Ring My Bell was, as Dandy, said originally about kids talking on the phone and written for Stacy Lattislaw who's management turned it down, She hit in 1980 with Jump To The Beat though.

Yes Dandy. She had a BBC TV show and sang that each week so that's why it became so popular.

The Official Labour Calmer Steering Thread (mk III)
Angela Rayner now bookies favourite for next PM despite her housing purchase woes. She still has huge support. Her and Burnham are only two who could beat Starmer with an MP vote, over 50%. Burnham more than Angela. Miliband and Streeting, no.

Sky News: WE'RE RECEIVING ANONYMOUS INFORMATION THAT DAVID LAMMY MP (DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER) IS BEING BRIEFED AND PREPARED TO TAKE OVER AS INTERIM PM PENDING STARMER'S RESIGNATION AS EARLY AS 6PM THIS EVENING BUT POSSIBLY NEXT THURSDAY. STILL TRYING TO GET VERIFICATION FROM SOURCES. Sounds like he's going to resign....

By-elections 2024 (Part 2)
Very bad decision. Who's on the NEC? STARMER. He's running scared of Burnham. He may not even have been elected or may not have won and PM challenge. Anyway his Mayoral term expires before the GE, in 2028 I believe, so he could stand then and they couldn't use the Mayoral cost excuse.

Dave gets his fourth number one single, helping Tems to get her first. Robbie Williams gets a record-breaking sixteenth number one album.
I think Taylor will easily take Robbie's record soon.

The Gallup Years- Top 10 Sales- 1992
Yes they say it was the video. Had a huge jump upwards after it was first shown on TOTP.

The Gallup Years- Top 10 Sales- 1992
Strangely I've never in 34 years got the appeal of Stay and why it stayed at No.1.... To me it's nothing special but hey what do I know....Preferred You're History. Stars was a great album and best seller in both 91 and 92. Rare that happens.

John's 1976 Original Charts
I Love To Love is still one of my favourite songs of all time and a well deserved No.1. December '63 is the Four Seasons' best song. Better than any of their 60's efforts. Love To Love You Baby was banned by Radio 1 and so skipped by Tom Bowne on the Sunday chart. I believe Capital avoided it too but good old Luxy played it of course. Dat, Convoy and It Should Have Been Me which was on Motown were great too. Year of O levels and I left school. Red hot summer, great chart music, huddling round a lads pocket radio in school to see what was No.1 or listening outside the 6th Form common room as they were allowed a radio. Started work in Emgas offices in Sheffield. Fainted on train one day as it was so hot and had to stand. Holiday in Ireland and was just as hot. Dad had his wallet nicked on beach when we were all in sea. Garda weren't bothered really.

Trump: Folie à Deux (US Politics Thread)
Did anyone see his speech at DAVOS? Comedy Gold. Called Greenland Iceland and Ireland... "Without us you'd all be speaking German now and maybe a little Japanese." All he's asking for is a piece of ice, very cold ice. Wants to build a huge dome from which he'll defend Canada who should be extremely grateful. Doesn't sound as if he'll take it by force. "you can says yes and we'll be very grateful. Say no and we'll remember"

Trump: Folie à Deux (US Politics Thread)
I think Denmark will sell Greenland to the US. That's what I think will happen. Trump won't just back down but bet Denmark does. Let's see. Meanwhile, Usha Vance will be the first US Second Lady to give birth whilst in office. Baby expected July.
