There do seem to be some “serial” contestants.
I remember the Stainers (especially the very lovely Katie Bramall-Stainer) on a few shows, including Only Connect, hubby David also won Brain of Britain on the radio […]

Which one?

I fast forward Pointless for the inane chit chat that seems to make up 70% of each programme.
And Mastermind is no more than a pub quiz these days, and the questions are so long, it seems they’re written to give […]

Afterword connection.
Some friends of ours were playing Articulate, when “fox” came up as one of the words.

No problem, thinks my mate, the wife will get this in a jiffy, I know exactly what to do.
“Actor, […]

Never heard of the Stalingrad cowgirls but will be investigating! Thanks!

Nicola Walker is about to be viewable (on Alibi) in a tv version of her Annika Stranhed radio “plays”.
Despite being transported to Scotland and not its native Oslo, I’m looking forward to that too. She is cu […]

Leeds 86-89.
Bodington Hall year one, the Harolds in Burley, years 2-3. I got a decent grant, topped up with the maintenance money from my dad paid direct to me. At least 3 of my mates blew their term 1 grant at […]

Same here and I will do the same.

There are about 10 of my all time fave tunes on that playlist, it’s a cracker!

RIP indeed. I must confess I hadn’t heard until last week. One of my fave bands.

Tremendous stuff, but surely ripe for one of those parodies, like with Hocus Pocus?

Some wondrous choons on there. Im going to give that a spin.
I saw the Dogs D’amour a few times, my mate was a huge fan. One time at Hanley, Bam Bam broke my mates nose. In a friendly way, obvs.
And Come A […]

The Corrs or the Doors?

Maths lover here, I also had a good teacher.
I’ve kept a lot of my O level, A level and degree exam papers, and I have to say, some of the maths papers, that I pretty much sailed through at the time, I haven’t […]

I remember one line clear as a ball from a JC tape I borrowed from the library as a youngster.

“My agent got a phone call the other day for a gig. The voice on the other end says “Do Jasper Carrott want to play […]

I think I find it more unbelievable that the number was nearly 5 hours a day in April 2019…

From their “purple patch” period.

@Skirky
Not often you are Tesla mentioned on here. One of my faves back in the day.

Not to my knowledge.
Acca dacca fans will know all about Live at the Atlantic Studios though, which was a much sought after piece of vinly back in the days of record fairs and my youth. Effectively, a proper gig, […]

Loving your work.
Reminds me of the geeky (almost certainly apocryphal) anecdote about the statistician who was with an assistant on a train journey, and apparently saw a 50/50 ish split of white and black […]
