Having inadvertently seen something of a 'routine' by the Aussie 'competitor' known as Raygun, and then seen the efforts of Megan Keith in the 10,000 metres, I can only conclude that you're 100% correct. Both are Olympians, but in no way are their achievements comparable.

Ballroom dancing next, maybe.

Haven't seen one of these for ages!

Heatongrad is a typical Radio 2 Brexiteer favourite!

I have no idea what I did to make that happen, but it can only have been caused by the dragging of Happy Hour to its new position

Showing my age here, but I understood this!

Actor, writer, producer, director Robert Sidaway is critically ill in a Sri Lankan hospital.

As I'm rediscovering with the KoS of the 80s, I continue to conflate Bronski Beat, The Communards, The Housemartins, Erasure and probably one or two more.

As previously, there are a bunch of songs I don't know so I'll be voting on those I do (until such time I need to listen to some of the others (should that time arise)); of those that I do know, I recognise some are crap (imho).
