Today
2006, 50 Cent was stopped by police for alleged unsafe driving in New York and received citations for an unsafe lane change, driving with an expired permit, driving without insurance and driving without vehicle registration.

2005, Terry Howard a studio engineer who had been accused of stealing recordings belonging to late soul singer Ray Charles was cleared of all charges in a Los Angeles court.

2005, Liverpool City Council confirmed it was to demolish Ringo Starr's birthplace because it had "no historical significance."

That's sad about Marc Bolan :-(
Bob the builder :lmao:
Yeah I thought the Bob the Builder would tickle you :-D
I was Dj-ing at the time Bob was No.1, it was around my busiest time too when i was doing 3 or 4 gigs a week, boy did i get fed up of that song!!! My heart used to sink when i saw that there were kids at the party, i just knew i was gonna get loads of requests for it.
Having said that it was requested at a wedding i did once, what's strange about that??
The BRIDE asked for it, she and her friends proceeded to then dance in a circle to it :shock: wish i had a camera right then :lmao:
I only found one other song more annoying than this to play all the time, and it was the crazy flipping frog!!!

Now that's strange! How old was the bride?

The crazy frog wasn't even a good song the first time you heard lol. Not that Bob was any better but at least it made sense as to why people(children) liked it
I would have guessed the bride was at least early 30's, waay to old for bob anyway lol
And i was even happier (not) when they released the crazy frog album :rant2: the kids had a variety of annoying bloody tunes to request :rant:
I would just lie and say I don't have the album with me, must have left it in the other van :lmao:
The bride was crazy, or extremely drunk lol
