Beaten my score 4 times I think but keep adding 200 and still 200 short. But I blew 124k. Still time. But it sounds like the old girl isn’t expecting anyway.

Gobbler’s Knob, Gobbler’s Knob, Gobbler’s Knob, Gobbler’s Knob…Ha Ha Ha!

I’m Ok folks. I’ve had my medication now.

This one will test the moderators.

Not sure if Phil got it right at Gobbler’s Knob today. Twiggy’s gone the other way on that one. Phil hasn’t got the hang of climate change.

I think my favourite Dr Who episode may well be the one where they (Smith, Amy, Rory and a closet gay CIA agent – don’t ask) all end up in the White House with Richard Nixon. During the course of the programme, The Doctor advises Nixon to start taping his conversations in order to uncover aliens. Nixon of  course does and we all know where that…[Read more]

Yaaay!  Big Set Up for Challenge. I’m feeling lucky.

If Punxsutawney Phil isn’t feeling up to it today then Twiggy is available for predictions.

Had the critics purring, but the public didn’t fall for them big time. Will that fate befall young Ayden?

Or even which band @brianN will put on the jukebox next?

Can we get a “free” pup if we can guess tomorrow’s Challenge level?

There’s random and then there is…well, not very random. Another Death Star level. That’s three since we last had anything from ABo. Very niche indeed. But, and here’s the the thing, true randomness looks nothing like what most people expect it to look like.  So I’m prepared to sit this one out and wait my turn. In a month’s time we will all be…[Read more]

Miss February.

How can I tell you @hunnybunny without getting moderated again? But in truth, I don’t know. It wasn’t about you.

Wales 28-0 down at half time against France.  Good job I’m not Welsh. Not this year at any rate.

Arrgghhh, moderation again. X, Instagram etc may be heading one way but the Nest is bucking that trend.

Apart from Lennon/McCartney, I would say Paul Heaton is a match for every other song-writer Britain has ever produced. There are just so many great songs, and with two different bands. And lyrically, he’s a far more interesting listen than most of the Beatles’ songs.

You are a very naughty person, @hunnybunny.

I wonder how often this was accidentally played on mainstream daytime radio.

It must be admitted @hunnybunny, that while Bangor pier has the superior length, Penarth has the superior girth. I feel a song coming on…

I think then @birdleader, we just leave the Challenge as it is and maintain a frisson of the unexpected. Other than that one of us ought to step up to the plate and manage it.  If we are not prepared to do that, then we shouldn’t put more pressure on you to fine tune it.

Genuflects obsequiously.

@hunnybunny. Bangor pier won Pier of the Year in 2022. It was commended for having the best panoramic view of any pier in the UK. When Penarth won in 2024, Bangor was third. So, in truth, these two Welsh piers are the cream of the crop. Llandudno, which fancies itself, hasn’t won in 20 years and can’t even stand up in a storm. I am a Bangor pier…[Read more]
