at Uni by betting £10 I could name the band and chart position of any song offered up, or the hits of any band offered up. I would then ask them if they could name the nationality of the keyboard player and the name of the band his brother set up. I was/am a real kn0b.
    Can still remember pretty much everything 75-85 but Wiki makes it easy now (though I didn't "cheat" for any in post #158!). I couldn't name a song that's been in the top 40 this year, not one.
    I've only bought one "new" album this year, the Kings of Leon album.

    That’s one more than I have bought. In fact, I can’t recall the last pop/rock album I bought.

    The only recent record which has infiltrated my consciousness at all is “Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd. Which I suspect I liked because it sounds a little 80s.

    Actually that's a lie - The Killers new album too which is also great.

    Dear old Ron.
    Probably trying to sell clouds to cherubs by now I think.

    I'm so behind music wise I didn't realise either had produced anything lately.. is it the same old music from them both or are they trying new things?

    More polished and catchy that their initial offerings. They've got older ! Examples below (start the killers track from a minute in).
    Loved the initial raw Killers stuff but the KoL first albums are too raw for me....
    I think their latest stuff is great.

    That's the first time I've ever seen The Killers and "raw", or KofL and "too raw" in the same sentences.

    If you're looking for raw, then try 'A Hero's Death' by Fontaines D.C.
    Actually released last summer, but I received it as a late Christmas present when we actually met our son & daughter-in-law a month ago.

    Life ain't always empty, you know.

    In that case how about “I’ve Never Been To Me” by Charlene.

    KoL sound has always reminded me of this old tune.

    The undeniable truth First Team Captain

    Haha - yes I bought that when it came out (c79/80) and have it on my iphone now. Never met anyone else who had ever heard of it. Great song, tragedy that it wasn't a hit. The closest they got to a top 40 single.

    Love the line "You're not invited to stay, you're not intended to go"

    Now I'm confused. Have I lost the plot or has this thread...

    So are we signing Chair or Chesney Hawkes now?

    Either way they only get one appearance in the UK Top 20 aka Premier League, is that right?
