    You'll be kicking yourself when you hear the answer, stubbornly refusing to reveal itself so far....;-)

    OK, can anyone give the connection between the following songs:

    Fairytale Of New York
    Dirty Old Town
    A New England
    The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

    Oh I am so in heaven....the McColls

    Fairytale Of New York...Kirsty Mcoll sings with the Pogues

    A new England, another Kirsty McColl song, written by the great Bill Bragg

    The First time, written by Ewan McColl for the new woman in his life Peggy seeger....not Kirsty's mother.


    Kirsty McColl one of my all time favourites...was killed by a stupid.@@@@....on a jet ski on my birthday.

    You should have included England 2 Columbia 0 in your list

    Oh you shouldn't have kissed me cause you started a fire
    But then I found out that you're a serial liar

    You lied about your status
    You lied about your life
    You never mentioned your three children
    And the fact you have a wife
    Now it's England 2 Colombia 0
    And I know just how those Colombians feel


    AM I RIGHT

    Of course you are right Beth, but you omitted that Dirty Old Town was written by Ewan Maccoll also (and covered by the Pogues).

    Over to you.

    Given that they were the last to be incorporated (forcibly) into the USSR I'm guessing one of the Baltic States tried to get out first. I'll go for Lithuania.

    At what venue in the world can the most people sit down at the same time in fixed seats (i.e. no temporary stands)?
