Ha ha @hunnybunny, I always knew your middle name was strop.

And (pedant alert buzz buzz buzz), proper name is Worcestershire sauce. I worked for 10 years in Worcestershire and people can be very particular.

And, when Hereford and Worcester was created as a new county in 1974 from the two former counties, people were incensed. It was like…[Read more]

Once again hurrah for Canada!Right up there in my top three crisp flavours along with pickled onion and Worcester sauce(guess we can claim that one).Pity they’re not available in the US ,you could put tariffs on them.

Yes we tackle the really serious stuff down here.

As for Doug the Thug @karen68 I was always told the way to deal with a bully is to kick him in the goolies (very woke).Very few politicians are standing up to Pennywise but he’s one of them.Chop their leccy off I say!(but not yours CnB).

Did you really invent ketchup crisps(chips)??I’m impressed.

Sidenote on Shipbuilding apparently Bowie was asked what he thought was the best song released in 82 and he referenced Wyatt’s version of Shipbuilding so you’re in good company @karen68.

As for the orange one @catsnbirds just as narcissus overreached himself and fell in a pool and…[Read more]

It is so embarrassing…and frightening…to be a USA citizen at this moment in time. Not what all of my great grandparents were looking for when they emigrated from Norway!

@karen68. Wow, I too am proud to be Canadian after all that Land of Hope and Glory.

But I was very interested in a tiny snippet – was that a fleeting shot of Terry Fox  just after half way through? I had never heard of him until last week when he featured in a BBC series called History’s Youngest Heroes. I was going to ask you about him, as he…[Read more]

Talking of Robert Wyatt(well he was).He did cover some great songs very well this one a personal favourite.https://youtu.be/MZ2DdrTPY58?si=RCNRJBVOW_Nje1tI

Talking of Robert Wyatt (well I was), this is an awesome cover of the Monkees’ hit. In fact, one of the all time best covers ever, IMO. Incredible extended outro. He’s roped in a few friends to help – Nick Mason (Pink Floyd) on drums, Andy Summers (pre-Police fame) on guitar plus other famous names of fifty years ago if you were into groups like…[Read more]

The thing that impresses me most about Squonk scores is that they’re all achieved fat fingering on an android tablet.

AB of low priority?!You need to sort your life out .As for me reconstructing an imitation of a Rovio server,Ah yes very funny,I can still hear the laughter reverberating around the walls in the Lurkers Lounge.

My idea of a server is someone who brings out a nice glass of Malbec to go with my chateaubriand or John McEnroe sending down those sliced…[Read more]

@vuelva, I am getting round to it. I really need to play it on my PC rather than fat fingering it on my phone but at the moment I have 7.2.0 loaded up which is more flexible for jumping from episode to episode than some versions, but which doesn’t include Jurassic Pork. I was also still trying to get all 699 levels into the top 50 of which I am…[Read more]

@desperate-dan why don’t you play jurassic pork levels? i’ve wondered about that for some time, since you’re (relative to your other episodes) quite far off; replayed JP-37-8 just now and to my surprise quickly (within 5 minutes) increased my score for it (to 252960 / 3; see my album), to up my total score to 10304950. Tristan da Cunha I only know…[Read more]

shire.spray.scrum. A good place to take a cruise. It’s in the South Atlantic about 500 miles west of Tistan da Cuhna.

The wait for an ABo Challenge goes on.
