Is that your joke @ixan57? If so it’s a very good one.

But I am overdosing on Scottish accents at the moment with Dept Q. Into episode 3 and it’s top class. A great running gag about the lead cop’s very bad car parking. But it is very dark.

My Canadian contact sent links for two very successful Canadian bands she was pretty sure I wouldn’t have heard of. One was the mighty Doug and the Slugs, the other was April Wine (a bad a name as the other band’s is good). She prompted me to send an equivalent band/song back so I sent this. A band I saw live back in 1980 but seem to have been…[Read more]

I thought it might be the historical case unfolding. But it was done so well it was easy to miss. Some brilliant dark humour.

Adverts yes, particularly bad recently. Can’t remember a single one though.

Ha ha @brianN I am about 30 mins ahead of you in Dept Q. Agree very promising. Keep thinking it’s Ben Wishaw, no bad thing. Shocking end to episode 1…

My Canadian Wordle chum Trader Kate sent me a link to a song by Canadian 1980s band Doug and the Slugs. Ever come across them @brianN? For band names, they are right up there, not so sure about the music.

Under intense pressure from my fellow players, I put the score back.

I obviously have a heart of stone. But there again, I’ve started getting emotional over dog rescue videos on YouTube.

Anyway, point is I started watching House on Netflix. Apart from the fact that it is basically the same plot each episode, it’s entertaining due to the disgustingly over-talented Hugh Laurie. I did make a note at the start that…[Read more]

I gave my trophy away. No room in the cabinet.

Blimey,  we are playing for one of my trophies in the Challenge today. Thing is, it’s in Rio. Forgot I had this one. You are all welcome to it

She gave up because your pants were on fire.

Bother, I was going to guess that you had spilled beans on her.

Derby County and Scottish international Christian Dailly used to live round the corner from our house and next door to one of our friends in Derby. At the time Derby were a top ten Premier League team.

The Luton v Fulham game was memorable because in the Fulham team that day were George Best, Rodney Marsh and Bobby Moore. Fulham won 2-0. I was selling programmes.

Indeed, I’m sure it was only Clyde Best who featured. I did see his identical twin play twice. Manchester United 1970. Fulham 1976.

Ignore this @hunnybunny.

Here is a fairly ancient football question for you @brianN. Apologies if I have asked it before. In my 1970/71 football stickers album, which covered Division One (then the top flight of course) and the best players from Division Two, and which had in the region of 350 stickers, there was only 1 (one) black player. Who…[Read more]

That’s everything. It has to be one of those.
