Lady is a Vamp is mine.

When I lived in Maidenhead we had the railway bridge which was designed by Brunel and painted by Turner, and the Spice Girls house on Boyn Hill Road as the the leading tourist attractions.

Stop is also a belter at karaoke.

Wow. Cutting in the edges on something that big would have been such a pain.

Wannabe is still an absolute banger and I will fight you on that one.

Steaming pile of excrement.

Tubthumping is worse

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Tubthumping is worse

 

[JackOutback]

Tubthumping is worse

Reckon that song gets a bum rap because it became too successful at the time and people misinterpreting it as a lads drinking song (it's about the resilience of the working class to keep standing up after governments keep knocking them down). Heard it while listening to an old Hottest 100 (number three, definitely over-performed) and having not heard it in more than a decade, it was a perfectly ok song.

Wannabe is turgid.

The song of Christmas 97.

Both are examples of hype backlash but at least no one in Year 11 media class was using Tubthumping for their record your own video and submit it to Mister Swain assignment.

Im guessing the drinking part of the song is just when the weekend comes around and you can get away from work then

 

[Gralin]

Forward Press should I change the names of these heathens that don't like wannabe to something suitably complimentary of the spice girls?

 

[Gough]

When Chumbawamba performed on Top of the Pops some of them had to hide their faces because they were still drawing benefits.

Give them the Viva Forever.

Played in the Melbourne Storm's first season again and again and again...

 

[MarcMaverick]

I like Livin La Vida Loca.

Playing UNO on NY eve with my kids. Psycho

Draw four .

 

[rocker_oz33]

Showed our 8 year old niece from Vietnam Mr Squiggle, she loved him.

Black board says hurry up.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Realizing that my dad was right on most things, even if I disagreed with him on those things when I was younger.

Say no to drugs kids .
Where condoms.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Mel C was on the ABC NYE coverage, she hasn't aged all that badly unlike the Spice Girls songs.

I seen abit of that.
Fireworks after wards were the reels highlight.

But why do we need a d grade international artist when we have better here in Australia.

Got me thinking countdown would of been heaps better with live music.

 

[rocker_oz33]

But she had a great rig for her age.

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

Draw four .

Random question (I also played Uno with the kids on New Years Eve)...can you double Draw 4's?

We never did, in our rules you could match Draw 2's and Skip/Reverse regardless of colour, but Draw 4 was unmatchable. (You also couldn't play Draw 4 in response to a Draw 2)

My daughter apparently played UNO at school and the rules allow you to match a Draw 4 with another Draw 4 (making next player Draw 8). What rules do others play?

Oh, and it's good to crush their spirit early....
