When Tigs logs in I think he will be really pleased at the effort we have all put into this thread

I am, I am. (if anyone gets this reference I'll be amazed!)

Hallelujah

Thanks for this old croc. I didn't think it were possible for anyone to better the Leonard Cohen version, but this does!

Amen to that.

Hallelujah!!!

C'mon now fellas, you know he just wants to inject a bit of spirituality into the Bedlam Flat Earth Society.

Hallelujah, Halleluyah, or Alleluia, is a transliteration of the Hebrew word הַלְלוּיָהּ (Standard Halləluya, Tiberian Halləlûyāh) meaning "[Let us] praise (הַלְּלוּ) Yah (יָהּ)." It is found mainly in the book of Psalms and has a similar pronunciation in many, but not all, languages. The word is used in Judaism as part of the Hallel prayers, and in Christian praise. It has been accepted into the English language, but its Latin form Alleluia is used by many English-speaking Christians in preference to Hallelujah.

Let us praise God.

Each to our own, I'm off out to enjoy the glorious sunshine.

Nice to see the research there Rob, this is totally correct. It's 'Yah' as in 'Yahweh', God's name. The Hebrew above for those of you interested is 'YHWH' as there are no vowels in Hebrew.

For Ping asking about the 'H' sound, it's actually more of a 'CH' so a heavily accented 'H', 'hah' if you like.

To whoever memtioned Eloi, 'El' is mighty one rather than the name of God, pronounced 'ail', hence 'elohim' being mighty ones.

"Micheal rowed the boat ashore......... Hallelujah...........

Another classic memory enhancer! We used to sing 'Micheal rode the girl next door...'

Hallelujah!

I think thats a city in Iraq

There's a 'funny soi' in Iraq?

Good idea. Do you know any decent spirit mediums (as opposed to high spirits and fortified spirits)? Perhaps the Reagans' Tarot card reader at a pinch?

So no one in Bedlam got this then?!?

ps I am amazed...

Now come on Suegha, you can't have it both ways! You first said 'if anyone gets this reference I'll be amazed', yet you were later amazed that no-one got it!

If there was a hidden message somewhere in there (perhaps something to do with the date - surely not because of the end of the writers' strike?), then please put us out of our misery and tell us.

You gotta sing it ......halelujah ....

The clue is that I remember it was a song in the past , but from whom ?

Well there was the Dr Alban song, but I think that's been mentioned...

"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."

Exodus 3.14. Although a bad translation for the name of God 'I AM' is used in the Authorised Version of 1611. It's the 'Yah' bit of halleluyah.

I'll get me coat!

Somehow I can't draw a parrallel between scripture and Thad's no effort post.

Then what was everybody on about with the veiled references? I'm lost.

Being an atheist, perhaps I can be excused my lack of knowledge of the scriptures. I'll happily erect my tent in the same camp as Soundman - totally lost!

Moi aussi.

Halleluyah!
