What the [expletive removed by Moderators] is going on around here?
After making [comments removed by Moderators] and trying to [comments removed by Moderators] in a relatively innocuous thread, suddenly I find [comments removed by Moderators] and, what's more [comments removed by Moderators].

I'm sure I'm not the only person subject to the phenomenon of getting one particular song going round and round one's head ALL BLOODY DAY, often starting from the very minute I wake up. Followers of my Facebook account will know that I had a particular problem with Albert Hammonds 'Free Electric Band' a couple of years ago.
