Now they are facts that count!!! lol

 

Welcome Shadow Captain!

WELCOME to Major Geeks. Don't know if you have had a PROPER welcome (though I don't know what that really is -- uh, yeah, I do. It involves cannolis and tacos, but you really don't want to get into ALL that)

If you haven't already, you should go to the "Interesting Web sites" forum and put this link there also, I think. It's pretty neat. Maybe put the home page of it there (I found it - but I'll let you have the honor) since it talks about movies, TV, etc. and gives people more choices.

 

Harry, Where did you get your facts from? Can you post the site as it is different to the one that Shadow Captain posted? Thank you

 

Lostkiwi,
No it is the same site as posted by Shadow Captain, just click on "Top 40"

Still makes me feel old. (and proves it!!!!)

Harry.

 

You don't doubt me, do you? Of course I did the research...I really have no life, you know.
