Here we are again and after last weeks fairly decent turnout we go back to being a ghost pub again. I've come to the conclusion that this is now in some way related to being paid monthly as it always seems busy on the last or first week of a month and then dead for the middle weeks. Hopefully I'm wrong and next week will be busy but somehow I can't see it.Maybe they've all got their savings in a Northern Rock account and are queueing up overnight to take their money out! What is it with them queues?? Do they not realise that they are making the problem much worse? I bet they're the same dithering old people you see lined up outside the post office every monday morning 30 minutes before it even opens so that they can get their weekly money. It'll still be there later on you idiots! Totally went off on a tangent, sorry, must be the wine!
Back on track and a quiet pub means a good dose of songs for us to sing as well as plenty of chat time pre singing in where, as usual, Scott and I disagree on the merit of having David Beckham in the England team. I'm still not sure which matches Scott was watching at the weekend (the Womens world cup maybe??) as he believes that England were crap despite us winning 3-0 twice. In my opinion: we don't miss Beckham, we definately don't miss Lampard, Ashley Cole is crap and wants dropping, Owen does play much better off Heskey (who has now bust his foot!) than any other strike partner and, and this is where I do agree with Scott, Wright-Phillips is like one of those little wind up toys that go whoosh along the floor and then.......nothing, about as much end product as the Portugese police. :o
Song-wise this week and no real stand outs to be honest, it was all fairly run-of-the-mill stuff which was just about right for the subdued pub atmosphere. I didn't even get that pissed either this week, I just couldn't get in the mood for it. The drinking that is. Please! I found out this week what the current plans are for this years New Years Eve fancy dress: either a Beach Party theme or Doctors & Nurses. Not the most imaginative of ideas but with the choice of women wearing bikinis etc or nurses outfits I think I might not complain (Giggsy's words, not mine ;) ) Oh well, either way means I won't be sweltering in a Darth Vader costume this year :)

** SHAUNS SONGS **
| Tenpole Tudor - Swords Of A Thousand Men | 3rd time | ||
| Year of release: 1981 Peak chart position: #6 UK A nice easy one to start the night off with having sung it numerous times before since aquiring the track from SBI (and a very good version it is too). Almost certain to start another night off again sometime. | |||

| Crazy Town - Butterfly | 1st for 2007 | ||
| Year of release: 2001 Peak chart position: #3 UK It's been a long time since I last sang this and Crazy Town seem to have disappeared in the meantime. I think it's fair to say that they were a one-hit wonder with this track although they did feature on a Paul Oakenfold track - Starry Eyed Suprise which I may do next week. Still, a nice little number and one that will probably get another run out eventually. | |||

| Dexys Midnight Runners - Geno | 1st for 2007 | ||
| Year of release: 1980 Peak chart position: #1 UK Geno!, Geno!, Geno! Not one of my planned tracks but Tina suggested it as I'd not sang it for some time. I remember Dad having the Dexys album many years ago and I used to play this and Come On Eileen over and over again as they were my favourites. Mind you, I used to play Tight Fit - Fantasy Island a lot too which I'm not sure says a great deal for dads musical choice back then (my excuse is that I was only 6 or 7 ;) ). Either way, a great song to bring out once in a while and will be done again no doubt. | |||
| tonights-rating: | do-again-rating: | ||
| Luniz - I Got 5 On It | **NEW SONG** | ||
| Year of release: 1996 Peak chart position: #3 UK Another one that I've dug out from my 'best rap album in the world' compilation CD! I don't think there's many more left to do on it now, at least not that are available anyway (Dream Warriors | |||

And so until next week...
