I'm sure mine are around here somewhere...I just need to find me glasses

Yes, that's yours towards the top, Magwitch

Um, those with the left eye turning in a bit are mine. Thanks.

Sorted!

"They are back

Thanks for putting them back next to our names

Must have been quite a job. . . "

Excellent news.

I'll leave the page here, as I have a sneaky feeling we may need it again at some point.

Can I still bag a spare set just in case then?

The ones on the very right of line 4 look strangely familiar.

Ma! He's making eyes at me!!

Bagged!

For the night has a thousand eyes

(Who sang that, then?)

Bobby Vee?


Not that I am old enough to remember..

She's got Bette Davis eyes..

Well, it was an inspired guess in that case! Yes, Bobby Vee reached no 3 with it in 1963, which was before I was born, thank goodness.

Oh!


I'm not saying how old I was then...

Just providing you haven't mixed in Gray Gilmore's eyes by mistake!

-admission. I've never been very good at names. When I first heard that song I managed to confuse Gary Gilmore with David Gilmour. Not the name, I just thought Gary Gilmore was the guitarist!
Doesn;t make as much (or indeed any) sense when you do that...
took me a while to realise my mistake, it must be said.

Gray? Doh! Gary - and I had previewed it!

Silly little ..

5. Andy Williams

9. Englebert Humperdinck

14. Crystal Gayle
