@hunnybunny, the geography thing drives me mad. On the same programme a couple of them had not the foggiest idea of where South Korea was. The fact that they kept choosing China for everything seems to imply that they didn’t even know where China was. Today somebody failed to work out which country was bordered on either side by Canada and Mexico.…[Read more]

@brianN, both Angry Birds levels so 2-12 is Poached Eggs and 4-9 is Mighty Hoax. Conventional numbering so not much more to add. Annoyingly today’s Challenge (ABO 6-2) is not within reach using Ver 1.6.3, so I’ve had to sit it out. But at least on 1.6.3 I finally caught up with (and benefitted from) the self-collapsing level 3-9, which has some…[Read more]

‘Bout time we had another “idiots in quizzes” post. In House of Games today (I always have it on while I am cooking) the four celebrity contestants had to mark Singapore on a map of Asia. All four of them had been to Singapore, one of them very recently. So what did they do? Two of them went for the interior of China, not even the coast. The other…[Read more]

Alert, alert, an actual Angry Birds post coming up.

After much effort, I am just down to 2 levels in Angry Birds where I can’t get into the top 100.  2-12 and 4-9. 4-9 is glitchy, involves a non-rolling tank. But 2-12 has just driven me mad for over 12 years. Anyway, just got that off my chest. Might change my luck.

You can do better @hunnybunny! He hasn’t even got a beret or any onions.

Good Barbie colours I see.

Yes, I watched the Radio 2 Cure concert too. Then ended up with Jools Holland. Thought the David Gilmore stuff none too shabby.

Centuries of civilisation and it comes down to this.

The Minion can’t see where it’s going. It’s wandering down the street like a drunk.

Twiggy very confused – the doorbell has already rung about 10 times. The chicken hasn’t appeared yet. If it can lay an egg it’ll get double treats.

You moved the goalposts!

There’s about 40 witches and ghouls (and one chicken) roaming the street. Good family atmosphere actually. Large bowl of Celebrations at the ready.

It’s a deal.

I’m getting a very bad feeling about the election. US democracy may be none of my business but climate change is everybody’s. This post is not about politics, it’s about humanity.

I get charged £18 which is about £2 a window.  Do you want to pop down here and do mine?

I’ve just realised @brianN that there is footage of all the goals in the 1979 FA Cup Final at the end of the video, so it’s later than the EP. I really can’t imagine Tony Banks being a football fan – rather beneath him.

Struggling to pick out one outstanding year in the 1980s. It’s not a terrible decade but when artists like Prince and Madonna…[Read more]

Anyone remember this curio from 1977? From the Spot the Pigeon EP. Pretty naff but the video is a bit of a time capsule.
