I really liked Mad World at the time because of Donnie Darko- but, in retrorespect, the Gary Jules version of Mad World wasn't very good really. But it did stop the Darkness getting to number one, which is very good indeed. :dance: I think the best track on that chart by far is Too Lost In You by Sugababes.

My favourite from there is Feeder- Just A Day. Brilliant track, still play it today. But I also like the songs by Kate Winslet, S Club 7 (it is a decent pop song), PPK, Kosheen and, surprisingly, Dannii Minogue. Worst for me are the songs by Hear'Say, Ian Van Dahl, Stereophonics, Steps, The Tweenies, that awful Hermes House Bands cover- and Cliff Richard. That medley of Somewhere Over The Rainbow and What A Wonderful World he did isn't even original itself. It's a cover of a much better version by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole that he did in 1993. The rest are all quite average I think.

It is ridiculous that all that erupted over naming a teddy bear whichever way you look at it. By the sounds of it there may be more to all this than this than meets the eye. I think there have been good points made that this teacher and this issue has just been used as a political pawn. Of course it could just be as silly as it looks.

I live in a town with quite a large Muslim population, and I've never experienced any objection whatsoever from Muslims about Christmas. Quite the opposite, Asian taxi drivers for example often wish people a Merry Christmas. It does seem to be overly sensitive middle class white people responsible for all this "PC" sort of thing- which in the end does nothing but cause more trouble.

Yeah, I loved them. One of my favourite bands.

I love how papers try and mislead people so much. I really don't understand why this judgement "proves" the Human Rights Act must be axed. Then again the Sunday Express is one of the reactionary papers.

I remember hearing a lot about Tutankhamun in school, so I was interested in this.

I agree with the original post- Heather Mills is her own worst enemy. The way she's been carrying on in the last few weeks won't have done her any favours whatsoever. It should have been obvious the media would crucify her after those outbursts, so she was at least fairly stupid to not realise that. Either that or she just likes all the attention whether its positive or negative. She is a gold digger as well. Paul McCartney isn't innocent in that- unless he is incredibly naive. He must have been very pleased with himself that he could pull a much younger woman, an ex model no less, and he must have known that she wouldn't give him the time of day if he wasn't as wealthy as he is. It's always happened. He knew, or should have known, what he was letting himself in for. But that doesn't mean that Heather Mills deserves sympathy.

1973. Feeling - You're So Vain 1983. James Morrison - Come Back And Stay 1987. Stereophonics - You Sexy Thing 1991. Groove Armada & Alan Donohue - Crazy For You

1970. Robbie Williams - Lola 1973. Feeling - You're So Vain 1979. Mika & Armand Van Helden - Can't Stand Losing You 1987. Stereophonics - You Sexy Thing 1993. Kooks - All That She Wants

I think The Streets version of "Your Song" is the worst one on there to be honest. My favourites were: Foo Fighters- Band On The Run Sugababes- Betcha By Golly Wow The Gossip- Careless Whisper Mutya Buena- Fast Car The Twang- Drinking In L.A Hard-Fi- Toxic

I neither love or hate her. I'm kind of indifferent to her. I've always been surprised she seems to generate such strong opinions from people though. JK and Joel were rubbish, so I'm glad they're gone. I thought Wes wasn't too bad actually. I always thought he was similar to Scott Mills.

I suppose Britney's proved there's no such thing as bad publicity.

I agree with you. As dull as Fearne and Reggie are, Tim Kash was a far worse presenter, and as the executive producer Andi Peters will have had more effect of what went on with the show than any of the presenters would have.

I liked it. I will definitely get this album. Heavyweight Champion Of The World was great.
