Theme 392 - Song titles containing any word that appears on a traditional UK Monopoly board - Val - VOTING - closed Sunday September 10th

[Val]

I'm after any word that you can see printed on a classic UK Monopoly board. I'll print the full list below but there should be plenty of scope for everyone.

The next FIVE themes are:

Theme 393 - Studio songs with a spoken intro. - KJS
Theme 394 - "Profanity Insanity" - Songs replete with profane lyrics and or titles. - TheDuke
Theme 395 - ‘Going strong after 70 years and onward’. Any song old or new from any era - Jemma
Theme 396 - Descriptive food textures. Songs including (but not limited to) Crunchy, soft, creamy, tough, fluffy, crispy etc - Sera
Theme 397 - Flights of fancy: Any track with a title or lyrics referencing flying - FishyJim

Let's see some new ideas at:

Just a note that your nomination can include a single word - e.g. Bow - it doesn't have to be Bow Street.

Thanks Val, went to the Blue Pool in Wareham today. then on to Alum Chine beach and lunch at Harvester. Very nice day! :-)

[theDuke]

Many Happy Returns Nick! I haven't been inside a Harvester since i were a wee lad.....they just don't exist in my corner of the world. I recall, me and my bro getting these Chocolate Fudge Brownies for dessert....in these huge tall glasses. We never did manage to finish them! I wonder if they're still the same as they were back in ye olde worlde days of the 1980s?!

Thanks Duke. Funny you should mention the desert as my Son had an ice cream in a glass bowl with a cone stuck upside down on it. It looked nothing like the photo on the menu, just thrown together in a hurry. In their defence, they were really busy.

To me, that just sounds like somebody shoved an ice cream upside down in a glass!

Hi Duke, I had Covid last week. It wasn't as serious as the first 2 times I've had it, but it did leave me feeling tired, feeling sick especially in the morning for some reason, and I did lose my sense of smell and taste. This did work to my advantage as I had a trip to the tip whilst I had it. Anyway, hope you feel better soon!

Thank you Nick. I don't think it's COVID with me, as I've got the squits..bad! Wasn't anything i ate, i don't think....but initially this bug sapped me of all my energy, no appetite, hot and cold shivers and a really bad headache and sore throat. Headache is gone, me energy and appetite is slowly returning, but still suffering from the squits. I've been eating pro-biotic yogurt, and lots of fibre, hoping that'll sort it out soon.

That's twice I've had this very similar ailment this year....and both times when visiting the same town! The plot thickens!

[TheFoe]

Hi Duke, 'The plot thickens!' Sounds like it's the only thing that is!! ;-)

[Val]

That's another one done and thankfully a clear result.

1st: It's Duke with 18 points for Roxy Music
2nd: FishyJim with 14 points for Radiohead
3rd: Helen with 13 points for The Cure

Thanks to all our nominators and voters and congrats to the winners - and no wooden spoons!
