    Hi EO, How are you doing?

    I totally get this song. It is about a young woman who made bad choices and kind of sold herself for the attention of the wealthy, and regrets not having a more fulfilled life. Sure, she has been out and about and seen places, but this is kind of before the cheap flight revolution when travel was seen as a very sought after experience. Note the line about subtle whoring - whether she was taken advantage of, or went into things willingly is a court case in the making.

    A very sad song - they don't make them like that any more.

    Yes, I have a lot of time on my hands today - the people I have travelled to work with are poorly, so entertaining myself to keep busy

        Driving a Fiesta Diesel Titanium, so has cruise, DAB, aircon etc - very happy with that for just me

        Yep, bona-fide contractor with ltd company. No money worries, good war-chest, so very happy with the direction I am in just now.

        Hows you - have you reached the aspirational heights of the Aygo?

          I think you are confusing me with sas!

          I am getting divorced. Which is par for the course with me. Got made redundant and got a big payout - then walked straight into a contract. Should be enough to pay the lawyers!

          Spend last week in Dubai with the kids - very very nice.

          I am not sure I like everything going well for you! Can't you get married? I hate to see a man happy when he could be miserable...

            Hi Wilmslow, good to hear from you.

            I have been going through my old sounds because I want to make a new playlist.
            Ditching some stuff and adding other stuff. Im very old fashioned, I still use an ipod

              Need to find the right woman to marry first! There is a really good looking lady hot as heck for me, but sadly the feeling is not reciprocated. Marriage is defo not something to make me happy from what I have seen!!

              Good one about the payout then contract - exactly what happened with me.

              Good luck with the lawyers - hope things go as smoothly as it can!

                Sounds like she was a contractor with a bad agent.
                Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                  I recall Tony Blackburn playing this on the radio the day he discovered his wife was bonking Richard O’Sullivan
