I really enjoyed Challenge Anneka. But I have my doubts that it would even work these days.
I don't think there is the same amount of good feeling, charity or money to spare any more.
It's a shame though. They did some really good work.

Why is this thread sticky?
Could it be all the cleansing milk and Oil of Ulay?

Jim Croce wrote and recorded a number of beautiful songs before his early death in a plane crash when he was still in his 20s.His best known songs include Time in a Bottle, I had to Say I Love You in a Song, Photographs and Memories, Big, Bad LeRoy Brown and I Got A Name.
Thanks for those and the info. 
I have heard of Big, Bad Leroy Brown and I will see if I can find any of them on my music download site.

I miss :-
Yardley's Honeysuckle range of perfume and toiletries.
Proper 'Camp' coffee not the coffee flavoured syrup they make these days.
Pineapple flavoured Hi Juice from Tesco.

Rowntrees Greengage Jelly I loved that stuff, and I'd forgotten about it too. How could I have??People who say 'Thankyou' when you hold a door open for them.Proper coverage of The Horse Of The Year Show.The REAL It's A Knockout'. I know the presenters are older than Methuselah, if they're even still alive, but the remake with Keith Chegwin is just not the same.The Krypton Factor and The Adventure Game.Tootie Minties. If that's what they were called. LOLThe days when people actually rang you back if they said they would. (I've waited 2 days now for a ring back from BT.)

You know when you're living in 2007 when the judges want to reduce the length of prison sentence for murder.
Reduce it to what?

I love Time In A Bottle although I must admit that's the only song of his that I've heard. At least I think it is.
I like Our Lady Peace too, especially the song they did for the movie The Craft. I think it was called something like Tomorrow Never Knows.

I love REM's Shiny Happy People and The Monkees. I think my favourite of theirs is Take A Giant Step.
Other favourites are:-
Knock On Wood by Amii Stewart.
Video Killed The Radio Star by The Buggles.
Rock The Casbah by The Clash.
Unbelievable by EMF.
Stacey's Mom by Fountains Of Wayne.
Molly Smiles by Jesse Spencer.
Wimmin by Ashley Hamilton.
And mostly anything by ABBA.
Any of these songs give me a silly, happy feeling and some of them even have me laughing out loud, dancing, and singing along at the top of my voice.
Much to the embarassment of my kids.
Probably not a good idea to listen to them if I was driving though.

Velvet - IF it was genuinely meant as a joke and not a knock at anyone, I am sorry. But what I don't get is why say it in the first place? How was it relevant to the eclipse? As far as I could see, you were having a dig at GC because she said she wasn't impressed by the eclipse. Maybe I got that wrong - although GC and Oldspice both came to the same conclusion...
But don't you see that's why I didn't expect the reaction I got, because it WAS irrelevant?

The eclipse thread also wasn't the first time you've had a dig at someone for watching TV. I made a comment in the Waterloo Road thread about two popular shows up against each other, and your response was something like 'Oh good grief
I'm sorry but I did not post on the Waterloo Road thread. I wanted to avoid any discussion about school girls in or out of uniforms.
The quote you mention was in the Ugly Betty thread, programmes with names like Ugly Betty, Jam and Jerusalem and Bonkers! and I said I didn't watch them, you made me feel like I was missing out on something, but with names like those I couldn't think what it might be, the truth behind that statement is simply that, but I think I failed to make my meaning clear and once again a simple misunderstanding leads to resentment and anger when that was really not my intention.

As for saying my comment in the Breakfast Club thread was confusing, I think it was anything but - in fact, even your average Corrie fan could understand it. I was saying that it's a bit rich to criticise people for watching the TV shows they enjoy, then to wax lyrical about a film that's hardly highbrow.
Exactly, I am NOT highbrow, so why would I think I have ANY right to criticize anyone? I wouldn't, that's what I find so confusing. But of course because you don't know me you don't know that. Sorry.
I do not watch soaps or TV series as a rule because I have a toddler and two teenagers (well almost, my son is 12 soon, but acts 14 now!!!) and with guides and cubs, canoeing and pantomime rehearsals, boyfriends/girlfriends and trips to the pictures, parties, disco's and sleep-overs, (all for them not me you understand!) I cannot gaurantee where I am going to be on any given night. I soon lose interest when I only see one programme in about every 6 or 7.

By the way, I haven't said a single word about your children. What I'd like to know is why we're supposed to take your snide comments as a joke, but anything we say in response is rude?
No, I realise you didn't, but my children's names were brought up in this discussion, and I object to them being dragged into this in what appeared to be an effort to hurt me in some way as they are lovely kids and do not deserve to be used in such a way.
I have explained myself here and I will promise to try and make my meanings more clear in future, but really I do not put undercurrents into my posts, what I say is what I mean and if I was going to 'have a go' at someone I would come right out with it as I can be quite rude when I feel it necessary.
I intended no slight to anyone and was not aware of any snide comments, but I will watch out for that.
Now this whole thing is really silly and since you have apologised to me, and I will now apologise to you all -I am very sorry- for any unintentional but obviously hurtful things my posts may have inadvertantly seemed to contain, I would love it if we could start again with a clean slate?
Wow some BIG words in there huh?
