    The advert for confuse.com. where the robots are making small robots in the factory and singing. What are they singing? it is driving me nuts trying to understand what they are saying, please someone help

    I think it's based on Apache by the Shadows

    I belive it's the Sugar Hill Gang's Apache, which was based on the Incredible Bongo Band's version of Apache:

    I swim most days and have never, ever thought to count my strokes, which is surprising as I have run out of things to think about (does anyone else remember how many lengths they've done by counting in player shirt numbers?) - I shall test out Donyngs Recreation Centre's pool and see if this phenomenon exists there.

    be lucky to find water in there!

    Thank you Raith, but Apache is an instrumental and still does not help me finding out the words

    Oh yeah that's what you said innit?

    Hawksmoor's got it though, Sugar Hill Gang's Apache #Jump on it. (I'm getting out of my depth here, all this hash tag stuff) but the lyrics are here - hope you enjoy singing along ...

    Trying to follow what people's opinions are about the Trust on the 'post KM meeting thread'. Every few posts someone says something like they don't feel the trust is representing them and they haven't seized the opportunity to question KM etc. I even think certain senior members of the trust are saying they don't feel the trust is representing them. I'm not having a pop at the trust here or any of its senior members, I'm genuinely saying following that thread and anytime someone brings up the trust, I can't workout who's happy with it or annoyed with it over the meeting

    Why a friend of mine didn't find it funny when upon announcing on Facebook she was engaged by putting "I said yes!", I got the first reply in as "Anal?"

    I've heard of MI 5 and MI 6, even the spoof MI 7 in Johnny English.

    Whatever happened to MI 1,2,3 and 4 though?

    I could tell you Len, but obviously I'd need to get my 'special' umbrella out.

    They may or may not be situated on the M7, M10 or M12 motorways.

    People who have been to zero Charlton matches this season acting as if they have strong opinions about the team and regime.

    Why does someone having an opinion confuse you? You don't know their circumstances.

    I have never been to House of Commons or met my MP but I still vote.

    When people say "thats cray cray" rather than just say: "thats crazy"

    I'm only 32 but what the hell is that all about?

    Same with Kayne West and the Kardashians... When I first heard of the latter I thought it was some comedy TV show about aliens (like Mork and Mindy), when will people realise that if you just ignore them, they'll eventually just disappear!!

    +1 for Kanye

    also the new rihanna song - absolute drivel, sounds like me mumbling after too many pints

    When people say that Louis Tomlinson (No Direction) would be good playing Jamie Vardy in a film!!

    WHY... He's a singer, he's never acted before in his life

    Why the fuck are they making a film about Jamie Vardy

    Totally missed the point about my last post but fair enough ;)

    Think its to do with the fact he's gone through the Leagues (never played in League One by the way) breaking records etc. (Is probably going to be like Goal! 2 rather than the original if it does get made).

    He's a good player but his career has been no different than Harry Arter... Both released at League One level, both drop down into Non-League, impress and get snapped up by a league side and rebuild their careers.

    Only difference is that its easier for Vardy to excel because its his job to score goals which is what everyone looks at

    When I contradict myself three times in a conversation with someone... i.e.: Yeah, no, I agree

    Does anyone else find themselves doing this?

    People who say 'pacifically' instead of 'specifically'.

    How can they possibly not know that's wrong? Effectively they think the biggest sea in the world is called the 'Specific Ocean'.

    The fact that Rangers have signed a player called Billy King but didn't give him squad number 1690.
