Easy question-- not-- so I am going tpo cheat at least on no 1 cause it is impossible.

1 Favourte Single non Roxy:

Come up and see me---- Steve harley and Cockney Rebel
Dancing in the Dark------- Springsteen
First time ever I saw your mush--- Roberta Flack
The Joxer goes to Stuttgart---- Christy Moore
The River---- Springsteen
Son of a preacher man------ Dusty

I could go on forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. Best Single --- Roxy--- Virginia Plain and qualifies for 1 above.

3. Best Single -- Bryan--- Slave to Love

4. Best Single-- associated--- Baby's on fire-- Eno ( thought about Chris Spedding and Motorbiking though )

5. Best in last 12 Months--- Mercy-- Duffy

I hate your fecking questions as it takes me ages to get the answers out and remember the questions-- and i keep hitting the wrong keys in the dark and wiping the answer so have to start again. Before you ask why i am in the dark-- it is because the window is open and if you put the light on the midgies get in and bite yer arse, And if you don't know what a midgie is then you are a lucky bugger and give thanks be to God that you live in some other godforsaken part of the world where there are only rattlesnakes, scorpions, spiders and other things that are not nearly as much of a nuisance as the midge!!!!

lots of Love

Victor

Hey Sue, I'd forgotten all about that Seaven Deadly Finns single (I have it somewhere too), was the b'side I'll Come Running To Tie Your Shoes? I think it was. I'd also like a copy of this if anyone has one! GREAT CHOICE.
