    Awww, I love Abba. :T

    I think every record I ever bought was seriously uncool - I've never been cool! :D

    I LOVE the album title on that clip - Val Doonican Rocks, but gently. :rotfl:

    What a class name for an album! :T

    I think my parents may have had that album! I remember a lot of Val in our house but lots of novelty stuff - Paddy McGinty's Goat etc... something about love being like a ring that had no end too though.

    I remember having a pile of singles I used to play on one of those Woolworths red and cream record players. I think my nanna and grandad gave me it - it had 78rpm on it as well as 16rpm was was so funny!!

    I remember playing these 2 loads so perhaps bought them but I can't remember.

    I had the fully English version of this - she won Eurovision in 1992, this is much later though

    I could only afford the single. I'd just had my very own record player for my birthday.:o
