Ricky Ponting taken to hospital

I mostly avoided Alan Partridge so I don't have that association and I will maintain it is ABBA's best song There is not a lot in the two year grouping that makes me think absolute classic (probably that and Donna Summer) but I had a look at 78/79 options and apart from a couple of howlers there is going to be some fierce competition

The Julie Covington version of the song is much more theatrical and Madonna has converted into a Pop Ballad (I don't mind her version but this is the definitive one) Better than both is Oh What a Circus by David Essex which is to the same tune I am torn between trying to save songs that are slipping or trying to get my faves into the top 5

I think we leave it as is. The first game had the US politicians which was quite narrow. There are some bands with quite a few members

I think this game is fascinating I drew my names from my 1000 name longlist which is different to my 300 name game list but Christine was so far off my radar that she wasn't even on my Longlist. So I suppose it is only fair that I didn't do so great last time because everyone who I included I must have at some point thought they needed to be added to my long list.

Yes I got off to a very good start but that soon went to hell in a handcart
