Bloody hell. Put some HTML conversion into your scripts boy!
MartynDecember 23rd, 2005 at 1:52 am
HTML conversion? Scripts?! Whatever happened to good ol DIY? (It’s on the to-do list - just very low down…)

Oh, and I thought Richard Marx sang Right Here Waiting? God I’m a sad bastard…

My friend once phoned up the Student Loans Company… they had Kelis “I hate you so much right now” playing
sasDecember 23rd, 2005 at 5:39 pm
Yeah, I think he did. In our inebriated state I made the mistake of listening to Mark. Actually, googling it, they both did.
MartynDecember 23rd, 2005 at 6:52 pm
Haha, Kelis is brilliant! In a similar vein, Killing in the name of by RATM would be very amusing.
SimonDecember 24th, 2005 at 10:13 am
Or ‘Killing Me Softly With (t)His Song’ by whoever’s cover version you least like!
