Strangely enough I've been watching professor Brian Cox's fab new series, 'whats life mate, whats it all made of?' (or some title like that) - I believe that the sleezy dark knight amusingly twitched along to this party favourite from Cox's former band that he played keyboards for - the sleezy dark knight was of course shaming it in way's that all politicians imply that they'll get down with the kids when not politicking -

Well done ! Sorry for defiling such a wonderful song by alluding to a slimy objectionable turd ! Congrats on the BARRY MANILOW reference (A first for Metamatic ?)

Looking forward (sort of) to Core's Revenge ..

Back in the 70's Scotland's now First Minister might have thought this American band had name-checked his future vision, but I wonder if he or Scotland's First Movie Star Sir Shawny 'give her a slap' Connery would question their taking a 'cat' to a competitive little dog (4,2)

Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Very welcome :-D

Pass me the pen, I'll fill the squares...
