May 29, 201510 yr Nothing other than a landslide victory for PSB will be acceptable :P I'd normally agree, but Opportunities ain't the record to do it. How about It's a Sin as the overall ultimate 80 number one? :D :D :D Will post me results at lunch time...it'll take a lot to beat The Clash! Refreshing to see non-Scots voting in this so less chance of the effing Proclaimers winning. Edited May 29, 201510 yr by richie
