Theme 326 - Pun Me. Nom a punned song title or band (or even lyric if you have a punny one) and link to the original song. Eg Oreo Speedwagon, Sweet Cat Of Mine, Chive Talking. (Inspired by this pinterest.co.uk link: tomdeus/really-bad-puns-and-song-uses/) Doesn't need to be from that link, if you have your own. - Sera69

Why does OP start with details about theme 326?

Any'ow, 'ave some o' 'ull's finest who I encountered a couple of months ago as last minute replacement supports on the Manics tour (the last new band who I saw as Manics supports were Wolf Alice - they sure can pick 'em) and who I'll be seeing again at the somewhat scuzzy Adelphi in 'ull on yer actual Xmas Eve.

"Why does OP start with details about theme 326?"

The themes nomination round always has the upcoming themes in the OP, (to remind the posters what's coming up and therefore give us a chance to choose something for it).

Brass Neck wrote: "Why does OP start with details about theme 326?..."

As TheFoe says, it always has been that way. The current theme is in the title and the body of the OP starts with the next cab off the rank. Is there some other order you would prefer?

[Brass Neck]

No, question answered thanks.

If this party consisted of people who work alongside each other every day, is it too bad? Certainly not compared to, eg, the SNP MP who, whilst waiting for the results of a covid test, travelled all the way from Scotland to London by train, went to the Palace of Westminster, learnt her test had been positive and travelled all the way back to Scotland by train.

In a world where there are threats to Ukraine from Russia massing troops on the border, continual threats to invade Taiwan by China, etc, it doesn't say much for the official opposition (and much of the broadcast media) that they get more steamed up about a works party a year ago and Boris' curtains.

[Brass Neck]

"Boris' curtains" - he just needs a bit of product and a good combing.

[Brass Neck]

"Boris' curtains" - yes, very probably but Labour need him to plough lamely on mired in sleaze, double standards and u-turning like a desperate London cabbie.

[Val]

Apologies for being late to the party. I hope no one stayed up desperate to cast their vote!

NINE nominations means THREE VOTES.

Heya folks, just bobbing in really quickly, as there's a lot going on at the moment. I've posted a big message on my group, so if you want to know what's going on with me, head over to the Beyond Zon Group, and you read for yourselves - (i cannot C&P the message on here with this crap tablet i've got atm, as my PC died a few weeks ago and i'm not getting another one for the time being.)

I'm ill folks..with a big problem, but i'm still waiting to get properly seen to and find out exactly what the issue is, but it isn't good news unfortunately. Couldn't have come at a worse time with bloody omicron variant threatening to overwhelm the NHS...but Cest la vie as they say. But needless to say..i'm ill folks and prognosis is somewhat uncertain atm. I've got a long way to go and it's all depends how quickly i can get seen and hopefully treated.

Anyway..i won't be around for some time until i know what the situation is, and what my chances are, so i just wanted to wish everyone happy christmas (yeah i know..how i can say that after what i've just admitted?!) and hopefully much brighter and, in my case, a very healthy new year to you all.

Finally, i had a nom for this round, but i'm unable to post a link, this tablet is rubbish!

But if some kind soul could add Go 'head by Rocstrong (i think that's the artist's name) and find the link on YT for it please, much obliged. I can't vote...but i just wanted to join in on this one.

Take care folks..have a good one and hopefully i'll be able come back on here sometime next year.

Duncan. xxxxx

I've left a comment on the Beyond Zon page Duke but I'm sure you know we're all on your side and hoping for good news sooner rather than later.

Here's your nom and I've added it to the playlist too.

Cheers Val, and thanks for the good wishes. I'm more cursing the timing off this more than anything....just my luck eh. Oh well...no point in crying over spilt milk.....i've got christmas, and for once, in what is avery rare occurance of my family..everyone is off for the day, so i will enjoy a full family gathering, which will be nice. So we'll be making the very most of the festivities, then the hard work will begin next year, come what may.

I hope everybody likes my choice, you might recognise it from a TV car ad that was shown earlier this year. I rather like it...but the guy hasn't done much, and you can't buy it on any format alas, just listen only.

Right, the battery is low and the tablet is beeping at me....time to close this down, and recharge.

See ya around folks, have a lovely one.

Oh BTW...Val......i don't know how likely i'll be able to join it with next season AFL, as much as i would like to, but if you're still going to do proxy tipping on behalf of the late dear Lez....could do the same for me too..and i'll try and join in when i can, if i can.

Cheers. xxxxx

[Val]

I'll be happy to do your footy tipping for you next year Duke! Go Giants!

[TheFoe]

Good to see you on here Duke, and I hope whatever is wrong with you get's resolved quickly in the new year. I don't know where the Beyond Zon Group is though.

Ditto what Tech & Jim said, Duke. Just to give you a little bit of optimism - my Dad had the same in 2001 (he was 53) with an operation followed by intensive chemo. He is still with us and cancer free 20 years later and treatment is a lot better these days. Hope you get sorted soon.

All done. Six voters for the nine nominations and a clear decision.

Bob (and Tim) take out the gold with the seasonal offering of Must Be Santa - 7 votes. The Foe's offering of The Goon Sax won silver with 6 votes and Tech grabbed 5 votes for Lee "Scratch" Perry and assorted others. And no wooden spoons. Congrats all!
