Sorry to hear that Duke, I know how painful that can be. I slipped a disc years ago and it ended up pushing on my sciatic nerve. The surgeon shaved the disc using keyhole surgery, and said he saw the sciatic nerve straighten immediately as a result of this. Worst pain ever that I've experienced, but treatable. Hopefully yours will untrap itself without need of surgery.

So many double negatives;

There must be sunshine, she must be a choir girl, we must have something, you must have seen something yet, etc.

Brass Neck wrote: "So many double negatives;

Well...where there's a double neg...means it's a pos! So....by that token then..what we got here is:

There is sunshine (certainly is right now!), she is a choir girl, the Magoos are lying, cos they have got something (!), something was definitely seen, there is love in heart of the city, Santa did show up, Cox will go boohoo again, maybe there is or there isn't a house party (?!), Martyn has got his sainthood and Mellencamp is positively satisfied...but we don't know what of! ;-)

Isn't that wot I said?

Brass Neck wrote: "So many double negatives;

Ain't in those terms is surely more a strengthening of the negative, ain't it? 😉

Yeh... i woz just confirming and expanding on your finkin'...innit! :)

Hello there.

On the mend..but still a bit 'squeaky' in places....but better than i was last week. Rightio...the scores and the winners. Low scoring round, with some barely escaping the ignominy of of those wooden kitchen utensils.....but the weather is nice in most places so who cares?!

Edit: Corrected;

Topping the bill for this week is 'You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet' by Bachman Turner Overdrive, which scored 17 points..meaning i get to claim the top spot this week...yay go me!

2 points back..'Ain’t No Love In the Heart of The City' by Bobby “Blue” Bland, claims 2nd place...which means once again...she stays on the podium folks..it's Jemma!

Finally a tie for 3rd place with 12 points apiece: 'Ain't No Sunshine' by Bill Withers, nominated by Mr Brass Neck & 'Ain't Nothing But A House Party' by The Show Stoppers, nominated by KJS.

Well done to the four of us...hard luck everyone else. A bit polarised with the voting this week i thought.

Another boring result.
