Re: Name that tune

Yes, it would :)

Because this is called 'name the tune' and not 'name the band' I think plummy should have it. Sorry, Bill :wink:

Re: Name that tune

Hehe, more clues :) The band is named after a horror film. The story goes that the song was written as a filler for their second album, but after recognising the hit potential from this otherwise noncommercial band, they changed the album name to make this the title song. The band is very much assoc...

Re: October 2013 - celebrating the life of Gaye McOnie

Graham, wouldn't it be good if as many members as possible logged their time on the CTC website, not just the metreboard, on that same day? We should be able to float a lot of boats this way in remembrance of Gaye. Of course, the SUB7 team got a lot of criticism when they flooded the website with th...

Re: Name that tune

Biggest or perhaps even their only hit single, released a year before I was born.
This band made a comeback album this year, including their 'larger than life' lead singer who cooperates with the other band members on a studio album for the first time in 25 years.

Re: Name that tune

The Doors (of perception). Ray Manzarek passed away recently.
The name of the song still escapes me. Is putting the records on considered cheating?

Edit: When the music's over :)

Re: Weight loss training program

How was the BMI measuring done? The programme acknowledged (very briefly) that BMI is a suboptimal measure, but that it is still used by doctors because it's such a simple calculation. When I had a first appointment with my GP's assistant a couple of weeks ago, almost the first thing she did was ca...

Re: Weight loss training program

I'm following that series too (the men who made us thin). Yesterday's episode was about how they lowered the boundary for healthy BMI from 27 to 25 (based on inferior research and paid for by drug companies), basically making the target group for all kind of products and services, including surgical...

Re: 2013 Weight Loss Thread

Thanks strider (Alan?). :) It's early days of course but I changed some eating and drinking habits, so I'm hoping the first couple of weeks should be relatively easy. My end goal of losing 12.5kg in 25 weeks might be a bit too ambitious though. Fortunately, there are no pubs close to my work where I...

Re: Aug CTC 8x500 2r

Hi John, Seems perfectly reasonable to me. In fact, the team that chose this CTC gave some examples themselves of how to approach this challenge with lots of penalty points, so everyone could do this one. Take as many penalty seconds as you like :) Having said that, it doesn't fit in my current prog...
