  1. Excellent, you had us working hard for that one until Alyson's lightbulb moment.
    I had no idea what the Notsensibles looked like until now either.

  2. Yes, thanks Rol - that was a toughie yesterday, although it really shouldn't have been in retrospect. There are obviously so many songs with girls names in them that ones with the same first letter don't immediately jump out at you. The Madonna snapshot should have helped but it really didn't!

    I may return with a joke (unless you really don't want me to).

  3. A man is lying on the operating table in theatre about to have brain surgery. He looks up at the surgeon and says, "While you're at it Doc, could you take out a Barry Manilow song that's been stuck in there for ages".
