Nope. I don't think Joe Meek was a recording artist, was he? The artist(s) in this case had many hits. And had a hand in the hit cover version.

Good shout, but that's not it.

No, it wasn't released as a single in the 60s by the original artist, and not a hit for them.

How very defeatist. Of course it can't be "anything". It's restricted to UK No 1's for a start. I'll clarify that it was a No 1 in the 1960s as my phrasing didn't make it obvious.

I'm considering submitting a theme team called "People That Normal People Have Actually Heard Of".

To be fair, Ronnie Wood was a reasonable pick at the time as he was known to have lung cancer and was quoted as saying he wouldn't have chemo because he didn't want to lose his hair. The news of his remission (if that's the right word) came later.

I'd be extremely glad to see most of those banned just for being horribly twee.

No fucking way. Gutted.

AND charging a lot less than the supermarkets

Utter nonsense. I've never claimed to be a feminist, and I read this without guilt while I happened to be eating scrambled eggs. Eggs which come from free-range hens at a farm in the next village are delivered to my door every week. I have no plans to change this arrangement.

Many modest social events have been killed off by over-strict health & safety rules, and the obligation to have expensive insurance for everything.

They're all fucking useless, as far as I can tell.

Very perceptive observation to make about a 92 year person.

"On Saturday she fell victim to a swallowing problem" Which one of those chocolates did her in, I wonder.

Imagine if they'd tried that with Donna Summer's 'State Of Independence' which had a star-studded backing choir including Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick, Lionel Richie and many more.

Lots of people picked Bush too, including me. Just mentioning it because there's a typo in the masterlist (yo instead of to) Mine so far (I think): Alcock, Paul Bannister, Roger Bush Sr, George Caballe, Montserrat Cappotelli, Matt Carrington, Peter Fabray, Nanette Francis, Dean Goodwin, Vanessa Graham, Rev Billy Jowell, Tessa (joker) Kit, Barys McCain, John (joker) Miller, Liam Rae, Charlotte Shore, Mitzi

My most shocking death of a friend was one who died of one of those undiagnosed heart defects. Went to bed one night right as rain, and never woke up. Only 30.

December could be tragic again?

They must be due for another one, surely?

Bob Dole

But he hasn't.

While he said this was "totally legal", he told campmates that after the council installed CCTV in bus lanes, he got a ticket. "So having got the ticket, I didn't take my cab in the bus lane," he said. "I did what any sane person would do. I bought a bus. I've a Routemaster bus." I think you can all guess the word I would use to describe this person.

Marmite is probably indestructible.
