I heard it again recently and it is better than I remember it being but not as good as the Yazoo version

Two of the five I picked out at the beginning of the round have been eliminated. The other three are still in the Top 5 of my reserve list only one is still in play but there is nothing here that I really dislike only shades of preference

House of Fun is absolutely iconic and was hilariously Number 1 during Pope John Paul II visit to the UK Only You is the only Vince Clarke track to make it to No.1 during the 80's Give It Up is upbeat if nothing else

The 2021 photo would not be enough to send me scurrying to put her on my Cup team

In the last round I was upvoting Ashes to Ashes but this song is not particularly special. For me he is a bit hit and miss I love Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes, Space Oddity, Underground, The Man Who Sold the World Let's Dance and China Girl are just a bit meh but I loathe Absolute Beginners

I think for me it must have been Elvis. My eldest sister had just started work and she said some of the women in her office were in tears at the news.

I have got James Watson

Last night I went to see the 'Posh Panto' Mother Goose which starred 83 year old Sir Ian McKellen and John Bishop. Judging by his performance I would say he should not trouble us in the next few years.

18th February

Unbelievably not a pick in Deaths of the Silver Screen III probably because she was the last survivor of many of her films and then retired

Gina Lollobrigida is a hit for @DoorSlammer 1923 Bob Barker/Glynis Johns 1924 Jimmy Carter/Eva Marie Saint 1925 Pete Murray/Ysanne Churchman 1926 Timothy Dudley-Smith/Gudrun Ure 1927 Sandy Gall/Leontyne Price 1928 Joss Ackland/Queen Ratna of Nepal 1929 John Woodvine/Imelda Marcos 1930 Douglas Hurd/Edna O'Brien  1931 Ken Bates/Leslie Caron 1932 Roy Hattersley/Prunella Scales

The +1 for Madness was left on from the previous poster I did not award an extra point

I selected my own top 5 at the start of the game and three of them are there already. The other two I can live with but one of my picks is entering the danger zone

37 Madness – House of fun 35 Kraftwerk – The Model / Computer Love 35 The Jam – Town called Malice 30 David Bowie – Let´s Dance 29 Bonnie Tyler – Total eclipse of the heart 29 Men at Work – Down Under +1 28 Captain Sensible – Happy Talk 28 Irene Cara – Fame 27 Police – Every Breath You Take 25 Eddy Grant – I don´t wanna dance 24 Flying Pickets – Only you 24 Culture Club – Do you really want to hurt me 24 Kajagoogoo – Too shy 23 Musical Youth — Pass the Dutchie 23 Spandau Ballet – True 22 Duran Duran – Is There Something I Should Know 21 KC & the Sunshine Band – Give it up 21 Billy Joel — Uptown Girl 20 Phil Collins – You can´t hurry love 20 Adam Ant – Goody two shoes +3 19 Paul Young – Wherever I lay my hat (that's my home) -1 19 Survivor – Eye of the tiger 17 Bucks Fizz – The Land of Make Believe 15 Culture Club – Karma Chameleon 13 Dexy's Midnight Runners – Come on Eileen 13 Nicole – A little peace 11 Rod Stewart – Baby Jane 9 The Jam – Beat Surrender -3 5 New Edition – Candy Girl -2

Does it come to a dead end?

I'm fairly convinced it is The Horns of Nimon.

I think Billie Jean is probably the best of Jackson's output from this era. It is on my reserve list in case any of my top five fall but it looks like it might be gone by then

I dreamt last night that someone delivered a bee Hive to our house but the lorry driver was Rolf Harris.
