@LivingInThePas5 Amoreena.

Name the song And when it rains, the rain falls down Washing out the cattle town, And she's far away somewhere in her eiderdown, And she dreams of crystal streams Of days gone by when we would lean, Laughing fit to burst upon each other

At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, walked through the park in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully. Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her. The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter “written” by the doll saying “please don’t cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures.” Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka’s life. During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable. Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned. “It doesn’t look like my doll at all,“ said the girl. Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: "my travels have changed me.” the little girl hugged the new doll and brought her happy home. A year later Kafka died. Many years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written: “Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way.”

@LivingInThePas5 Monkees.

This band started as a manufactured group but gained control to play and sing their own compositions. In 1966-67 alone they had 3 #1 songs, 9 top 40 and 4 #1 albums. They had a corresponding TV show those same 2 years. But by 1968 the shine began to fade. Hey hey who are they?

@LivingInThePas5 American Pie.

Name the song Oh, and while the king was looking down The jester stole his thorny crown The courtroom was adjourned No verdict was returned And while Lenin read a book on Marx The quartet practiced in the park And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died

@alfalonso It's a nice memory. Here in Jersey, Geoff's brother Mo (RIP) and nephew Bradley were also top sportsmen.

@mccarthy_roy And saw Football League history! Fabulous anecdote Roy 👍

7th September 1968. Blues 5-1 Huddersfield Geoff Vowden replaced Ron Wylie at half-time & became the first ever substitute to score a Football League hat-trick (goals in the 71st; 75th & 89th minute). This remains the only hat-trick scored by a sub for Blues. RIP #BCFC

@LivingInThePas5 Bangles...?

This band was formed in 1981 by the lead singer and her two sisters. They had 3 albums in the 1980s producing 8 top 40 hits including 2 #1 songs before breaking up in the late 80s. They reformed a decade later with limited success but you may still have an eternal flame for them.

@LivingInThePas5 Creedence...?

Formerly the Golliwogs and Blue Velvets before a name change in 67 and incredible success in 1969, 70, 71 where they had 14 top 10 hits and five top 10 albums. The band had a messy breakup the following year. If you can't name them there might be a bad moon on the rise.

@TomJGarry Looked to me like an OG, because of the push? Good decision I think.

That should be a goal for Chelsea, Buurman did nothing wrong. That's an absurd decision. #uwcl
