An astonishing fact what I've just learnt.

I wasn't lurking last night either. I was pissed in the pub.

Some younger Nutters might not understand my last post. (or perhaps any of my posts). So here's a little help.

Some things just never get old.

"Astonishing fact what I've just learnt"???

KP mentioned Red Red Wine and I do have knowledge of that but other UB40 hits, you would have to play them to me and I would know some of them, just not the titles.

Well done, mate.

Any more?

Of the other forty four hits what they've had?........

As an aside, I've just Googled what was Number One the day I was born and apparently it was Lee Marvin with Wand'rin' Star".

The Wanderers thing's in there but it was all a bit shit.

Very apt.

I love Lee Marvin's Wand'rin' Star! Lyrical genius.

Which bit caused the bemusement: The syntax or the fact that such an obviously shite band could have had 50 hits?

been away so i missed this, but i fucking detest UB40, they started out well with 1 in 10 then just ripped off old reggae tunes and made millions (which they all thankfully lost the stupid Brummie twats)

I had loads of mates when i was younger who thought they were amazing and was forced to listen to them loads of times which is probably why i hate them so much now.

I was gutted when Shakin Stevens went mainstream.

I saw him and his band (the Sunsets) at a gig in Scotland in the mid-70s and they were pure rockabilly sound with the full crepes and drapes and dancing on the piano a la Jerry Lee. They rocked.

And then they sold out and started singing ballads which TBF made them rich.

My Dad loved Shaky.
He detested a band called Chicory Tip with an equal passion. Never found out why,although they were pretty shite.
