    Day 8 - A song that you know all the words to

    Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen Bohemian Rhapsody clearly isn’t the only song to which I know all the words. But setting aside Mahna Mahna by the Muppets and Ernie (the fastest milkman in the west) and We Are Brighton, Queen’s epic piece must be an all time favourite for any sing-along. And I have a...

    Day 7 - A song that reminds you of a certain event

    Harder Than You Think by Public Enemy. PARALYMPICS 2012. This summer the supposed poor relative, the Paralympics, all but matched the Olympics for drama and heroes. My personal favourites were the athletics particularly David Weir’s and Hannah Cockcroft’s achievements – and our personal...

    Day 6 - A song that reminds you of somewhere

    Sounds like it! But I'm happy to be corrected if there is a link to the actual one that was played?

    Shit away grounds that you like(ed) to visit.

    I'm going with Peterborough, Mansfield and Plymouth. Peterborough is always a great atmosphere, likewise and surprisingly Mansfield despite the worst toilets known to man and Plymouth happy memories of a promotion party there :-)

    Have you read Fever Pitch?

    Film and book just different to be honest. Film helped to explain my obsession to others, although it takes me back to a dark, dark time following the Albion.

    Day 6 - A song that reminds you of somewhere

    Good Old Sussex By The Sea is so inextricably linked to place. It plays from another era, distant and almost crackly, but it is the sound of the Goldstone Ground, RIP. Home until 1997. It is the sound that introduced hundreds if not thousands of matches there and just as the first few notes...

    Day 5 - A song that reminds you of someone

    New Morning by Bob Dylan It’s so tempting when asked for a song that reminds you of someone to just write God Save the Queen. But my choice is New Morning by Bob Dylan which reminds me of my auntie Eva in her flat in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland. I’d reached the age where anything that the adults...

    Day 4 - A song that makes you sad

    Over the Rainbow by Eva Cassidy Whenever I hear Eva Cassidy sing it makes me sad. It’s not her fault. There is a pure and wistful tone to her voice which combined with the tragedy of her story pulls at the heart strings. I think more than any other song this is the one that lends itself to...

    Day 3 - A song that makes you happy

    Some great songs to remember - Madness, Fountains of Wayne! But my second choice for songs that makes me happy now has got to The Cure's Friday I'm in Love...manic but happy, rare in a Cure song :-)

    Day 3 - A song that makes you happy

    Katrina and the Waves - Walking on Sunshine A long time ago I went travelling around Europe...and that summer there was a song that belted out from the radios of Europe which seemed so appropriate. This song reminds me of that wonderful time travelling and of a happy reunion. I still have the...

    Doing "stuff" on your own

    What colours? I find my snails struggle with the Cha cha cha - too much grip.

    Doing "stuff" on your own

    Agree with everyone else here - going to events or travelling alone can almost be more sociable, as more likely to get drawn in to conversations. Did Watford away on my own a few weeks back and had a great evening...

    Day 2 - Your least favourite song

    That Titanic one by Celine Dion. They say a great song can make a movie. It can also sink it without trace. I’ll be honest, there’s nothing wrong with the epic Titanic movie. Well, nothing that a heavy session on the cutting room floor couldn’t rectify including the removal of the...

    Day 1: Your Favourite Song

    Firstly an apology if this has already been done, I can't find out as the search doesn't appear to be be working! If you’ve not come across it, the 30 day song challenge sets out to answer over 30 days (hence the name, I guess) a series of questions about your taste in music, where it hits the...
