"Abraxas" - amazing album! The music is faultless, and there is not one bad song on the album. It has aged so well! Who could believe that "Abraxas" is now 42 years old, yet still sounding as original, fresh, innovative, exciting and influential as ever?

@Dominoatheart Agree, Samba Pa Ti is brilliant, my favourite instrumental of all time and Santana's finest work

@Natalya5241 and @baddmistake11 I am very sorry that you think I'm a ginger with no soul. I dislike this song, as I find it boring, repetitive and depressing. However, on the whole I do really like Santana's music - just not this song. What makes things interesting for me as a Santana fan is that...

@essexbred1986 He rushed it, a pity as I think that had Ben surviced that game the team may have done better - he won them their first crystal in the previous zone but then got locked in next zone, and it all fell apart from there

@rosebegum I felt sorry for David, they may as well have brought him out as they were never going to win the prize after they did so badly, the poor gut had the rotten luck of being lumbered with a very diffcilt autmoatic lock-in in the first zone and we never saw him again - maybe he was the bes...

@TheMrmoonlight I wonder if David would have helpped win more crystals if he hadn'tbeen so uunlucky as to get that stinker of an autmoatci lock-in so early on? Also why were this team so reluctant to help and get involved? Only Martin makes any attempt to shout out and help when the other players...

@spongebobpaul That's because it used to be an "open" automatic crossing (i.e., one with lights and alarms only), the barriers weren't added until 2006. Also the reason why the alarm is so loud, as on open crossings the alarms are absolutely thunderous. This is a much safer level crossing than t...

@amyp791 Yet JLS have been more successful in terms of chart positions and record sales since then! It doesn't figure, does it?

@TheSupershooter Actually although Leona garnered more than 40% of the series vote, Ray could have won, he came top in the previous week, and they revealed shotrly afterwards that in terms of the final night voting figures there was very little in it, about 2% in Leona's favour. So it wasn't quit...

She didn't have a bad voice, but some of her song choices were bad, so that's why she left the competition so early

My god, what a dire version of this song - some songs should never be covered. Her voice isn't bad at all, but she is flat and out of tune on this one!

@abhouston1 I think it may have been because of the vocal enhancement scandal in her audition? Or as she was in the UK illegally and there was a danger that she'd be unavailable for the live shows anyway? It was a bad call though, as she should've gone through. Cheryl is not a racist though - he...

@4SAY4 Sue was not necessarily the better of the two. BGT proved a short-lived experience for both, with Sue doing better, but a look at the bigger picture tells a different story. Later that year, Sue she failed to get into the Royal College of Music in London (her application was rejected as sh...

Remember seeing this on the telly when I was in my teens, it was an updated version of the "Play Safe" PIF with Jimmy and Amy from the 70s. As I recall it was a bridge from a longer film where the three boys were on their way to school, but decided not to break in, then later in the day Darren an...

@rojblake82 I'll bet she was traumatised! Poor Amy! I agree with you though, that Amy was not really to blame, think it was just the classic "the little sister thinks her big brother can sort it" syndrome but Jimmy could have just said "No". My little sister used to think I could sort anything ou...

This epsiode scared me green when I was little, but it was one the best of the series

God these were eerie, but funny! lol

What year was this from?

@bigchris160 Kissyfur was my auntie's nickname for me as well when I was little, I knew of the cartoon but hated it, she did it to make me bashful!

@antster1983 Barry was too slow the first time but he learned from it and got it right on his second attempt. In the first episode of the series Vaughan Lewis got the speed right but dripped water on the candle from his shirt, he then got it right second time

Really bad luck for Paul there!

@Footbalcrazychocomad Only David Cunnington (in this ep) and Dave Macleman in an earlier ep managed to do the shapes game

@rosebegum Paul was a good contestant, he was very unlucky on the planks game

Lorraine really struggled with those planks didn't she? Gordon should have played that one himself, he was stronger and more agile than her

After Catherine Duckett completed the helicopter game in an earlier epiosde, they decided the game was too easy so they made the controls more sensitive in later episodes, so wasn't entirely Stan's fault here

Good effort by Clive on the targets game. His aim was good, but he rushed it

@FridaLaReina The helicopter game was deemed to be too easy after Catherine completed it, so they made the controls more sensitive in later episodes, which is why the other three contestants who played that game struggled with it more. Similarly, there was another game in this series (the futuris...

Why was my comment removed? I didn't say anything offensive to anyone! Sheesh...

@rosebegum I thought Julians' was a harsh lock-in, watching it back here he clearly had one second left when he knocked the door, so Ed should have let him out

Yeah, but the point he was trying to make was not all the girls had won all their games, and Steve and Martin also played one game less than the rest of the members overall. Alun later went on to win two crystals

@rosebegum Clive Alison and Chris did OK! If Chris had been captaain from start perhaps they'dve done better

@rosebegum They won all of their games after the vice captain took over!

Wow, that was a great game by David Ayling, that was a very tough game!

@falks941 Saying that this team deserved more is not fair on either team, particularly Ben's. I think Ben's team were one of the best they ever had

What did he think the red lights were flashing for?! FUN?!?!? And the alarms on open crossings in the UK are thunderously loud! Deaf, dumb and blind

It would only be possible to get into reverse that quickly if the car was an automatic

The trains only tend to pass by quickly at crossings with no barriers, things happen a lot slower at crossings with barriers

But at the end of the day, crush or no crush, Princess could SING!!!

She is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This song wasn't that bad, and the main chorus line inspired Livin' Joy's 1995 #1 Dreamer, but TBH I couldn't care less what "real" dance and bubblegum pop are in your books, i were only 16 when this came out, had no interest in clubs or dance music then, and not now either. I miss the early 90s!

So many memories come back from 1996, I had just turned 21 when this song came out, i married not very long before, I'd just graduated from university and got my first job, and my daughter was born that august. Britpop was ruling the UK charts, it was a long hot summer, and this song was being pl...
