    Night Splodz!

    I have loads of fireworks going off outside that I can hear tonight. Seems fireworks night has come early again this year :D Anyone else in the same boat?

    Oh talking of boats... on Radio 2 tonight when I was driving back, someone texted into the DJ to ask for some 'boaty' music as they were on board a boat, the DJ couldn't think of any & asked for people to call in with ideas. I'm thinking it would be linked to boats but can't think of anything off the top of my head other than that song by the Nolan Sisters Don't make Waves - anyone able to think of any others?

    Rock the boat by Hues Corporation!

    NOW IN COMPING SEMI-RETIREMENT! :D

    Ooh you two are goooood!

    What was that one by Leo Sayer all those years ago, I think that had something to do with boats or sailing or something?

    I know. I still can't listen to it and it was played at his funeral 8 years ago. I have to leave the room if it comes on.

    OH is still wracking his brains for more coz he's normally really good with music questions.

    *edit* ha, ha He's just shouted Ferry across the Mersey by Gerry & The Pacemakers from the toilet!!

    He's still shouting!!

    This one is now going to be on my brain all night! :)Grown men just can't carry off yellow jumpsuits nowadays! :rotfl:

    I know the song I was thinking of for Leo Sayer - it was 'When I need you' which has nothing to do with boats :rolleyes: I'm losing it! Don't think I know how the Sea of Heartbreak goes but I should have just kept quiet & agreed :D

    With the 'Ferry Across the Mersey' song, I have to admit that I love the Holly Johnson version, a little faster than the Gerry & the Pacemakers version.

    Blimey! You two are coming up with loads! I'll have to think of a harder one tomorrow night if you're around - see how good you are with a toughie :D
