If you saw this muppet show video you'd think nothing of it, it's the muppet show. But when you sitting in the garden drinking a beer, listening to 1977 music and it comes on, you think, what the fuck is this doing in the charts? :lol:

As ear-worm songs go that's OK for me. There may be some negative connotations I'm not aware of. But to me it's just childlike fun.

How long does it take to boil an egg ... when you can't remember how long ago you put it in the hot water? :lol:

All I was saying is it's fine if you're watching it on TV, you can see it's muppets for children. When you're half-cut, got the headphones on, don't see the video, I was wondering, what idiot wrote that song? :lol:

Please don't start an ear-worm sub-thread. I wake up early sometimes and the stuff that will not shift from my mind is all stuff I like. But at 4am on repeat is a monumental pain in the mind. Any suggestions for how to treat this affliction are very welcome.:-)

I have same problem and the only way to shift one is to replace it with another :lol:

I've just stumbled across a long-forgotten song, Elkie Brook's Pearl's A Singer, and I can't get that out of my mind now. I had to play it while I was trading a Brazilian Serie B match.

In 4th year maths J-Law used to sing this and change the words to parabola when Girvan was teaching quadratic equations

If you're gonna set fire to a pub, don't arrange for the diggers to demolish it until it's up in flames. :)

Neither do I. I just heard an author being interviewed on FYI and she said she reads her own books. :lol:

Ok. I often look at my own code and diary stuff and am perplexed by who this person was. Seems a lot more intelligent than me. WTF happened!
