Strangely enough he ended up having a baby with his wife a couple of years later so our offspring are now roughly the same age!Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671033552961486737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633543688149775322.post-15244256075021796352017-05-08T13:13:49.120+01:002017-05-08T13:13:49.120+01:00Absolutely intrigued now by what I've been mis...Absolutely intrigued now by what I've been missing with this Guardians of the Galaxy stuff; the whole thing passed me by until reading yours, Alyson's and Chris's posts. <br /><br />Is anyone called Brandy in real life?!

I've seen other big budget movies try to copy this but fail miserably or make the song's inclusion seem crass (as in the most recent Star Trek movie). It's difficult to get right, but they get it SO right.Rolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02103804480646939038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633543688149775322.post-3190902909501066622017-05-07T22:57:41.569+01:002017-05-07T22:57:41.569+01:00Glad you enjoyed it - We went to see it last weeke...Glad you enjoyed it - We went to see it last weekend and enjoyed it just as much as the first one, if not more so actually which is unusual for a sequel. The stand out song for me was Brandy... and have listened to it lots over the last week. Will let that post go now as I couldn't possibly put into words how I felt about it all as well as you have here. <br /><br />Interestingly, little Ronan Keating was in the charts with that cover of Father and Son just after I'd had DD - I may have been a mother and she was a daughter (and I had a touch of the baby blues) but every time it came on the radio I was in pieces - Totally get where you're coming from with that one. <br /><br />What with Car Share and now this, we all need this coming week to be a bit less emotional!Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671033552961486737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633543688149775322.post-20770259631530166312017-05-07T22:37:57.938+01:002017-05-07T22:37:57.938+01:00Glad you can endorse the film.

There's a lot to like on the soundtrack!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.com
