It’s really the vibe we were looking for fluffybiscuits.

My own father is dead but I’d like to have the voucher given to my Father-In-Law who’s name is coincidentally also Joe, and even weirder still he used to be a bin-man. He quit when it all went privatised but he’s fond of a bit of Jazz.
So yeah.
*It’s NOT the vibe…

‘For Fathering Sunday please give the Golden Discs voucher to badatmemes and play him ‘Hit The North’ by The Fall, while you’re at it.’ He’s a great dad.
I’m flattered, but did you not see the line;
‘All we ask from you is a song we can share at 1pm.‘?
‘Mr. Pharmacist’ by The Fall would be funnier.
Did you not see it’s 1.pm 2mo, they thought today was Friday :-P
I was thinking that maybe, just maybe GD thought it might be a good idea to give people a bit more time to reflect, and maybe, just maybe increase the standard of entry in doing so and make this a better competition.
I could be wrong.
I could be right.
They could be right too.
Lay me down by The Frames because of the line in the second chorus where he sings “And lay me down In the hollowed ground Where my father waits I will stay So lay me down”. It always makes me think of me Da

What gives?
This is becoming increasingly difficult to track: The title has changed from “You’re Still Young, That’s Your Fault.”, to “Old Man Look At My Life.” to “Dad Rocks.”. This causes dead email links and “This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?” notifications. Closing date was an unlevelled playing field.
Paternity suit to follow. My father has issues.
isallimsaying and Catherine, I’m very sorry. I dropped the ball on this since last Thursday. I will rectify everything and have the winner announced at midday tomorrow. No excuses.
@Bodger
Are you announcing the winner?
any day now…
dum dum d’dum…(whistles patiently)
Whoever runs these ‘competitions’ are masters in bottomholery and clownology …… What gives indeed.
