    For some reason this puts me in mind of a tune by Fred Wedlock. I would let on but the profanity filter wouldn't allow it :biggrin:

      You could put the title of the tune on, and then if people look it up themselves outside of GC then no GC rule will be broken. Unless the title has naughty words in it.

        No naughty title. I can only find it on Spotify, here's the link. One needs a Spotify account though, although it's easy to set up. The tune is 'Handier Household Help'.

          Other halves friend is having a party but as her grandkids will be there I will stay in :heehee:
          I may just pop down to Ahmeds tandoori kitchen and partake of a cup of tea and curry though.

            I'll be staying in with the dogs because they don't like fireworks. I wish that tradition had never started. Wouldn't be as bad if they just let them off at midnight, but sometimes they go off sporadically until 3am. Personally I'd ban them completely, especially with the impact they have on wildlife. Bah Humbug.

                    Yeah, that's the one :blue thumb: I looked for that once before but was unable to find it? It's not actually that offensive (I think), depends on ones threshold :)

                        I thought it was quite comical, especially back in the day. I saw Fred Wedlock in '75 (?) at the Granary in Bristol, the audience were in stitches, great night :)
