I love chillin’ out to the Detroit Spinners (originally the ‘Detroit’ or ‘Motown’ tag was inserted to differentiate them in the UK from the Spinners) but this is my favourite..
Detroit Spinners – Could It Be I’m Falling In Love

With this one a close second..
Detroit Spinners – it’s a shame

For all the letters of the alphabet and all the gatherings of words in the greatest of dictionaries and thesaurus; for every configuration and assembly of all those letters and all those words, I have nevertheless run out of superlatives to describe your poetry, Sgt.
By Christ, you are undoubtedly a genius, though.

Hmm..Pete promised me a pull at his pudding when it rose..well it looks enormous to me and I haven’t had so much as a lick at his sauce.

If they ever start making Carry On films again you’ll be made. :lol:

Well here’s a thought..if Pete were to give me a good stuffing with his pudding..I would fill out as a Hattie Jaques lookalikey before you could say ‘oooooooooh Matrrrrrrrron!’ :P

Bloke came yesterday to finish off round the plugs after being rewired and caught me stripping off in the spare bedroom.

I hope you don’t mind me editing it for you.
I’m in a “Carry On” kind of mood.

THE SONS OF GLENCOE

Ye loyal MacDonalds awaken, awaken,
Why sleep ye sae soundly in face of the foe?
The clouds pass away and the dawn it is breaking,
But when shall awaken the sons of Glencoe?

Ye lay down to rest with your thoughts on the morrow,
Nor dreamt that lives visions were melting like snow,
But daylight has dawned on the silence of sorrow,
And ne’er shall awaken the sons of Glencoe.

The winds howl a warning, the red lightning flashes,
They heap on the faggots a welcome to show,
But traitors are brooding on death o’er the ashes,
Now cold are the hearths of the sons of Glencoe.

O dark was the omen that brought to our sheiling,
The Black-hearted Campbell wi’ treacherous smile,
We gave them our food with a brother’s own feeling,
For when we believed there was truth in Argyle.

My clansmen strike boldly, let none of you count
On the mercy of cowards who wrought us such woe.
The wail of their spirits when heard on the mountain,
Must surely awaken the sons of Glencoe.

O cruel as adders, ye struck us while sleeping,
But vengeance shall haunt ye wherever ye go.
Our loved ones lie murdered, no sorrow nor weeping
Can ever awaken the sons of Glencoe.

(ANON)

Note – The Sons of Glen Coe survived despite the machinations of English politicians and their Scottish tools and appeared in arms for Scotland in 1715, 1719, and in the Forty-five. Today their descendants still work for a free and independent Scotland.
