I think part of the problem might be related to people's ages too. I'd expect most my age and up to have a copy of Marsha Brody on Hot Shot knocking around, while people who started at say, Stafford, or later might not. I am drinking wine after a tough day though so might be talking cack. And, as the owner of two cats (Mayfield and Bootsy), I'll knock that feckin' Schr¶dinger's teeth out when I catch him.

Really? Never knew that. Anyone want a warped but plays ok copy at a good price - pm me.

Realised I missed a couple and have now deleted. I have to go and read for tomorrow's lecture now, so will check back tomorrow. I expect considerable change. Cheers for a fun evening peeps.

Fraid not, Rod. Just one of them I sold and then never got round to replacing as I ended up with it on CD.

Happy to oblige If we're ticking them off the top 500 should people just delete stuff they haven't got from the list and re-post or will that get too complicated for people from the home counties and so forth?

I'll bet you do!

Serves you right. Talk about a bit of power being a dangerous thing! You were a right bloody tyrant.

Jack Montgomery is still in the lead isn't he?

Actually it'll take him hours to catch up, so if we keep writing crap we can stay ahead of him. The suggestion about the bucket of flour over the door was a good one too. Let's mess about till final bell!

Shhhh he's back!!!

No I think it's TSU Tomatoes. Please pay attention

You wanna sort Pete60 out sir. He keeps trying to make me mess about.

Yep - Jack's in.

70s soul? I'd be better off with twisted oldies, preferably white pop with slightly a psychedelic edge, Burning Bush, The Present, Susan Farrar and so on. Got all of them. Not suggesting they'd be appropriate for this thread mind you. Is it obvious that I've abdicated by the way?

Missss!! Bully!!!!!

If you look he seemed to just chose a section from 300 and odd to 400 and odd, presumably deleting the ones he doesn't own out of that section. I just PM'd him anyway cos I can't tell anymore if I'm a pupil or a student teacher but I need a wee and might cry soon....

GRASSS!!!!

I don't think you're supposed to add one until you say you ain't got one. But letting you off, No to Ernie but yes to Earl. Actually I've just realised that I don't understand Rod's criteria for the ones he left in out of the Top 500. Anyone get it?

Not really - I fessed up to Footsie! Just teasing really, but I haven't got it anyway. Hey - while Rod's away shall we pile up all the chairs in the middle of the class room?
