Jaysus Sammy - 10 would have been better but I know you like to kill the patients. You started at 30 and 4 were dead by the time you got to No 1. Especially when they heard that ***** No 20. Number one is bang on - 11, 16 and 17 should be higher. 15 should be destroyed - and the artist ....

Swop 2 and 3. Actually fook 2 out of there completely.

Chris de Burgh? Really Sammy really?

**SamiPremier08** Wed Dec 15, 2010 8:52 pm

Oh you're back? Neutral

Yeah I am back don't sound so happy.

Numbers 11, 14, 17 and 25 should be higher.

The only list I'd have Chris De Burgh on is a hit list.

And did he not have a big smash with 'I Saw Mammy Kissing Santa Claus' ??? No maybe it was 'I Saw Daddy Kissing the Nanny' I'm thinking of ..........

Still no room for Boxty's selection:
The 40 Sweet Afton a day sound of Chris Rea.."Driving home for Christmas"

This "list" is utter humbug.

Boxty calls it well here - heard it on the car radio this evening and it is indeed a timeless classic. Its sh1t the first time you hear it right through to the last time you hear it!! Timeless ....

Mind you I recall going to see Chris Rea at the Stadium in Dublin in 1983 or '84 ( affraid

) in a bid to impress the woman of the day.

I recall nearly burning the fooking thumb off meself during the obligatory cigarette lighter vigil for Love's Strange Ways. Ah .. the things you did to impress a woman ...

Thanks Box. Very Happy
