As friends know I have a habit of whistling or singing the “Copacabana” by Barry Mannilow. I cant really explain where it came from and why i do it, but its been happening for about 4 years now.
Its kind of like the screen saver for my brain, hence when i am not doing anything it tends to be the thing that pops into my head. It is also something that happens when i am concentrating or am a little stressed, so it is pretty much taking over my live.

I have been having quite a stressful time recently as Leigh my girlfriend has finally convinced time that we can get the new kitchen we have been planning for the last 2 years. This though is not going according to plan and is causing daily high levels of stress, hence Barry is much more in my life…

I knew it got bad, when one of the guys that works for “Colin” asked me to do a posting on our test server for our community website. I couldn’t think of anything to post about, bearing in mind it is a test server, then along cam Barry again…

So while singing the wonderful (or not so) words to the “Copacabana” i re-wrote the first versus of the song in Colin’s favour, i called it the “Colincabana“:

His name was Colin, he was a developer
With yellow feathers in his hair and a dress cut down to there
He would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while he tried to be a star, James always played guitar!
Across a crowded floor, they worked from 9 till 5.30
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

At the PlusNet (PL!), PlusNet (PlusNet)
The hottest spot north of Sheffield (here)
At the Plus (PL!), PlusNet
Music and passion were always the fashion!

An if anybody is interested James is another developer that work in my team!
