Show Goes On, The (The Very Best Of Neil Sedaka) - Neil Sedaka

Advantages: Makes a change from nubile young things
Disadvantages: The nudge nudge wink wink element from some

...Calendar Girls Yesterday, I went to see the film Calendar Girls. This was a rare treat to go to the cinema as money has been exceedingly tight of late and both me and mine needed a pick-me-up! I remember the furore back in the late 1990?s, when I was working for a charity, around a calendar that had been produced by the WI that featured naked middle-aged women. At the time my colleagues felt that maybe we should produce one too in order to raise funds for our charity, but on further thought decided it was very unlikely that any of us would manage to sell any calendars unless there was a good deal of special effects.

She was playing a part that I could understand Maid, a man needs a maid When will I see you again?" Talking about Drug abuse in ?The Needle And The Damage Is Done? Young ruminates "..I?ve seen...
