Hello again...it's another Sunday evening..doesn't time fly by as one gets older?

Anyhoo..we now come to Fishy Jim's nom, and is it just me..or is this theme a case of Deja Vu? Cos i'm sure we have done this one before, not too long ago...nom'd by Tech, if i remember correctly...or similar anyways. But no reason why we can't do it again..so.....here's what Jim wants us pick for this round:

'Bonus tracks - Any track added to a CD album as either an original release 'hidden' track or a re-release bonus track not on the original. This does not include any track which is a remix or a single version, but can be a single b-side that has been subsequently added to a re-released album'

Let's be having those hidden 'gems' please, in the usual fashion, thank you.

Until Wednesday then...TTFN.

So, i'll go for this 90s hidden track gem.

We've actually got the first rain we've had in weeks which is good as itI might have topped the pool up a bit. We're under severe water usage restriction here at the moment so can't just run the hosepipe round to the pool.

Starts to warm up again tomorrow and back up to 30 degrees by Friday.

Off to the vet with Rig this afternoon to start the process of getting him his French Pet Passport.

Are we allowed a track from a bonus album, i.e one that was a limited release with the album proper in a tour box set?

This version is a hidden track at the end of Walk the Dinosaur on the Hello Dad...I'm in Jail album.

Sounds like it could be a good 'un.

So.....anybody put down a bet on blonde mop head Boris not going the distance to Oct 31st, then? His short tenure as PM, is hanging by the thinnest of threads already!

So.....anybody put down a bet on blonde mop head Boris not going the distance to Oct 31st, then? His short tenor as PM, is hanging by the thinnest of threads already!

Why so? I have every confidence the Supreme Court will overturn the Scottish court. The current session of Parliament has been one of the longest ever, and it's high time it ended and a new one begun. If the remainers wish to revive the terrible May deal, I think it would be unlawful to do so during this session, as the House has rejected it three times already, and by the largest majority of any defeated government bill too.

Are we resurrecting the politics thread here? Unlike the calm and unified nation at large, only chaos, division, acrimony and ill-feeling can result from any discussion of Breakshit and Bore-us here (truly a Johnson in the American vernacular sense).

Are we resurrecting the politics thread here?

Hopefully not, but the question was asked, and it only seemed reasonable to respond here too.

I wasn't directing it at anyone in particular and you didn't set the hare running.

Evening all.

Very much a polarised voting round this week...with most nominations failing to break double figures. But 2 tracks did and have run away with it, almost neck to neck. This week's winners are:

*Edit: I bollocks this all up...so see the correction further down folks..not that it matters much now...the two concerned, had already noticed what I hadn't!*

...someway back from those two...but scored 7 points for his efforts, 'Diamond B****cks' by Beck, so the final rosette goes to TheFoe, another chap who's also doing quite well with his noms of late.

By the way Nick....i would've plumped for the Beck track too..if i'd got it in sooner! Likes minds an all that! :)

Well done you three & the rest of us need to buck up our ideas! ;-)

But we're not done there yet. The man who devised this theme, Fishy Jim, also gets some recognition too. His nom 'Lost In Time' by Charlotte Hatherley, clearly was far too lost on the rest of us, probably to another dimension entirely!

Bad luck Jim....but you do get something.....a slightly different award this week...seeing i'm temporarily out of the (non existant!) wooden spoons..so here's your complimentary Rubber Duck instead!

Next..it's return of the wildcard round....i hope we get a bit more interest for this one, as of lately, the number of noms and voters, have a been a little down than usual.

Folks must be busy with life or summin'! :)

Rightio..i best get that sorted then....

i love this game - ye can win even when ye don't!

ignore this post!

Err, you should have gone to Specsavers, Duke. It's Beak> who have 15 points, and the Specials 13! 😂

refer it to VAR!

I demand a Steward's Enquiry :-D

Aw bollocks! I checked everything, bar which score applied to which song..duh!

I guess, one shouldn't put any faith in a blind man being a reliable witness, eh!

Right correction & apologies to Sussex & Tech..the correct awards are:

1st = Dursley - Beak> - 15 = SussexWelsh
2nd = Friday Night, Saturday Morning - The Specials - 13 = Tech the 23rd
3rd = Diamond B****cks - Beck - 7 = TheFoe

Sorry about that chaps.

PS: Tech...is there some significance with the rolling upards *edit: upward* count in your avatar name? I coulda sworn it was Tech XII, not that long ago! :)

Funnily enough Tim..i went to my local branch of that very purveyor of ocular headwear, for my annual eye test, just 3 days ago! My optometrist decreed that there was no change since last time, i'm fine for another year!!!! ;-D

I'm just not very good at admin! :)

"the rolling upards count"

i have no idea what that is/means.

but, yes.

no, it wasn't.

Methinks tech is actually a clone, like the Vorta in Star Trek DS9. When one 'dies' a new one is activated, hence the rolling over of the number. 😉

like dr who (more like dr w.t.f,), i'm on my 23rd regeneration!

Tech XXIII wrote: "like dr who (more like dr w.t.f,), i'm on my 23rd regeneration!"

More like Davros... from Skaa-ro. ;-)

as i would tell you!

Tech must be living a high risk life then....as he seems to be 'regenerating' at an alarming rate!

theDuke wrote: "Tech must be living a high risk life then....as he seems to be 'regenerating' at an alarming rate!"

A regenerating degenerate, there's a thing!

.......or 23 things!
