5. The 'Pac-Man flag' on the mountains in Cyprus. - No explaination necessary.


I hate lists, but I would agree with the all the items on yours!

Except for Van Morrison ... I adore his music. Do you count him as Jazz of the tuneless noise variety?



I went to see Van Morrison a few years back with my sister - he was brilliant! :) (Smaller than I expected though :roll: )

I'm not really a fan apart from 'Brown Eyed Girl', but he's not what I call Jazz. I mean the ones that involve those mad clarinet and saxophone solos. they all have names like 'mad old Wilf' and 'Alfie brown pants'. Speaking of saxophone, i'll add Kenny G to that list. :lol:

Old men's warbling whistle

Girls who girly scream at anything

American girly talk "whateverrrrrr". "it was, like....", "awesoommme", "oh my god" etc.

People smoking in restaurants when you are eating

Macdonalds burgers

Paris Hilton

Bad manners

Poor service

Of course there's lots of things I do like!

You're probably too young to have heard of Fuesto Papetti (spelling?) ... but his solo sax of "Strangers in the Night" made me smooch when I should normally have resisted :lol: and got on with revision! .... He was melting! 8)

I don't know him but know the song. Saxophone is definitely not my thing and Bubbles has just mentioned Roxy Music so I'm getting out of here!

I'll go and take cover in that nice Cyprus Problem section :lol:

I followed him around Waterstones one time .... he was very patient, must have guessed, and I know he hates fans following him.

But he was about my height, and he was was going through his "round" phase ... but he used to be quite good looking.

Never mind .... his voice and lyrics make up for all the shortfalls 8)
