OK, now you have loads of time at work to mess about...
Have you ever done this? http://www.thisdayinmusic.com
It shows you what song was at No.1 on the day you were born.
(Go to 'Birthday No.1' at the top of the site).
My number 1's are:
'You're So Vain' by Carly Simon in the US
'Long Haired Lover From Liverpool' by Little Jimmy Osmond in the UK
'Ben' by Michael Jackson in Australia
Some are better than others!

When I was a kid I thought if I got as far as the 21st Century, I'd be living in a space ship, like Buck Rogers... now I'm in a house on the north west coast of Ireland, I can't help but feeling a little bit hard-done-by!

Donegal is possibly the most depressing county in Ireland - it's politically part of the republic, but looks, feels & smells like Nordieland. Though it does have Bundoran... "the seaside town that they forgot to bomb"... and Killybegs - the home of frozen battered cod! |

Each year a gathering of us meet during summer solstice as the sun dips in an attempt to push Bundoran into Leitrim...we are getting closer, maybe next year! PQ |

It's no more than Leitrim deserves!!! As for "west brits".. I agree with you there - the south is more british than it cares to admit, more american than it realises, and less european than it pretends to be, but that's modern Ireland I suppose. |
