I can't listen to the Marvin Gaye version because Paul Young sang it And whilst we're on the subject of people who can't sing any more, Debbie Harry, she's 77 and it's no surprise but ffs give it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted June 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2022 Must admit, this VT hatred of Paul Young has come as something of a surprise to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not VT, I think everyone else just thinks he can’t hold a note any more. But yes, I absolutely hated Paul Young after No Parlez was released Im just as shocked that you, who hates the 80s likes Paul Young who really does represent a lot of what was bad musically in that era 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I don't hate Paul Young, I don't even dislike him. He never ventured on to my radar other than his cover of this. He was just a mid table 80s popstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not liking the stuff he did in the 80s, well that's just down to personal preferences. But to say he couldn't sing back then is plain wrong.

rodders0223 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I've said it before and I will say it again. If someone on my team has a Friday off and you get their out of office, and you then you forward that (VERY UNIMPORTANT) request to me - you're a bellend. I've got week long out of office and I figure it can wait,. You can't wait until Monday. Really?? Yes, that email isn't getting read and it isn't get a reply from me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I went to Halewood on Wednesday and on the return went over the Merseyflow toll bridge. Forgot to pay the toll until just now. It was supposed to be by midnight last night. Hopefully there’s a little bit of flexibility but I won’t hold my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mottaloo Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 For my part, I will admit guilt in the mate-gate affair.....mainly due to listening to Erdo Pete on WM who used the word as a verbal fullstop. Feel a bit bad now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they’ll track my name and address down via my registration and send me a letter? Edited June 17, 2022 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
