I always thought 'Choose Life' was in response to anti-abortion. But then, I have no reason for WHY I thought that....

Pap, it was a designer in the 80s who did loads of slogan t shirts. The Wham one was anti drugs, I think she did the Frankie Relax ones too. I had loads of them :cool:

Ahhh that makes sense :T Ohhh and I loved the song 'wake me up before you go-go'. It still doent tell me why she decided to design the t-shirts in the first place. It only mentions the slogan being adopted by the prolife movement after it was seen in the music video :think: guess we will never know :rolleyes:

I have aqa'ed it though amd will post the rely if/when I get one

Just checked the weather reports, it's going to be very cold in Leeds and pouring it down in Venice. But they're usually wrong anyway!

Anyone know how I find out before travelling to Liverpool if the flight's been cancelled due to bad weather?

I think I may aqa it... Wonder if Emily or BB are working today

I'm not working at the moment but give me 30 secs, I'll have a look. I don't remember it having any significance in the 80s other than being on the t-shirt, but I'll have a look on the database for you

There is a group called Prolife I think which is anti abortion.

PAP, Trainspotting is good but a bit grim! all about junkies in Edinburgh.

well, apparently.......according to AQA, it appeared in the Bible and was made popular by Wham when they put it on a t-shirt.

Edit: yep it was in the bible!!
