Aw....woss g'wan on ere then? The scores are all over the place! Derek gave Noah 3 points but added 4 & Lez not only left out Spacepig's votes, but took the proverbial by awarding max points to The Smith Street Band, but got confused, so instead of the total coming to 12 points, she seemed to have added on 12 points! Cheeky! Tut tut..on the naughty step for an hour Lez! ;-)

But, ahem... thanks for giving my nom some points Lez! :-D

/*#@#&*! Duke, I ‘m so sorry! My iPad died again and I’ve been struggling with my old one which is running out of storage and keeps reverting to Settings. No excuse really, I’ll see if there’s room on the Naughty Step. :-(

Try deleting some stuff, Lez

[Lez]

I’ve deleted all I can, Tim. It’s only 16GB. The poorly one’s 32 which is ample.

So..we finally made it! Gotta say...these ipads aren't much cop are they? All I seem to read about them from owners of these highly priced devices, are the problems they keep having with them. And they cost how much?! Buy a laptop! I use a Acer lappy, which is now over 6 years old..still going fine..apart from the ever continuing pointless Win10 feature updates (I really haven't noticed anything different, just seems to sloooow things down occasionally!)..and the now aging IE11 i'm still using...which reminds me..I gotta get around to switching to Firefox soon. Anyway, apology accepted Lez..you can come off the naughty step now! :-)

Right..the little matter of the scores....

Two songs had garnered 22 points apiece...but a countback shows that one song got 3 max points to nil...so the winning track is Makes Your Nature Rise by Nuyorican Soul, which means this week's winner is our forum host Gordon. Congratulations Mr G! :)

First of the runner-ups then is - Plastic Hamburgers by Fantastic Negrito, nominated by Johnny, and finally..just missing out on his usual top spot, with 1 point fewer is, Children Of Misery by Noah House Of Dread, nominated by the Tech Sergeant.

Congrats to all the winners...and no wooden spoons this week! :)

Thanks to Johnny for saving me from a wooden spoon at the last minute. One of my favourite songs of all time as well.

I listen to the album from which it came, "Mother Nature's Kitchen" at least a few times a year. It was an album that showed me that British musicians could produce music that was as good as most of the American stuff that I like so much.
