Was Ocean in the Manchester area? Or are there two?

I don't mind Gypsy - I wouldn't use it but it doesn't make me want to run away screaming. I knew a Chardonnay too - wonder if it's the same one.....

We've got a Ulysses at our nursery, so I guess I shouldn't be that surprised.
Jamiroquai though...

LyraSilvertongue · 17/02/2008 21:50

Perkinwarbeck, tell me you're joking about Jamiroquai.

it's so cheesy, poor children, especially Duran, they are all asprising ice dancers from a rich part of town.
