Nothing has been proved. Recorded by Dusty Springfield, written by the Pet Shop Boys. They also included it in their set on their first live tour - I saw them perform it in Birmingham at the NEC in July 1989. Stephen is Stephen Ward, a figure in the Profumo Affair and the link is the song was in the soundtrack to rhe film Scandal about said tawdry episode in British politics.

I love that song.

😂😂😂 her racing name was Mustang Kaya, so that might give you a clue as to what I sing to her, especially when she gets in the car 🚗 xxx

That would be great thanks! Although I'm going to have to keep working for quite a few years yet unless I come into a pot of money! 🤣.

Is Sally a greyhound? There is a couple in my area who adopt retired greyhounds, they are very friendly and affectionate dogs x

Rogue1001MNer · 06/02/2023 20:02

What a gorgeous looking girl, Carnage. How lovely.

Sorry about your FIL, but great about your retirement.

Lovely to have you back on here. You can use your time fruitfully and give us lots of lyrics to guess (in between dog walks, of course!)

Yes, Sally is a greyhound 😊, a breed I’ve had my eye on for a while because of their temperament.
We adopted her from a local animal sanctuary who has recently started taking in ex racing greyhounds.
I’ve wanted a dog for years, and had been up to the sanctuary a few times to donate blankets etc (just so I could look at the dogs really ). I think they were getting fed up of me loitering round the kennels 😬 xx

Thank you @Roguey, she is gorgeous 🥰

Thank you, my FIL and I spent many a time talking about music and I miss those chats.
Good thinking about lyrics, but they might be all dog related 😂😂
