Thanks! I'm on it.

Sad for you, drol.

Speak for yourself.

Strangely, announcing a death to the general public isn't always a priority for the bereaved family.

Farewell to a national treasure.

Wondering what had become of Belouis Some, I turned to Wikipedia which then led me to this page which I attach for your titillation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nudity_in_music_videos I LMAO at the description of the video for Soft Cell's "Sex Dwarf":

I was at an 80s festival and Marc Almond was on, and I astonished myself by still knowing every single word of that song

Just realised I had Ray Galton here, so I think that's four for me.

<sn-iggers at "member" being used in that sentence> ETA had to edit as swear filter wouldn't let me use perfectly harmless synonym for giggle.

WTF are you on about? You really are a wanksock at times.

No, I mean in the 60s - there was only BBC and ITV. No BBC2, that came much later. I don't remember there not being ITV, just that we couldn't get it on our minuscule old telly. I think my parents were one of the first locally to get a TV, but then they always kept things until they completely wore out. Unlike others who always bought the latest thing as soon as it came out.

Post of the day!

<in Four Yorkshiremen sketch voice> 4 TV channels? You were lucky! I remember when there were only 2 channels, and we could only get BBC anyway because my parents didn't buy a new telly for years after ITV started.

Spot on.

No. I'll start it off. Connect T. Rex Marc Bolan to David Gray in six-degrees-of-separation style.

WTF is wrong with having an annual thread for each pool? So much simpler to follow.

A reminder - still to be solved: Connect T. Rex to David Gray in six-degrees-of-separation style. Two songs should crop up along the way.

Awful, and shot in near-darkness as seems to be the fashion now. Might as well be on the radio. That's the last time I watch anything that Phelps woman has had her grubby fingers in. I should have known better after last year's abomination where she changed the entire plot and the murderer as well.

Correct!

I'll shove that bat up your ass and turn you into a popsicle.
