Alistair, the raging pedant in me would like to point out that "the hoi polloi" is tautologous. It's just "hoi polloi". I'd like to point it out - but I suspect I can't spell it.....!! Naturally, I'm accepted everywhere, as not only do I possess innate natural charm and modesty, but I can and do piss people off with quite stunning speed. Can't think why....... ! BG

So basically..i have to criticise someone and piss them off and then I can get accepted by the Hoi Poloi ?

( muttering ) I'll get at catspaw, if I piss him off it'll be a real coup. Steve Parkes is too easy, I've already done him. Hehehehe I know, I'll have a go at Alison.

AlaisdairUK, According to Banjer and me, you're not a real Mudcatter until you feel compelled to lecture thread creators on how they name their threads. The problem with an overly-general thread name like this is that various people will see the title and add requests for words to unrelated songs. The thread then becomes a hodge-podge of song requests and responses, with for example someone answering a query three songs back. So please make tiltes more specific (real Mudcatters act like we run the place!)

I know I've been away for the last couple of weeks, but I thought the general concensus was that we weren't going to do things like the above to new people anymore? That's twice I've seen someone have their metaphorical wrist slapped in the past couple of days. Please tell me things haven't changed in the Mudcat? Perturbed, Mo

ooo ooo can I ? Can I? Yes, I can.

Paul Up in the top right hand corner there's a box type [School Day's Over] or Ewan MacColl and you'll probably get it.

Ahhh. :o) Now I feel like a real MudCatter!
