Glen,
This reminds me of the theme when we had lunch instead of love.
We could have a food theme which involves removing the word Rock and replacing it with Fork, e.g. 'Fork me Gently'

Gaie,
Springsteen wrote Because the night, so we can't upset Norrie by telling him you don't like it.
#9, You implied that the Johnny Winter song wouldn't get played.
#11, I agreed with you, adding that the Patti Smith song wouldn't get played either.
#12, Norrie admits the thought had crossed his mind.
#22, We know you're a wee bit slow, so we make allowances.
#22, Whilst remaining far out of firearms range.
#24, Senga leaves a link to the song we can't mention. (See #11).
#26, You are getting seriously confused here. Again. :o(
#31, So am I.

The bridge is quite unteresting as it was actually designed by ean Englishman, William Clark, who was an early pioneer of suspension bridges. But the construction was carried out by a Scottish Engineer Adam Clark who later designed a nd supervised the Buda tunnel. He was also a social reformer and so popular in Budapest they named a square after him (just below the funicular railway which is also a cracker).
