As I attempt to reply to thread :-

I can't help noticing that the previous reply by one unlikely named Big Jessie on

is equally unlikely posting number 205.
Well done young Steve you have single-handedly managed to scrrew up the corfid Bulletin Board!!
Steve's original thread subject:-

it appears however in the original thread

in other words literally then Steve's opening posting to this "alternative" thread has the alternative italianesque subject title:-
Lightfoot lyrics challenge for GL cognoscenti - give it a try !
the 4 subsequent replies to that thread have come from John in CT
Steve himself and a trying hard Charlene and posting #5 is from a Podunk lady in CT too
all those 4 replies bear the subject title from the other thread however so Steve's starter is an orphan in that thread
but my reply to it is locked into the other thread and has the later "cognoscenti" subject title and is an orphan amongst postings
in that thread
I will now post this screed on both threads and see if corfid explodes!!
