I had the same problem. It took me a long time to figure out what is going on. Then it hit me that perhaps Michele and Murph are automatically changing the word t-i-t-l-e to none. "T-i-t-l-e" contains a "bad word" within it and this might be attracting those awful people to post those disgusting weblinks and other trash.

Back to more positive things:


I love your submission of Moving On Up by M People. I would never have thought of "moving" in terms of transport! And what a great song with fantastic vocals by Heather Small. Well done!

So this makes me think of the opening song from Dreamgirls:

Move

Has the film opened in the UK yet? I plan to see it this weekend.

I do not think that "Dreamgirls" is out over here yet-I have heard a lot of good things about it, and have even pre-ordered the cd. But do not yet know when it will arrive.

HMV's website says that the soundtrack to Dreamgirls comes out on the 29th of January. So you should receive your copy a month later. :wink:

I have the Broadway soundtrack of Dreamgirls on vinyl LP, but I want to get it on CD; I believe they have recently re-issued it in the US. I'm not interested in owning the movie cast soundtrack sing these songs, but I will watch the movie. No one can sing And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going like Jennifer Holliday. That song belongs to her and not to the film's Jennifer Hudson from American Idol season 3.

Back to transport, here's a nice brand-new song that Radio 2 is playing often:

Freewheel by Duke Special (from Belfast)

You're correct about the T i t l e s letters Paul, it just dawned on me when I tried to put C o c k t a i l s for Two on the beverages page!

Just realised I put Too Many Rivers in the wrong section. Surprised nobody picked me up on this. :oops:

Sorry about that, Robert, glad you are keeping an eye out. I am just desperate to reach 900, that's all. :wink: :roll:
