Hubby knows I like David Soul so he showed me the National Express advert and I can't stop singing 'Silver Lady' now.

I don't know how to 'blue' it, perhaps some clever GN will?

It was a hit in 1977 and he looks a right old chubby chops but I still like him confused

I have now caught the advert on t.v but it usually only plays a portion of the add..

I loved 'Silver lady' Pogs and will be singing it all day now. But, I have a vague recollection that David Soul was charged with assault on his wife at around the same time as that was released!

I liked his mate better and, if I'm lucky, someone will remember his name - was it Paul Michael Glaser?

Yes it was kitty, he was my favourite too. Never liked David Soul much especially after the wife assault.

Yes I think you're right. Maybe they'll show their programme again on Drama or similar! Haven't seen the ad yet but now I will look out for it.

Oh bugger.

Can't remember that. blush

The tune has special worm like qualities though, doesn't it? grin. Because, I'm still singing the dang thing!

I can't say I liked David Soul, but I do like National Express since I discovered how cheaply they can ferry DS back and forth for the odd weekend at home, without me having to drive for over an hour to fetch him. If you sign up for their offers, some weekends you can travel pretty much anywhere for £5, because they are busiest during the week. So I am threatening DS with turning up in Cambridge to take him out to lunch. grin I had to add the lunch bit, because at first when I mentioned it, he looked slightly pained. I don't think students have parents during term-time, they are all orphans and entirely self-sufficient.

Me too Kitty. grin.

I wish I knew how to 'blue it'.

Gosh, you're right - he certainly is a bit of a chubby-chops now! hmm

Or you can listen to the whole song

Foolish to wear a polo neck when you haven't got a neck! smile

Thanks Anna

It cuts off after a few seconds of the advert, what a shame. Ten Brownie points though.
