22/9/99 17:16

22/9/99 17:15

22/9/99 16:01

Our constant was "Bright eyes" which is an effin brill tune. Here's the lyrics and storyline of the video:

Turn around
[Jessie, her hand on Jonnys shoulder.]
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
[Jessie, all alone in her room, wishing that he were near her.]
And you're never coming round
Turn around
[Jonny whips his head around for an upclose shot]
Every now and then I get a little bit tired
[Jessie stretched out on her bed]
Of listning to the sound of my tears
[Tears coursing down her cheeks as she talks tohim on the phone]
Turn around
[Jessie pulling Jonny back to her]
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous
[Jessie fiddles with her outfit self consciesly (gawd how I butchered that
word!)]
That the best of all the years have gone by
[Looks at her reflection sadly in the mirror.]
Turn around
[Jonny whirls around, an annoyed expression on his face]
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
[Jessie cowers away as he yells and throws things around.]
And then I see the look in your eyes
[A close up of Jonnys eyes, warm and friendly.]
Turn around, bright eyes
[Jessie fondly brushes his blonde locks away from his beautiful blue
eyes.]
Every now and the I fall apart
[Jessie sobs uncontrollably in his arms.]
Turn around, bright eyes
[Jessie kisses Jonny beneath a street lamp]
Every now and the I fall apart
[Jessie holds Jonny and comforts him]
Turn around
[Jessie grabs onto Jonnys shoulder and pulls him back to her.]
Every now and then I get a little bit restless
[Jessie daring Jonny to chase her, then running out the front door.]
And I dream of something wild
[Jessie in a large bed, dreaming of things to come]
Turn around
[Jessie kisses Jonny again.]
Every now and then I get a little bit helpless
And I'm lying like a child in your arms
[Jessie lays wrapped in Jonny's arms.]
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit angry
[Jessie shouta at Jonny for some silly obscene reason]
And I know I've got to get out and cry
[Jess storms out of the house and heads for her car.]
Turn around
[Jonny calls back to her from the doorway]
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
[Jessie backs uneasily away from Jonny.]
But then I see the look in your eyes
[Close up shot of Jonny and his eyes are kind and understanding.]
Turn around, bright eyes
[Jessie looks into Jonnys eyes, sharp and a peircing blue.]
Every now and the I fall apart
[Jessie sobs on the sofs next to her husband]
Turn around, bright eyes
[Jessie and Jonny kiss and make up after one of their arguments.]
Every now and the I fall apart
And I need you now tonight and I need you more than ever
[Jonny takes her hand in his and tells her how he feels.]
And if you only hold me tight we'll be holding on forever
[She embraces him in a hug]
And we'll only be making it right 'cause we'll never be wrong
[He puts a finger to her lips to quiet her.]
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
[Jessie and Jonny, out under the stars.]
I really need you tonight, forever's gonna start tonight,
Forever's gonna start tonight
[He seals the promise with a kiss.]
Once upon a time I was falling in love but now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart
[Jessie holds her hands over her chest, she can feel her heart breaking.]
Once upon a time there was light in my life but now there's only love in the
dark
[The lights are clicked off, leaving her alone in an empty void of black]
Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart
Turn around, bright eyes
[Jessie looks at Jonny intently]
Turn around, bright eyes
[Jonny whirl around, annoyance written on his face]
Turn around
Every now and then I know you'll never be the boy
[Jessie turns away in tears]
You always wanted to be
[As Jonny tries to explain to her why it has to be this way.]
Turn around
But every now and then I know you'll always be
[The two are locked in a passionate imbrace.]
The only boy who wanted me the way that I am
Jessie laughs, her green eyes sparkling]
Turn around
Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe
[A shot of the stary sky, then of the two lovers.]
As magical and wondrous as you
Turn around
Every now and then I know there's nothing any better,
[Jonny plants a kiss on her forhead]
There's nothing that I just wouldn't do
Turn around, bright eyes
[Jessie pulls her beloved close to her.]
Every now and the I fall apart
[Tears stream down Jess's face]
Turn around, bright eyes
[He nudges her chin up, so that he can look at her.]
Every now and the I fall apart
And I need you now tonight...
[Jessie seals her promise with a kiss]
Once upon a time I was...
A total eclipse of the heart, a total eclipse of the heart
[He pulls her hands away from her heart]
Turn around, bright eyes,
[Jessie looks into his eyes, and knows that it will last forever.]
Turn around, bright eyes, turn around
[Repeat shots of the two of them at their wedding.]

for some reason b-b's comment reminds me of a radio programme on contraception. One Family pplanner officer gave an example of a boy who said he'd tried condoms, but didn't like them. They kept falling off. She asked him when he put it on, and he said, "when I'm getting ready to go out, just after I've had a bath"

My best ever night in Queens was when the Republic qualified for USA '94 after the Draw at Windsor. We watched the match in the Staff Bar (along with San Marino vs England - how we laughed). There was a visiting Spanish guy there and they qualified by holding a 1-0 lead against Denmark for an hour with 10 men (A draw there would have put Ireland out). We had this lad up Flamenco dancing on a table while 25 of us all screamed "Viva Espana". There were quite a few not too happy looking punters around the bar. Huge session in Mandela Hall, leading on to a 4-day session. Madness!

My brother knows, Karl Marx,
He met him eating mushrooms in the peoples park,
He said 'What do you think about my manifesto?'
'I like a manifesto, put it to the test-o.'

Took it straight down to meet the anarchist's party.
I met a groovy guy, he was arty farty,
He said 'I know a little latin man a cus man a kai'
I said 'I don't know what it means' he said 'neither do I'

Eat natural foods, bathe twice daily,
Fill your nostrils up with gravy.
Don't drink tea and don't drink coffee.
Cover your chin in yorkshire toffee.

Dancing in the disco, bumper to bumber,
Wait a minute, where's me jumper, ( x4 )

Dancing at the disco, bumper to bumber,
Wait a minute, where's me jumper ? ( x5 )
Oh no.
Dancing at the disco, go, go, go.
Dancing at the disco, oh no, oh no, oh no.
Dancing at the disco, go, go, go.
Dancing at the disco, oh no, oh no.
It's alright to say things can only get better,
You haven't lost your brand new sweater.
I know I had it on when I had my tea,
And I'm sure I had it on in the lavatory.
Oh no.
Dancing in the disco, go, go, go.
Dancing in the disco, oh no, oh no.
Dancing in the disco, bumper to bumper,
Wait a minute, where's me jumper ? ( x5 )
It's alright to say things can only get better,
You haven't lost your brand new sweater.
Pure new wool, and perfect stitches,
Not the type of jumper that makes you itches
Oh no.
Dancing in the disco, go, go, go.
Dancing in the disco, oh no, oh no.
And my mother, will be so, so angry.
And my brother, will be so, so angry.
And my girlfriend, will be so, so angry.
And my dog, will be so, so angry.
Cos I was dancing at the disco, bumper to bumper.
Wait a minute, where's me jumper ( x5 )
Oh no !

I went to an all boys school, so we didn'ta have school discos.

The main memories of discos at the Union bar as a student consist of loads of punk, Bronski Beat and - especially - Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

What's the worst chat-up line you've ever used or (XWP) had used to you?

The worst I ever used was to a girl I'd chucked a few weeks earlier but fancied again: 'Keep the fires burning'. The shame of it, the absolute shame.

Only school disco I remember (not counting Sixth Form Parties) we were all dancing to Madness and other ska/mod revival stuff. Friends of mine had the two-tone suits and pork pie hats... strangely enough it was a truly excellent experience... mind you, I was about eleven.

I'm standing in the corner picking my nose - probably head off down the video arcade in a few minutes with £10 I knicked from my dads wallet and play Xevious for 5 hours - I hate dancing anyway

i'm going to play the waiting game.

wait until you lot are all throwing your cider up, then move in cos i'm the only one standing.

i would also request Lady in Red or I'm Not in Love at this point.

All standing around the walls waiting for the action to kick off. Some of us hoping for that first snog, some already after a bit more. Loads of bottles of coke and lemonade on the table, but most have smuggled in something a bit stronger.

Abba playing away but still no-one wants to be first to dance.

TG and Sammy walk in. Boys' heads all turn.

Who is gonna make the first move?
