Thursdays

[ahinton]

I have it on good authority that one of our distinguished trio of current bicentenerians didn't approve of Thursdays in principle; now which one of them it may have been and/or for what reason/s I am perhaps wisely loath even to contemplate, although the French for that day might possibly offer a kind of clue to some...

And January now into double figures ! The passage of time us a fascinating subject.

I'm really excited as I have three days off in a row starting on Friday following a period of sustained work.

You really can't enjoy music when you're so tired.

[Resurrection Man]

From (vague) memory, Thursday is the only day of the week that wasn't in the title of a Top 40 record?

Things might have changed in this Millennium.

A quick Musical-Google aka iTunes Store threw up quite a few songs called Thursday...can't vouch for the musicality or the sanity of the lyrics, mind!

But haven't you noticed how quickly January seems to pass ? Maybe because for many the first week is a non-event due to extended holidays etc.

"Mrs. Thursday" was the B side (does that count?) of a Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich hit. I acquired it in a job lot of old 45s

PS It's f*****g terrible!

Ok, let's have a look on YouTube . . .

I've never been fond of programme music ! Even so I propose Mrs Thursday as the theme music to this thread . . .

I dont remember the TV show or that tune, from the time, but I do vaguely remember Dave Dee on Crakerjack cracking a whip!

Brian Eno's got a one-hour piece dedicated just to Thursday afternoons.

Loads of songs with Thursday in them, I expect Lat is right about Top 40 A sides though.

They call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday's just as bad
They call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday's just as bad
Wednesday's worse, and Thursday's also sad

Yes the eagle flies on Friday, and Saturday I go out to play
Eagle flies on Friday, and Saturday I go out to play
Sunday I go to church, then I kneel down and pray

Saw Chris Farlowe sing that unaccompanied a few years ago as part of the Manfreds tour - he's a big guy but what an amazing voice!

All a matter of an opinion. That's not my idea of a non event RM !!!
