My efforts to 3-star all of Seasons without any reference to walkthroughs, just for posterity have ground to a halt on quite a few Pig Days levels. I’m starting at the most recent episodes and working back, so this is only the seventh episode I think. Well tough.

@hunnybunny, if you really want to fry your brain!  I’ve done number 1..

The 1% Club is stressful.

Twiggy and I were on the beach at Red Dwarf (a.k.a. Red Wharf) Bay this morning and were shocked to discover thousands (in fact I would confidently venture millions) of dead baby starfish. An astonishing sight. Also hundreds of pieces of what I believe is called Sea Pork which looks unnervingly like swollen pink human…[Read more]

Anyway, need to catch up with Quizzy Monday.

On that theme, who can forget the immortal Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack duet “Tonight I Sellotape my Glove to You”. Once heard, never unheard.

Spoiler

Some sources claim that they are both the result of things misheard – in Paddy MacAloon’s case “peppered sprout” from a Johnny Cash song and in Jack White’s case, Salvation Army. I think the second has more truth, but anyway, those origin stories are both out there.

What connects Prefab Spout to Seven Nation Army?

Tidy and also tidey.

That pier is tidy.

Speaking of storms I see Gregg’s second wife has weighed in with “My life with Gregg was utter hell!”…from the grave.

You know when middle class ghosts of a certain age start piling in that your time is up.

Here it is! My home town (city).

Llandudno pier seems to have bought it. Thankfully Bangor pier seems to have survived. I know quite a few people who run kiosks along it.

Can you be trusted with matches?

Anyone watching The Agency?Mixed reviews but I was hooked after the musical intro(Jack White’s version of U2’s Love is Blindness which includes totally nicked drum pattern from Bowie’s 5 years-3 great tracks for the price of 1)

Fassbender back on form,could watch that guy paint a fence for hours.

Enjoying the Bazball. And Gus’s hattrick.

You know, almost everything I have written in the last few pages will be nonsense to almost everyone. Even to me.

How are things in Walecestershire?
