Saw on tv this morning that I Wanna Dance With Somebody was released this day in 1987 so almost 40 yrs old. I don't mind Whitney but this song shits me to tears. She had much better songs imo.
This is an absolute banger.
Unfortunately it will probably be 0/2 for me.
Business as usual.
Essendon do have some promising youngsters though.
Can't wait to Essington them though.
I went into premature retirement at the end of last year but realised I'm not really ready for retirement yet so am back at it next week.
It will probably take me about a week to regret the decision. Oh well.
2nd Place (tie) 🥉
raskolnikov – Ted, Just Admit It..
Stokey – Street Life

🥈 1st Place
Loonerty – Killing Time

17th Place
spudmaster – You're Going Home In The Back Of A Divi Van

🚨 LAST PLACE – THE BILLY AWARD 🚨
JHF1870 – Miserable Heroin Addict vs Jehovah’s Witness Guy
Points: 0 (BBBBBB – that’s six B’s for “Beyond Belief”)
Straight to jail. Not even a trial. Not even a theme-appropriate trial montage.
This entry didn’t just fail to score points — it actively made...
Alright criminals, convicts, and people who definitely “know their rights” because they saw it once on TV….
Tonight we separate the innocent from the guilty, the catchy from the criminal, and the “interesting artistic choices” from… well… actual crimes.
Lawyers are present. Bail is not.
Final call, you magnificent procrastinators 🚨
With less than 2 hours left before the Crime and Punishment song contest deadline slams shut like a prison cell door, this is a friendly (read: mildly threatening) reminder to:
JHF1870 – we trust you’ll deliver justice in the form of votes
Stokey...
Just out of interest if I've accepted a 7 yr position to cover someone on leave does that preclude me from looking for and accepting another job during that time?
