  1. He says he quit. Possibly for his own good but there aren't many big alternatives out there to go and join. Probably realised he'll not have his Dad's influence behind the scenes any more too. I'm guessing Dustin won't be hanging around either.

    France and last 16. I can barely name a player in the French team but home advantage counts a lot. England to hammer everyone in their group, finish top but end up playing in the last 16 against a napping Spain who finish third in Group D and sneak through having finally woken up. :D
  3. ???!?!!?! I think Gangsta Trippin' is one of Norman Cook's weakest records. As I discussed much earlier in this thread, I was disappointed that his natural cheesiness popped into the Fatboy Slim persona which had, up until Rockafeller, been slightly less obvious in its output.

  5. Best to assume I'm anti- everything from beyond 1992 unless I say otherwise ;)

    Well, that was quite special - and I do recall being quite wowed by Toyah when I saw that the first time too. I also seem to remember my babysitter (the teenage bloke from across the road) getting pretty excited during the Legs & Co routine for Hands Up and, of course, Adam Ant swinging on a chandelier is still a great moment. My parents never watched TOTP so this was an isolated episode for me before I started watching it off my own back around 1987. By the way, is it my imagination of is the line up of Legs & Co ever changing in 1981? I know they were on their last legs (& co - boom boom!) at this point, but keep seeing new faces, new legs, new co.
  7. When you put it that way...
  8. Yeah, it always felt like T-Spoon's record came out five years too late - but it showed there was still a market for cod-reggae so bad even UB40 wouldn't give it the time of day. In some ways it makes sense that this is included while Ace of Base wasn't. It was going against the norm, rather than the current pop standard and therefore has a slightly more "dance" feel than what else was around then. Or does that not make any sense at all?

    OMG this is practically impossible!! I mean, how are you supposed to even look these up!? ;) ;) ;) Will send some awful guesses soon.

    Don't forget Leslie Phillips and June Whitfield - but then they showed up looking hacked off in Columbus already. This probably says more about the state of funding for British films right now. Has it really got to the point where they'll only sanction a script if it has a noted brand associated with it?

    As Mack said, this story pops up every few years and nothing ever comes of it. I really like the old Carry Ons but there were some real stinkers back in the day too. Carry On England, Carry On Behind and Carry On Emmanuelle are all awful.
