Birthday Alert

Before we get into today's post, a quick reminder for anyone planning to submit an entry for Pun Fun 3 who has not yet done so. The deadline is this Sunday (18 January). All the details are in last Monday's post.

We now return to our scheduled programme. 

This blog turns 17 tomorrow. I didn't want to wait until then to mention it as it would just disappear beneath Rol's Saturday Snapshots, Charity Chic's Saturday Shuffle, Swiss Adam's Oblique Saturdays etc. I need a bit of attention on my blog birthday and this is the only hope of getting any.

"Sweety Seventeen" - Behroze Chatterjee

"Only Seventeen" - Nina Hagen

"Seventeen" - Tomberlin

Here are some more 17ers with a song whose message is sadly at least as relevant today as when it was first recorded 45 years ago (and one that hopefully would have warned Liesl off Rolf had it been around back in 1938).
