Hiya jaytee ! Yes, all correct...but what's with the rolleyes and Holly Valance eh? I won't hear a word said against her. Well, not so long as she keeps appearing in UK magazines wearing not very much ;).

Can only wring one more out of my brain at the mo', maddog...

#19. Love Letters - (take your pick from Dick Haymes, Elvis Presley, Alison Moyet) but my favourite is by Ketty Lester...

Why? Because her version was recorded in a makeshift recording studio - so makeshift that her vocals were performed in the toilet! (Honest!)

(Hope she flushed afterwards...!)
