:rofl::rofl:

The International Playboys at Heroes cover it really well.

Try Electrical Storm by U2, but think Electric Toaster. Song confuses me now.

In true form we have gone from commiserating the loss of a loyal fellow poster to random drivel about misheard lyrics.

Anyway, I'm not going to be the one to change that...

Elton John - don't let your son go down on me.

are you chipping in with the incorrect lyrics theme, or is this a statement?

:lol:

So as not to disrespect the dearly departed, I started a new thread on the topic.

Are we taking bets on how long it will be before LH return yet?

I thought he came back briefly this morning under a different name.

Could someone let me know when this thread gets to maids, nazis or politics?

No, I suspect that was a mischievous chappie just up to a bit of no-good.

I think it is sad that any poster feels they want to walk away from the bored for the reasons LH has stated. I know LH in the real world, he has a lovely wife and a beautiful daughter. Cyberworld can be cruel, I know first hand how that is. It's easy to make a joke, take the piss then walk away and not give a thought to the person you have directed your quip at.

LH ignore the ones who piss you off, that's what the rest of us do.

That's amazing.

Yep I first heard it in 1993 and it's looked after itself well that gag.

I prefer the tune Elton played at Mother Theresa's funeral:

"Sandles in the bin."

Almost as old but still a classic.

Since newbies is one of the reasons for LH departure. I am going to make an effort to bring him back to the Sand Pit. There will be a ‘missing LH’ leaflets distributed this weekend at the Irish village, I am sure that he will make a visit there for a fine dining experience. Alternative suggestions are also welcome.

I offer myself as a sacrifice.
