GabbyLoggon · 23/11/2010 13:20

we bought it, it has some nice songs on it,some lean towards religion
The advertising dept pulls a clever stunt..

Calling it THE GIFT as a reference to Boyles Talent and the Christmas release.

That's what advertising departments do...

lorelilee · 23/11/2010 13:23

and your point is caller?

faverolles · 23/11/2010 13:40

In my case, if it was a gift, it would be returned.

I like Sir Cliff and his lovely songs about Jesus and wine and misletoe and dingly bells and all those nice things.

faverolles · 23/11/2010 14:41

Mean spirited? She's shit!

Sex pistols? I don't think so!

GabbyLoggon · 23/11/2010 14:52

write shirley, I mean right.

I liked Cliffs first big hit,,,,one or 2 others. But I do not see why anyone should be around that long.

If its lists we are doing, Paloma Faith,
Tom Jones (when young) Lily Allen, James Blounts "Carry you home." And many more...
But Beethoven really rocks.

YABU... they called it 'the gift' so that for the hapless last minute shopper with no clue what to buy it's on the front page of a Google search. Predict next year's offering will be called 'What To Get The Wife For Valentine's Day'

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 23/11/2010 14:56

well it does give a pretty big indication that it could contain religious stuff with a picture of the Christmas star on the front

Though Make me a channel of your peace is a rather odd one for Christmas Confused

GabbyLoggon · 23/11/2010 15:07

Look SusanBoyle has made capitalism work for her; after a very shaky start in life.

I dont think we can make all slow starters rich pop stars; but we could give them a helping hand.

Right Baroque, Bill Haley with one very good hit changed the rock scene; and inspired some cinema vandalism

Hail to the kiss curl...

I liked Wired For Sound by Sir Cliff.

He wore roller skates for the video (which at the time was unusual)

GabbyLoggon · 24/11/2010 14:31

yes, shirley, Cliff says Miss You Nights is his fav song.

I used to love watching him in his "curly lip" days..doing a sort of Elvis.

He sang "live" at Wimbledon tennis. He did it well, but it was rubbished...

I have sung "rock around the Clock" in London pubs many years ago....and went to southampton with a tabloid train when Bill Hayley arrived. One hit wonder, but what a hit.

OP posts:
ShirleyKnot · 24/11/2010 15:06

oh. I don't like Miss You Nights much. It's a bit...rubbish.

Did you sing in one London Pub (while drunk) or did you regularly sing in pubs as a club singer type act?

And is a tabloid train a train full of journalists?

Mowiol · 24/11/2010 15:41

Bill Hayley???? May I ask how old you are?

myheadisconfused · 24/11/2010 15:43

Wired for Sound was my favourite. Cliff in his roller boots and legwarmers. He was studley, and no mistake Wink

ShirleyKnot · 24/11/2010 15:45

are those trousers pleather?

pointydog · 24/11/2010 15:48

Good lord, gabby, how old are you, womamn?

ShirleyKnot · 24/11/2010 15:49

gabby is a man

As any fool should know.

Finn15 · 24/11/2010 15:56

Where do you stand on Daniel O'Donnell Gabby?

harleyd · 24/11/2010 16:01

Grin at 'the advertising dept pulls a clever stunt..'

ShirleyKnot · 24/11/2010 16:12

Finn15 - I hope he doesn't stand on Daniel anywhere

His body is sacred (to many women of a certain age the age being 76)

Suncottage · 24/11/2010 16:13

I wish I could links - there is on Youtube a clip of Cliff Richard dueting with Daniel O' Donnell.

I still feel quesy thinking about it [vom]

ShirleyKnot · 24/11/2010 16:15

Is anyone else touching themselves right n0w?

Suncottage · 24/11/2010 16:19

Shirleyknot

I have just projectile vomited over my screen.

It will take two people to clean up the mess and you are going to be one of them
