Can anyone remember a song that started each verse with those words? At least, I think it was 'Monica'... it may have been 'Jessica' or something else that ended in '-ca'.
'70s, I think....
This would be in the late '90s / early '00s: a Viz-style parody of Just 17 photostories. I'm not sure if there was only one issue (One of the stories was called 'A story in just 17 photos' - clever)...
Does anyone have a copy of this? It had Eddie Van Halen on the cover, and - the thing I'm looking for - is a transcription of David Gilmour's solo from 'Yet Another Movie' with a harmonic analysis. If...
I'm tempted to have a crack at recreating this healthy and nutritious dish from my childhood in Scotland. What are the practicalities, though? Are the pies cooked in an oven first or microwaved prior...
Can anybody point me towards a shop that stocks this Spanish beer (or better yet, a bar that serves it)?
There are places selling it online, but they're permanently out of stock....
I want to fit a screen to my bath but due to a window on the top of the wall, I'm restricted in height. Every screen that I've seen online is 1400mm in height - is there anywhere doing one that's...
One had a call-and-response vocal line and horn line ('Here I am...' or something similar) and an ascending 'la la la' chorus. The second had a melody that shifted in a similar way to The Teddy Bears'...
This has bothered me for years. I heard it a few times on Capital Radio and never managed to clock who it was by. It had a sort of stop-start rhythm, sung by a female singer, with slide guitars in the...
One of my friends was asked by his employer if he would take a 12% drop in salary during the crisis. They were only asking this of employees above a certain salary band, and they said that it would be...
With UK furlough extended until the end of June (and maybe even further), a lot of people who've been furloughed are looking for new jobs. What is the legal position if you found a new job but just...
I've got a small flower bed that I'm increasing the height of - currently there are 14 bricks in a line, which is all that's needed. I'd like to cement them in place, but just how much mortar would I...
I've been having discussions with an agency who are interested in trying to get my stuff in front of a publisher. They seem legitimate - they've got a decent roster of clients and writers. One of the...
I came home today to find that my fence has been replaced by the builders doing works on the adjacent property. I didn't give them any authorisation to do so and in fact, they'd asked to do this a...
Another obscure one (s'help me, I'm good at them). Back in the '80s there was a piece of music that was demonstrated on a science programme, made without instruments - it was done with bottles, rubber...
Does that ring any bells? I had misremembered it as Family at War but it's not that... the closing titles were a slow dolly zoom along a straight path in a forest with dramatic music....
(DISCLAIMER: I'm sure you failiar folks get the memo, and probably are angry that I'm posting this subject again. But I am serious when I post this, because it's a problem that I have been having for...
This is going back to the early '70s... when I was at infant school we learned a few songs from a song book, and the one that stuck in my head had the lyrics: "Sun bird tell me a story Of a day long...
