Thursday 22nd May 2008

Welcome all to this weeks edition. As always this week will be filled with all the usual features you know and love, but a couple of tweaks will make this week even more, shall we say educational! Yes I do have a little something later to let the culture vulture amongst you join in with the more low brow readers! But all that is to come much later.
Now yet another week has passed and yet again I have mysteriously received another three awards this week. I am sure it is one of my many co-horts, but if it isn’t, then all I can say is thank you for thinking that this blog is worthy of the awards! So my three this week I think are something to do with the old cocktail bar, as two of them are drink related! A cold beer and a Martini award! Very nice. And of course an award for being addictive. Well I only put the stuff up here so I guess it could be classed as addictive. Well thanks to whoever it is sending them, and here for everyone else are the awards.


Also I have recently come across a piece of literary work by some ponsey author, that appears to be using my name in some kind of romantic novel. Now unless I am mistaken and this is actually a dossier on the Hot Chicks, they I shall be seeking an injunction to stop any more of this romantic clap trap from being written, I mean just look at it, its obscene!

You see what I mean! As if I would have anything to do with that, all my women are Hot!Right on with this weeks extravaganza. We of course have all the regulars. A Classic track of the highest order, several Karaoke Classics, some top class Hot Chick to drool over, some first class celebrity bashing, Ronnie’s Bull Plop, and to start us off with, here is this weeks………Yes first up as usual is the little quiz that has you all racking your brain some weeks, and jumping for joy other weeks. Yes it’s the picture quiz with a difference, the difference being yet again this week you will either get it straight away or you will struggle. Oh, hang an a minute, that’s what you all do every week! So for the newbie’s amongst you lets go through what will happen. Below is a picture describing a well known song. All you have to do is read the clues and guess the song and the artist. Easy isn’t it! Well it is for some! Now lets get on with this weeks picture.

1. This was the bands ninth single in the UK.
2. It was released in 1988 and was the bands breakthrough into the US market.
3. The band had 24 consecutive Top 20 hits in the United Kingdom and sold 25 million albums worldwide.


There you go. Well I’m not going to make it easy for you am I. So for those who are impatient, scroll on down to find the answer at the bottom of the blog, missing out on reading all the other top quality items, or you could just read on, safe in the knowledge the answer is not far away!
Moving on now to something we can all enjoy. It's time for another edition of my.......Classic Track #17



Epic ~ Faith No More


It’s a song that really could be called the start for many bands like Linkin Park. This crossover for rap and metal is still one of the best songs ever, and worthy of getting on the Classis Track list. The song was the breakthrough track for Faith No More, and plucked the band from relative obscurity to making them a headline act. Boosted by MTV's heavy rotation of the equally bizarre video, which ended with images of a fish flopping around on dry land and a silently exploding piano, Epic hit the Top Ten on the pop singles chart nearly a year after the release of the album from which it was drawn, The Real Thing.



While bearing passing resemblances to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and speed metal band Anthrax's foray into rap, Epic was very much of its own personality, and at bottom sounded like little else in heavy metal. It didn't really aim to be a seamless hybrid of differing genres. Instead, the song derived its impact from the band's ability to leap from one sound to another virtually at will, creating a wild, intoxicating unpredictability.



Vocalist Mike Patton, on his first album with the band, projected that same quality with his assortment of growls, wails, nasal warbling, and guttural, barely comprehensible rapping. Even written out, the lyrics don't make an incredible amount of sense, frequently alluding to it, without ever explaining what it is, in fact the chorus simply consists of the band shouting, It's it!, while Patton replies, What is it? in response. But in the end, this only adds to the weird world of the song, its personality already a strange amalgamation of the band members' clashing musical personalities.



The music video for Epic, which featured surreal images combined with performance footage of the band soaked by an artificial rainstorm on a sound stage, was subject to controversy because of the perceived treatment of a fish, which appears to be out of the water and dying on camera - it was in fact slow motion footage. The fish was returned to its tank alive in a matter of seconds.
During an interview, the band joked that the fish seen flopping around in the music video belonged to Icelandic singer Bjork, which they claimed to have stolen from her at a party. There are also stories of Bjork giving the fish to the keyboardist, Roddy Bottrum after a poetry reading in San Francisco.



Guitarist Jim Martin was a schoolmate, close friend and fan of the early Metallica bassist Cliff Burton. In the video he can be seen wearing a T-shirt with a photo of Cliff with the words 'A Tribute to Cliff Burton'. In addition, Mike Patton can be seen wearing a Mr Bungle T-shirt in the video, who were the band that Patton was in when signed up to be in Faith No More. The T-shirt read "There's A Tractor In My Balls Again" and was sold at Mr. Bungle concerts. However, in order to secure MTV airplay the word Balls had to be obscured, so the bottom portion of the screen was mirrored.

A blonde calls her boyfriend and says, "Please come over here and help me.....I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get it started".
Her boyfriend asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?"
The blonde says, "According to the picture on the box, it's a tiger."
Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the puzzle. She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table. He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a tiger".
He held her hand and said, "Second, I'd advise you to relax. Let's have a cup of coffee, then ..........." he sighed, "let's put all these Frosties back in the box."


Harr harr me old cock sparrows, and welcome one and all to meet another couple of scallywags that are part of me crew. Shiver me timbers.
This pair have sailed the sargossa for many a year now, and the old sea dogs have many a tale to tell of their travels aboard their ship, The Wandering Barnacle. They be known as Jolly Nathanial Flintlock and Hairy Thomas Giggs, or as you know them Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. Yarr Harrr.


For many a long year these two have been on a quest to find some buried treasure, and they have been at it for so long now, they sing a song about where it is supposed to be buried, somewhere On The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine. Splice The Mainbrace!

I see land ahoy, so I am off to pillage the old Jolly Rodger on the old poop deck me old hornswaggler, so until we next cross paths, be aware of me old cutlass sticking up your arris! Yarr Harrr De Harrr Harrr!
Well where do you think Ronnie popped off to this week. Of course it was the Eurovision Song Contest that caught his eye this week. X-Factor runner up and ex-binman Andy Abraham held the hopes of the nation in his hands as all 3 people who actually watch the show sat gripped on the edge of their seats to see Andy come well as usual bottom of the pile, with the eastern block countries all voting for each other in an annual back slapping contest for them all.
Good old Terry Wogan, whose quips about the songs and the voting was appalled as Andy came in last plase for the UK again, and even hinted that this may be his last contest, due to the fact that we have almost no chance of winning.
Terry said it was no longer a music contest and that prospects for Western European participants were poor.
He said: "It's a disappointment, considering that Andy Abraham gave, I think, the performance of his life with a song that certainly deserved more marks than it got."
Referring to certain other songs in the competition, he added: "You have to say that this is no longer a music contest." And he said: "I have to decide whether I want to do this again. Western European participants have to decide whether they want to take part from here on in, because their prospects are poor."
As you can see Ronnie has caught the vote in full flight on the scoreboard, with Andy and Terry looking on in disbelief. More from Ronnie next week.


Well before we all get hot and sticky with this weeks Hot Chick how about we have a little break for a few minutes with a little game. Yes folk's it's time for this weeks...Music Catch
Now it’s the moment you have all been waiting for, as I bring you the latest edition to my long list of Hot Chicks for you to drool over. This week is a real stunner, and has all the qualities that a Hot Chick should have, well she has huge norks anyway! So without further ado I bring you…..
Nikki is best known for her role in the show Las Vegas, where she played the role of Mary Connell, who was a Special Events Director at one of the casino’s. This involves her organising all the needs for the casino clientele, and of course dressing in as much cleavage showing clothing as is humanly possible!



Nikki was born in Los Angeles, as is the daughter of Meredith and Terry Cox, who is a personal manager. She has a younger brother named Matthew. Cox's career as an entertainer started at the age of four, as she appeared as a dancer in several ballet productions and TV specials. She was soon spotted as a young talented actress, and her path to stardom began.



She also took dance classes as well as going to acting school, and her first big break came when she was asked to be in the Michael Jackson Moonwalker film. She then went on to perform in numerous other videos for such stars as Paula Abdul. But her real passion was for acting and she did the rounds before her real big breaks came.



As a young actress, she made a number of brief episodic appearance’s in such hit shows as Baywatch, Boy Meets World and The Nanny. She also made it onto an episode of Star Trek The Next Generation, where she played a very strange looking alien that becomes pen pals with android Data in the show. Of course she was only young then, but her assets soon helped her get bigger roles!



She got her first big role in a series when she played Regina Gates in the long running US show General Hospital, where she played a psychology student. During the show she had a string of sexy affairs, probably due to the fact that she has a fantastic huge pair of er eyes! So lets have another look at them now.



Her appearances in General Hospital would lead to her first prime-time starring role as Tiffany Malloy on the sitcom Unhappily Ever After, which ran on the Warner Brothers channel from 1995–1999. The show gained much attention due to her large breasts and the skimpy, provocative outfits she wore on-screen. Now as if this would lead into another picture of her in such pictures! As if I would! Oh go on then.



After she left Unhappily Ever After she went strait to her role as Mary on Las Vegas, and after being on the show for two seasons, she crossed over to long running NBC show Passions with her character Mary, to make way for two new characters in Las Vegas, confused, I know I am! This means that she is actually no longer in Las Vegas, but that she is in this other show, but who cares just as long as we get another picture of Nikki.



With her stunning good looks, Nikki has often been asked to model for several leading companies, including Tresome hair products, but recently she has been criticised for supposed plastic surgery to her face. She has had several cover shots on such magazines as FHM and Stuff, and was voted in the Top 100 Maxim women for three years running. She has also appeared in several big films, including Terminator 2 and Nutty Professor 2. Its that two thing again. Now what two does Nikki have that we want to look at again?



She was romantically linked to Bobcat Goldthwait, or to those of you who don’t know him, he was the one who talked like he was retarded in the Police Academy films. He provided the voice for Mr Floppy in Unhappily Ever after, and with his looks I can’t see why she would of ever touched him with a barge pole. Thankfully she is now married to slightly better looking comedian Jay Mohr! Lets hope we get to see much more of Nikki on our screens in the future. Another Hot Chick next week.



There you go lads back to normal! And there is plenty more where she came from as well. Now lets move swiftly on with the blog.This week another star tries to put themselves into the view of George Lucas should he ever decide to do anymore Star Wars films. This week sees celebrity plumper Rosie O’Donnell looking very, well fat as she takes on the role of Princess Amidala. I’m sure acting wise, she could bring a lot to the role, but as a sexy lead in a film, then she does seem to put you off your dinner. I think she would get a part if she auditioned for Jabba The Hutt though!


Right lets head on down to the bar. And after last week, I’m going to keep a steady eye on that barkeeper you know. Non alcoholic my arse!

Little Devil

1 measure gin
1 measure dark rum
1 measure cointreau
1 measure lemon juice

Shake the ingredients together with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.

That’s more like it me old fruit a bit of kick in the old glass. Right lets get me gums around this one then. Goodness gracious great balls of fire it’s a blinder! Ooo that just hit’s the spot after last weeks shall we say slight oversight! Right then lets have another one!
Sho letsch get on wiv it ven. Ooo I’ve gone a bit schwibbly wibbly now wiv thish one. Schow letsch tell you all aboot whoat appened lasht week ven. After this tosher had chucked me out, I decided to nip ov to Boozin Bargins and ave a teensy weensy drinky pops on the old take out. After I ad supped a few I decshided to go fishing wiv me tackle out. Thich voice shouted at me Oi you can’t fish ere. Being a reschpectuble pilliar ovv the cominutty, I ignored him. Then I heard it again. Thish voice boomed out Theres no fish in here, go away. Well I looked around a could shee no one sho I continuededed. Then this loud voice boomed again Look mate there is no fish in here pack up your stuff and go. Sho I schtooded up an shouted you don’t schcare me, who are you?
Then the voice shouted back, I’m the manager of this Ice Rink, now get out! You schee, the tribble I got into lascht week because of this schodding barkepping pershon!




It’s that time again to sit and relax, as I take time out to help another of my weary readers with one of their problems. As you know, my dedicated team of advisors is sifting through the sack loads of letters I get to find the most needy amongst you all. This week we find someone who has a problem that we have all had from time to time. It comes from Tiffany from Epping Forest. She writes:

Captain I desperately need your help. It's my boyfriends birthday soon and I've got no idea what to get him. He is an extremely hard guy to buy for, and he's very fussy to which present he receives. Last year I bought him a lovely bottle of expensive aftershave and a big bar of galaxy which is his favourite chocolate. I can't give him the same presents every year. What can I do to keep him happy. Please Captain you’re my only hope.


Captain Jack Replies: Look I’ve told you all time after time, keep the crap one’s at the bottom of the pile and forward them on to that Deirdre bird from out of the Sun. Right lets give it a go, I’m quite good at buying presents. Two word luv ‘gift vouchers’ If he doesn’t get turned on by them, he’s no real man, I can tell you. You could possibly buy him a silver identity bracelet. Or, you could buy him a few cans of his favourite beer. You always have to remember that it's the thought that counts, so when the big day arrives, tell him you thought of getting him something, but you couldn’t be arsed, then dump the loser! Galaxy, he must be gay or something! Thanks for reading and I hope this will help you in your task.Back to the serious stuff now, with this weeks musical section. As ever we have the Karaoke Classics, the Alternative Musical History and the Live Is Best, but before we get onto that I have my little feature for the culture vultures amongst you. While trawling through the video’s on You Tube for the blog, I have constantly come across a great video poster who has come up with some unique interpretations of modern day songs. He is known as Pianocian, and here is a video of what he does….

See great isn’t it. Well it's certainly different, and I liked it anyway. Don’t worry, there’s plenty more where that came from, so once in a while I will throw one in for you to enjoy. Now back on with the blog, and this weeks…………

Van Halen ~ Dreams

Toronto 1995


This weeks Thursday was again a quite night, mainly I think due to the fact that it is Bank Holiday weekend, and not many people are about, due to the holidays. So yet again there was only three teams in the Quiz, and who won again! Yes it was us. So that is six weeks in a row now. It is getting a little embarrassing. This week the quiz was all music, and apart from the fact that it was very shoddily put together, in fact there was no thought put into it at all, the intro’s quiz was probably the easiest so far, with at one point, almost the entire song being played! This aside, we still won by a huge margin, even though this was supposed to make it easier for the other entrants. Still we made good use of the £10 drinks voucher again. So onto the songs. Well another five to get through this week. They were 1. Wild Side Of Life by Status Quo 2. If This Is It by Huey Lewis & The News 3. Sultans Of Swing by Dire Straits 4. Baby Fratelli by The Fratellis and 5. Private Emotion by Ricky Martin.


Wild Side Of Life by Status Quo

Highest UK Chart Position: Number 9 January 1977

At last a Quo song for me to write about, and what do I find out. That this is actually a cover by the Mighty Quo boys of an old country and western song! Originally released in 1952 by Hank Thompson, the song became one of the most popular recordings in the genre's history, spending 15 weeks at No. 1. It solidified Thompson's status as a country music superstar and inspired the reply song, It wasn’t God who made Honky Tonk Angels by Kitty Wells.
Thankfully Status Quo recorded a more up tempo rock version in their own style in 1977, and took the song into the Top Ten. The band are a cultural British phenomenon, with 32 albums to date to hit the UK album charts, beaten only by The Rolling Stones, and they have had 63 hit singles, more than any other band, with 22 of them reaching the Top Ten. Rick Parfitt and Francis Rossi are the only two original members of the band, and their three chords have kept the band going since they first hit the charts in 1968 with Pictures Of Matchstick Men.
In their 39 year history, it is estimated that Quo have played over 6000 live shows to a total audience in excess of 25 million people. In doing so, the band has travelled some four million miles and spent 23 years away from home. The band has had a lot more highs than lows over the years, and a fact that many people forget is they were actually the band that opened Live Aid back in 1985, and although very nervous, proved to be one of the best bands on the day.
For years it was deemed to be a bit cheesy to like Status Quo, but their catchy riffs and stadium sing along anthems such as Rockin all Over The World and Caroline, have made the band one of the true success stories in British Music.




If This Is It by Huey Lewis & The News

Highest UK Chart Position: Number 39 November 1984


From one band that was cheesy to like to another. Yes Huey Lewis is perhaps most famous for his song featured in the Back To The Future film, The Power Of Love, but before they hit the top with that song, they had released a stack of music with a unique song and style that took a lot of getting used to for the British audiences. This track was taken from the bands album Sports, which also spawned the hit singles The Heart Of Rock And Roll and I Want A New Drug. That song caused controversy when in 1984 Ray Parker Jnr who plagiarized the song for the theme to the film Ghostbusters, a film that the band were originally asked to write a theme song for. They eventually settled in an out of court settlement, but after listening to both songs, I still fail to hear a resemblance.
Their song The Power Of Love was a number-one U.S. hit and featured in the 1985 film Back To The Future, for which they also recorded the theme song Back In Time. Huey Lewis has a cameo appearance in the film as a faculty member who rejects Marty McFly's band's audition for the school's Battle of the Bands contest. Ironically, the piece the band plays is an instrumental version of The Power of Love. Lewis's response in the film is Sorry, fellas... I'm afraid you're just too darn loud. The Power of Love was also nominated for an Academy Award. Lewis also appears later in the film, as a Fedora-wearing man giving a passing glimpse to Marty McFly as he enters 1955 Hill Valley.
Although they won world wide acclaim for the Power Of Love track, they never really enjoyed mush chart success after that track. Despite that, the band is still touring and has recorded a song for Seth Rogens upcoming film The Pineapple Express.





Sultans Of Swing by Dire Straits

Highest UK Chart Position: Number 8 April 1979

I suppose you could say that this is yet another song by a band that was a bit cheesy to like at the time, Dire Straits. But what people don’t realise is that this was their debut single. It was first recorded as a demo at Pathway Studios, North London, and quickly acquired a following after it was put in the rotation at Radio London. It did not take long for the popularity to find its way to record executives, and Dire Straits were offered a contract with Phonogram, a British record company. The song was then re-recorded and released in both the United Kingdom and the United States, though the demo version remained on the original UK Vertigo single.
It entered the US music charts in early 1979. Unusually, the success of this single release came more than six months after the relatively unheralded release of the band's debut album in October of 1978. The song reached the top 10 in both the UK and the US, and helped drive sales of the album, which also became a hit. With its Dylanesque lyrics and economic guitar riffs, the song was a marked change from the waning disco style and the punk movement.
The arrangement of Sultans of Swing was straightforward, with two guitars, a bass, and a straight 4/4 beat on the drums. Dire Straits' original lineup has Mark Knopfler on vocals and lead guitar, David Knopfler on rhythm guitar, John Illsley on bass, and Pick Withers on drums.
The song's story is that of the diverse members of a working-class jazz group who only want to play their distinctive sound in a small London club, and don't care how popular they are. One player mentioned by name, Guitar George, may have been a reference to musician George Borowski, one of Knopfler musical hero’s.
Although he was not given co-writer's credits on the song, Columbia recording artist Bill Wilson is said to have written many of the lyrics to the song while he and Knopfler were both studio musicians working a session in Nashville.
The album version of the song featured a critically acclaimed extended guitar solo, reaching number 22 on Guitar World's list of the greatest guitar solos. Knopfler has improvised and expanded that solo many times during live performances. The definitive live version of the song came as an 11-minute epic performance at the 1988 Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Celebration concert in London when Eric Clapton teamed up with the band to play the song.




Baby Fratelli by The Fratellis

Highest UK Chart Position: Number 24 March 2007

Pretty much the best new band of 2007 and taken from pretty much the best album of 2007. This was the fourth single taken from the multi platinum Costello Music, which propelled the Fratellis into almost everybody’s record collection last year. They steal shtick from the Ramones — the members all go by the adopted last name Fratelli — and riffs and louche-ness from T-Rex, which explains how they produced this unapologetically glammed up, eight ball of a rock song. It's about a skanky girl, but really it's a high-energy ode to the thrill of stupidity, thus its prominent place on the Hot Fuzz soundtrack.
The success of the album led to The Fratellis winning the Brit Award for Best British Breakthrough Act in 2007, an award that was voted for by Radio One listeners. The Fratellis supported Kasabian in December 2006 on their UK tour before playing 10 dates by themselves in February and March 2007. The locations included Nottingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and London.
Following the release of the album, The Fratellis also embarked on a tour of the UK festival circuit, playing at Glastonbury, and headlining at festivals such as NME's Rock 'n' Riot tour, OXEGEN 2007 and T in the Park 2007. They also opened for The Police Reunion Tour in the summer of 2007 in some of the North America dates.
The Fratellis also recorded some cover songs during the year including All Along The Watchtower for Radio 1's 40th Anniversary Double Album, Radio1 Established 1967, and Solid Gold Easy Action for the soundtrack of the film Hot Fuzz, which also included this single Baby Fratelli.




Private Emotion by Ricky Martin ft Meja

Highest UK Chart Position: Number 9 April 2000

Just so I don’t die of embarrassment, this one will be short and sweet. Now Take That I can cope with. Even singing Westlife does have its plus points at times, but Ricky Martin!
Confession time now, this is one I like to use at home as a warm up song before I go out to sing properly, it does give the voice a good work out. Well it’s not Living The Vida Loca or Shake Your Bon Bon, and thankfully is a proper rock ballad of sorts.
In fact, believe it or not it was originally a track on American Rock band The Hooters album, Out Of Body. This version was a duet with Martin singing with Swedish singer Meja, who despite the success of this song, never made it back into the charts. You see that’s what singing with Ricky Martin does to your career!
The song was written by Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman from The Hooters, and they have bothe written some well known hits for other artists. Bazilian also wrote One Of Us for Joan Osbourne and Old Before I Die for Robbie Williams, while Hyman wrote Time After Time for Cyndi Lauper. Ricky Martin went on to become Chico, who almost won the X-Factor! Anyway I think I have just about got away with that one!




To end the music section this week, we of course have the Alternative History. Barry Manilow has always been thought of as a bit of a girl. I mean Her Name Is Lola! What a ponse! And Mandy! More cover material for Westlife! But imagine if he had been born Brenda Manilow, and ended up in girl band Bananarama! I mean who would of noticed the difference? More next week.



Well you may recall that I did pop a little tribute to Man United winning the Premiership a couple of weeks ago instead of It A Funny Old Game, well guess what happened last week! Well lets just say it started with this picture being taken.

Everything was going just fine when the game kicked off in Moscow, and after dominating the first 20 minutes of the game, the best player in the world at the moment popped up and did what he had done 41 previous times this season, he scored.




The first half then ended with a lucky break away goal which was put into the net by Chelsea's Frank Lampard.


Well pretty much nothing too bad happened in the second half of the match. Both sides had chances, and I have to say I had a few heart stopping moments when Drogba hit the post, but my faith in United winning didn't let that spoil the night. Extra Time came and went, with both sides having chances to win the game. Chelsea hit the crossbar again with Lampard, and John Terry headed an almost certain Ryan Giggs shot from giving United the win. But it wasn't to be, and the only black mark on the game was Didier Drogba being sent off for striking Vidic right at the end of the game. So would this have a bearing on the penalty shoot out?

Well it was all going swimmingly well and with it delicately poised at 2-2 on penalties Ronaldo stepped up to score a certain penaly until.....

Huge lump in throat time here. With that save after an awful Ronaldo penalty, Chelsea took the lead. United scored again to make it 4-4 leaving John Terry to walk up and score the penalty that would give Chelsea the European Cup until this happened.


Poor John Terry. Well poor John Terry for about 5 seconds. United levelled up the score and a couple more penalties were taken making it 5-5. Ryan Giggs, who tonight broke Bobby Charlton's club appearences record, stepped up to make it 6-5 in favour of United, leaving Nicolas Anelka to step up to take his shot. But with Edwin Van Der Sar not getting his hands on a penalty yet, he had to save one didn't he?


With a glint in his eye and a smile on his face, big Ed saved Anelka's shot, and queue the celebration's as the players rushed to celebrate with the hero of the night.


So it was United who won the double they have wanted so much since 1999, and nobody had a bigger smile on his face than Paul Scholes, who missed the last final due to being suspended, but when the trophy was handed over the celebration could truly begin.


So who do we have to thank for this, well the main man of course, who has masterminded this win, and pretty much made himself the greatest club manager ever is of course Alex Fergusson.

And despite missing his penalty in the shoot out, who could deny they greatest player on the planet from crowning this season with yet another trophy, its Cristiano Ronaldo.

Of course the big pat on the back goes to Ryan Giggs who not only broke the club appearences record, but continued to show what a credit to the club and football he is, with an almost unbeatable 10 Premier League medals in his trophy cabinet, but also his second Champion's League winners medal.

So this season has proved to be a great one for the boys from Manchester, and it means that it's the third time that United have been crowned King's Of Europe.


Well thats just about it for another week, and after the excitement of the Champions League, and the excitement of winning yet another quiz at the hotel, this week has been an eventfull one. Just time enough to bring you the answer to the Every Picture Quiz this week. The answer for all of you scratching you heads was of course...
So that just leaves me to say have a good week, and I will be back with lots more fun and frolics next week. It's only seven day's away folks, so until next time.......Ta Ra.
Denham: Let me through, officer, my name's Denham...Lieutenant, I'm Carl Denham.
Passerby: Denham? He's the one that captured the monster!
Police Lieutenant: Well, Denham, the airplanes got him.
Denham: Oh no, it wasn't the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast.
