Does your chewing gum lose its flavour on the bedpost over night - Lonnie Donegan

7 drunken nights by the dubliners? (Song sounds as if it should be fun but isn't...)

Late November - Fairport Convention?

September Song - Kurt Weill?

Well done, that game lasted all of 13 minutes...

A song that sounds as if it ought to be about racing dogs but isn't by a group who denied being men despite plenty of evidence to the contrary.

Jenna Coleman is 35. I know she's not expecting any presents from forum members but I'd still like to give her one.

And I'm (finally) off and running....never liked them much in their heyday (Sweet and Mud for me) but they were at least better than all the 5 pretty Irish boys sitting in a line boybands that came along a generation later. If I continue to get one hit every 18m the last of my team should expire around 2184, by which time I can expect to have been dead for about 40 years.

Guessing king's Lynn fan? You're currently disputing 3rd bottom with my lot (Weymouth). Happily we'll both be spared this year by virtue of the league below being null and voided but confident we at least will be struggling again next year.

1 Bob dole - dead 500 2 Bob Barker 3 Anne Buydens - died 2 days too soon 3 Lesie Phillips 4Pete Murray 5 Clarissa Eden - dead 300 (or 350 if sub goes in at bottom) 6 Linda Nolan 7 Richard Bonynge 8Barry Briggs 9 Marian Fuks 10 Tommy Banner 11 Jean Hindmarsh 12 Ove fundin 13 Pope Benedict 14 Jane Berbie 15 J-L Trintignant 16 David Gupilil - 70 (or 85 if sub goes in at the bottom) 17 Jane Morgan 18 Dion Dimucci 19 Scarlett Moffatt 20 Freda Payne subs 21 Sarah harding promoted to replace Buydens - 21 (or 40 if sub goes in at the bottom) Jerry Lee lewis Rolf Harris Bjorn Knutsson Gary Glitter

Know I did. to be fair, Poch left them in 14th, Jose improved on that last season (finishing 6th?). This year they have remained in contention for top 6. Kane and Son have had great seasons, injuries apart, but the rest of that team isnt good enough, particularly the defence. Would be surprised to see anyone else get that squad into the top 4. Cr*p football some of the time though. Odd timing 6 days before a Cup final.

It's a good job you posted this on several threads. No one would ever have found out otherwise... :-)

RIP - we got over 70 years service out of him and unlike some others on here bore him no animosity. Unlike lots of others thought he was good for another year and think I failed to pick him anywhere...silly me.

Capt Sir Tom 100: Family unveils NHS fundraiser's 'birthday challenge' Published 12 minutes ago Share IMAGE COPYRIGHTPA MEDIA image captionCaptain Sir Tom Moore, originally from Keighley near Bradford, raised almost £33m for charities supporting the NHS The family of Captain Sir Tom Moore have encouraged people to take on their own "100" challenge on what would have been his 101st birthday weekend. The Army veteran, who raised almost £33m for NHS charities by walking 100 laps of his Bedfordshire garden before he turned 100, died on 2 February. People have been asked to create their own challenge around the number 100 to raise money for charity. His daughter was quoted as saying 'Please support this and keep buying the merchandise to ensure I stay in the public eye. I intend to try to get on Pointless Celebrities, Celebrity First Dates and the jungle programme before the end of the year - all to ensure his legacy is not forgotten, of course'

Congrats to Banana for slaughtering me (again!).

at 23-6 down I'm perfectly relaxed...

Middle of the Road's Sally Carr is 76 today. Let's celebrate by admiring her bottom ca 1971.

Evgeny Nesterenko, Russian opera singer who took the West ... sorry. a valid QO this time...

Read the tribute to Yevgeny Nesterenko... Russian bass Yevgeni Nesterenko off my 'The Fat Lady's singing' team dead.

A Call to Spy (netflix) - about civilian girls sent to occupied France to set up support networks for the resistance - good, if not life-changingly so The Bankers - about 2 black guys buying properties and ultimately 2 banks in the US in the 50s/60s. Stars Samuel L Jackson. Recommeneded.

The second series is not as good as the first and they've used different writers as well, so the characterisation has gone all over the shop. Also, despite the presence of a number of attractive actresses in the cast, there has been a collective and lamentably abject failure to flash more than a bit of shoulderblade when the occasion has demanded, even when two of them are in bed together, which has only added to my sense of disappointment.

Recently got Apple TV. The Morning show (with Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon) was quite good but not great, both the stars were outacted by a couple of other cast members. Ted Lasso is a fish-out-of-water yank out of his depth in England comedy. Sort of thing you could imagine Chevy Chase or Steve Martin starring in 30 years ago. Not bad but should have been a film rather than the 8-part series it was dragged out into and there is apparently a (IMO unnecessary) second series in the can. Dickinson is a bit weird but enjoyable nevertheless. Jane Krakowski is in it, who used to steal every scene she was in in Ally McBeal 20 years ago, she's very good in this as well. No idea what she's been doing for the last 20 years but surprised she hasn't had a 'bigger' career.
