Let's get it done, especially as 'I feel love' is now in its proper place. Let's get on with downvoting Brotherhood of Man.

Apologies for labouring the point regarding this 'hit' but I've never been anywhere near the top of the leaderboard of any pool, let alone this near the end of one, so this could be quite a Foinavon moment.

It's not harmless, there are bagpipes involved.... Its only saving grace is that - unlike his trite, repetitive Christmas record - you can avoid it for several years at a time... Apropos of which, not heard Last Christmas yet this year, although I have heard Mud, Jona Lewie and (courtesy of GAB on a long car journey yesterday) the entire Michael Buble Christmas album

Great minds think alike! FTFY I would have given it -6 but threw -2 at Johnny Nash simply because so many people seemed to be arguing over Tammy Wynette and Barry White that hardly any of the relegation candidates have been shifted out of late and this game needs to finish this year.

My attempt at a serious team has yielded fewer hits than both my Theme teams so will revert to basically having three of the latter again. I shall as ever do very little research, confine myself to people I have heard of and reuse most of the people who have failed to deliver this year. Lessons learned from this year 1. Don't use people who are big in Early Music, it seems they are not big with any of the QO sources. 2. Ditto principals with D'Oyly Carte Opera (the professional Gilbert & Sullivan opera company that toured the UK for 48 weeks a year until its demise in 1982) 3. Don't pick people because they have amusing/rude names (e.g. M Fuks), this is in itself insufficient to gain a QO.
