(It was only after leaving Aberdare Barnado's i realised what a composite picture it made and was looking over my shoulder for the cops for the rest of the afternoon).<BR/><BR/>It's not as if I later trawled online record shops paying top dollar for further Minipops albums having lost auctions for them on Ebay.<BR/><BR/>Oh, er, hang on a minute....merrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959849087751101034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441439.post-1144271906512089322006-04-05T22:18:00.000+01:002006-04-05T22:18:00.000+01:00Now now, Merrick.

But the claim that I own anything of de Burgh's post-1980 is way below the belt. It's just foul.<BR/><BR/>OK, so I do have that live album from the 90s... but he does all the 70s stuff on it. And accusations of owning singles from the mid-80's sicken me, and I demand you take it back. Yes, yes the live album does have <I>Lady In Red</I> on it... but that's what programmable CD players were invented for.<BR/><BR/>And quite frankly, Merrick, your record collection contains just as many howlers as mine. Claims of "oh, but it's ironic" or "It's just for the radio show" don't make ownership of mini-pops albums any more respectable you know?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441439.post-1144099565874880892006-04-03T22:26:00.000+01:002006-04-03T22:26:00.000+01:00Jim, my clear and overt love of donkeys is well do...Jim, my clear and overt love of donkeys is well documented. That you could clutch at so pathetic a straw shows your position's laughable lack of substance, thereby leading the reasonable reader to wonder what it is that you really want to defend De Burgh for.<BR/><BR/>'First couple of albums have nice tunes on', yeah yeah, and Hitler was a reasonably competant landscape painter too.<BR/><BR/>Let's not mention your record collection containing the 12 inch of Tender Hands, shall we, Jim?merrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959849087751101034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441439.post-1143644047993877072006-03-29T15:54:00.000+01:002006-03-29T15:54:00.000+01:00Merrick, we have long established that your so-cal...Merrick, we have long established that your so-called self-styled "dislike" of Chris de Burgh is actually a cover for your dark and seething hatred of donkeys. You see a man trying to help out a few of our most unfortunate and downtrodden animals, and you immediately leap on the offensive, insisting that he's "evil" in some way.<BR/><BR/>The man has released a lot of truly awful pap. Far more than he should have, no question. But the first couple of albums have some nice tunes on them. Which is more than you can say for Huey Lewis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
