Now that you have all the singles and replicate boxes. For your next Birthday I presume now you are going to get your wife to make you a Chocolate cake in the shape of Cecils records boxes with After 8 singles too

Mmmmmm, chocolate cake - that cake looked great!!

Does anyone remember the slowie "Sometimes when we touch" by Dan Hill, that was one of my favourite slowies and every week that it was played god love any male that was standing in my vicinity becuase he was dragged onto that dancefloor kicking and screaming just so i could sing (murder) that song. God I really had no shame back then, that song or a male smelling of lynx oriental and i was hooked. Actually i dont think my standards have improved much since. However its now the smell of Davidoff Cool Water that gets me going I have gotten over the Lynx thing.

You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides...

Or something to that effect! That's one of my favourites too from back in the day. That and Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper, not so much because of the songs themselves, but more for the mammaries, I mean, memories that go with it. I remember my sister had bought the sheet music for Sometimes When We Touch around that time, so I was getting it from all angles, there was no escaping Mr. Hill...

I'm not even supposed to be here today!

you're right Crusty, poor old Fab Vinny.

They also played nonstop -

Michael Jackson / Beat It

ZZ Top / Legs

Alphaville / Big in Japan

Remember it used to be a great line, "you want to meet up tomorrow to watch MT-USA together?"

I could have played for Ireland (if it wasn't for the booze and the birds)

I have a hazy recollection Cecil playing his version of A Little Help from my Friends

Do you mean Joe Cockers cover?

Best cover ever a classic that stands the test of time

A man must have a code

Definitely wouldn't have been the Wet Wet Wet version! I just saw the on tv this morning talking about a comeback. In my opinion some bands should STAY gone!

"Gentlemen! You can't fight in here, this is the War Room!"

I can remember cecil playing "close to the edge "(Yes) for me on my 16th birthday I can still see him smiling down at me with his thumb in the air. It is still one of my favourites even after all these years (I'm 107 next april)
