The last few minutes were just cruel. Twiggy didn’t get her win bonus. Sent to her crate without her tea.

Max Boyce – I’ve just added him to the list of people who I thought had died years ago. I thought he was ancient back in the 1970s. I was clearly wrong, but living in Wales ages you before your time, obviously.

Add to list: Giant inflatable leeks. Daffodil heads. The inflatable leeks are probably banned come to think of it. Real leeks…[Read more]

Ian, will message you on Calpe

Cardiff will be pulling out all the stops tomorrow
Dragons, National Anthem, Bonny Tyler, Brain’s SA (better known as “Skull Attack”)
Max Boyce, hopefully The Stereophonics and Manic Street Preachers
England know…

We need some more from the girls.

Just found out my neighbour is travelling down to see the Wales v England match this weekend. I just said carefully “may the best team win”. I think I may have got away with that one.

Well it has dumbed down. The very first champion in 1972 had the incredibly niche History of Music 1550-1900 as their specialist subject. Magnus Magnesium is probably turning in his grave at modern subjects. I also know the daughter of the 1975 Mastermind Champion (no Brian, his specialist subject was not The 1975).

How about Mastermind itself as…[Read more]

I don’t know who to support.

I think I just basically hate rugby.

Had to play it, age 11 at school without my glasses so I couldn’t see anything.

Couldn’t wait for the summer term so I could play cricket. Then as soon as the summer term arrived I got bronchitis and the doctor signed me off games for six weeks.

@HunnyBunny intend going to calpe for a day. Can’t access old BP posts, is calpe the place where you said there was a nice little pub a walk up a hill?

But you need to show off your shiny new knees.

Talking of cricket, my mathematician friends and I were discussing the probability of India losing 15 consecutive ODI tosses. I won’t go into the numbers but the media have not covered themselves in glory here.

Which reminds me, ludicrous quiz answer of the day – Kalvin Phillips apparently ran an…[Read more]

Just booked an ODI Eng x WI
Six years ago St. Lucia
This year: Cardiff
Guess I won’t be wearing shorts and a sun hat

The non-appearance of ABo Challenges goes on. We must be up to 3-4 weeks now.

Mixing knees @hunnybunny, sure that’s wise. You may end up walking round in circles.

Benidorm?
It’s thirty minutes south from Calpe, but a million miles away!

Love the apostrophe, Dan

Off to Bristol next month to see the Tina Turner musical at the Hippodrome, staying at our favourite hotel. Can get it cheap on booking.com or such, but book direct you get 20% off food and drink, which we obviously make the most of

Calpe, Spain, our eighth visit, in May

And about to book a Christmas Cruise

But from…[Read more]

Still lurking @HunnyBunny off to benidorm on the 18th
