    OK, people - it's vote-rigging time again.
    The BBC are at it again - this time however they're asking everyone to vote for their favourite song of all time. So obviously we're going to try and mess it up for them. Go to the website
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/us/features/topten/ and enter your details.

    In the boxes for Favourite song and Artist add the following:

    Artist : Wolfe Tones
    Song : A Nation Once Again
    Why : 800 years of oppression is why!

    ** Currently, it's just outside the Top Ten, so get voting, and pass it along to everyone you know...**

    I did it and sent it on, it would rock if it gets on. I don't think we're the only people doing this though coz Cher- Believe is at No.4. I hope thats not serious

    "Just Listen And You will understand"

    Band-Aid - Do They Know Its Christmas
    Simon and Garfunkle - Bridge Over Troubled Water

    It will probably be some asian song anyway - lets face it who else lsitens to the world service? I'd say in the final tally the wolf tones might be removed from the chart

    As its now an open secret whats going on, then I'd say every vote for A nation Once Again will be discounted.

    Mike.

    Look The Wolftones are ****. There not even a proper rebel band. They refused to play in Northern Ireland during the troubles. A bunch of pussies. You should have all voted for proper Irish bands like Rory Gallagher (I voted for him), Thin Lizzy, The Frames and so on.
