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]

Personally I’m quite happy to see anything except Star Wars. I was over-reacting. What do you other guys think?

If the challenges are now truly random, I estimate there is a 5% chance we could go 17 days or longer without a single ABo level. It’s almost as bad as Hollydog. It’s not healthy. I’m going cold turkey. There are consequences. I could die!

The on the other hand, I could be over-reacting.

Apologies for all that. No idea what is going on.

Testing testing.

Wynne Evans and Joanne Page gallivanting on Penarth pier BBC1 tonight @hunnybunny.  Not as good as Bangor pier though.

No not that. Poor Alan, he must get a lot of blockage.

I was wondering – is that a different level or just the same one?

BTW my US Traitors post needed a moderation check. Was that because I just said US Traitor? I’m going to find out.

Starting to go off the new random Challenge a bit. Angry Birds is now undergoing a long drought and we seem to keep getting death star levels.

In the absence of that doing that I turned back to House of Games. I swear last week’s bunch were the most moronic ever seen. Queen Victoria crowned in 1917? Death Valley in Florida? The clues bard,…[Read more]
