Hey girls and boys... just wanted to drop in with a couple of pieces of weird stuff! First off, did I ever say on the list that me and my wife met on a chat programme on the computer and that I was initially attracted to talk to her cos of her nick... ourhouse7 ??? Believe you me that she had NO IDEA at all of it being a reference to our lads, even though (like most Americans) she DID know that there was a 'funny lookig' Brit band called Madness who had a song called that. Anyway you can imagine the chill I got when I found out she was born in... Camden, South Carolina!! Hmmm this was way too weird, seeing as in Maryville (where we now live), there's a record/video store called Hastings (Suggs' place of birth)! Speaking of Suggs... you all know by now how I'm always on about radio stations hardly playing any Madness AT ALL... sure, the odd 'Our House' here and there but that's about it, you know? Anyways, we were Christmas shopping a couple of weeks ago at this clothing store (dunno the name, so don't ask please) and what should come across the speakers in some Christmas compilation of odd American songs? Yep... Suggs' version of 'Sleigh Ride'! Isn't that something, huh? No Madness, but Suggs comes up hahaha Oh and one final thing about the Top 10 (and this is really just for The Legendary One's eyes to be honest)... while I commend and applaud him for his effort (and won't go into the 'told you so' department in reminding him of his questioning whether it would be worthwhile or not to compile a new chart - imho, a chart of ANY kind is ALWAYS worth the time AND it does bring fans to share opinions and all that!), I would like The Langmead (if possible) to either re-send to the list the last chart he had compiled so that we can compare THIS choice with that one. Either that, or at least show us where each song was at in the last chart. Anyways, all the best to one and all, especially my best friends on the list (Jenny, Simester, The Doc, The Langmead, The Jury, The Wozzster (whatever happened to HIM?), Emma, Mike G et al), and may we have another great mad year together ~ Tennessee Paul _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ - ______________________________________________________________ Visit the Total Madness Mailing List website for: latest news, madmeet info, list charter, games, and more ... http://members.xoom.com/totalmadmail/ Contact the TMML Moderators at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and in the message body put: unsubscribe total-madness
