I was beginning to like Jeff.  I am currently reassessing that.

I can live with that, as I acknolwedged the other day it was only a matter of time. I suspected it would be some unnecessarily bell endish word that would do it, but it was always coming.

Not sure I could face going back in there. Too many painful memories. I'm worried my rash would flare up again.

By Jove no!  But on the social network site that must not be mentioned (along with golf) a lot of "friends" on said site, do not appear to have moved on/grown up.  And were getting very giddy about it.

Just had a quick look at it, and it appears I may have to go back just once for old times sake before it shuts down for good.

Spoiler:

Look at the class of people who have been there;

The Beatles
Showaddywaddy
Bob Monkhouse
Tom O'Connor
Rick Dagless
Tino Windows

This is my favourite bit:

I honestly can't think of a single person who would happily have met their wife in there.  Not the women I saw in there, anyway.

STD's yes, wives, no.

And to be fair, actual memories from there are hazy, let alone happy ones. Though I kept going back from muscle memory I think.

I went back because a shag only cost a bottle of Hooch.

Union wrote:Erik the Red - Greenland - Eh?

Must have missed it Union sorry, but as for Greenland he wanted to make this white tundra seem like a lush and verdant landscape to get people there.

That worked out well for him then.

To be honest I think people realised quite quickly

I Shall leave it open to the now customary Lyrics quiz...

She has a pierced nose and the back of her ear pierced several times. Just does it for me. And her boots / leggings combo.

Song and link please.

1) Through the hourglass I saw you. In time you slipped away. When the mirror crashed I called you, and turned to hear you say.

2) She's into superstitions, black cats and voodoo dolls. I feel a premonition that girl's gonna make me fall.

3) None shall sleep, None shall sleep! Even you, o, Princess in your cold room. Watch the stars.

4) Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl. With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there.

5) Et ses ponts qui brillent. Dans sa caisse. La musique a Joe c'est la rumba. Le vieux rock au mambo.

Of you go.

2. Living la vi da loca by Ricky Dagless Martin

4. Copa Cabana by Barry Dagless Manilow

I am guessing they are all foreign titles.

SO I will guess that number 3 is My Chico Latina by Gerry Dagless Halliwell

1. La Isla Bonita?

Correct on both, Adam "I am gay because Moulin Rouge is my favourite film" Davey.

Although he has. And in films.
