Hello all ..

Viewers of BBC Breakfast news this morning had a good chuckle when Olympic Gold Medalist Swimmer REBECCA ADLINGTON appeared on the show.

Its 500 days now to the start of the London Olympic Games in 2012 and she was being interviewed by BBC Sports presenter CHRIS HOLLINS, who made quite a gaffe .. here it is ..

Smokey Robinson and Al Cleveland were shopping in Hudson's Department Store in Detroit. I think it was Smokey who suggested they get a bite to eat. Al then said 'I second that emotion'. I may reversed have who said what, but I clearly remember reading that tale many years ago. And that, of course, is where the song title came from.
