9 minutes ago, harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy said:Good luck to Coventry this afternoon in the FA Cup semi. They should be the DL’s honorary team (okok, along with Fort William) as that’s where we invented the DL a mere 6 months before Cov won the 1987 FA Cup. Several of us, including Grim, went to both the qf and semi, the latter a raucous day in Sheffield. This qualified us for tickets to the final, which was scuppered by the local constabulary, who ordered the club to sell tickets early to avoid people camping out at Highfield Road for 48 hours. So we didn’t go to Wembley, but we did do the stagger into town to celebrate with complete strangers, which is a great, blurry memory. Ah nostalgia, beer mats for goalposts isn’t it …

That's probably my fault - is there a back-up somewhere?

I suppose it might have crossed my mind subconsciously that the News at Ten theme was from a longer piece, but until reading the Diana Edwards-ones obit did I know what it was called - its The Awakening, by Johnny Pearson, and is of course on YouTube. The actual News at Ten bit is about a minute from the end. Anyone who's ever watched News at Ten will be adding their own 'bong' at the appropriate point. Guaranteed!

Diana Edwards-Jones, long-time director of News at Ten has died aged 92. She's the one who gave us the 'bongs' and also two presenters in tandem for a news broadcast.

This would suggest that 'God' is not all he/she/it's cracked up to be and maybe doesn't actually exist.

Designer John Miles has died aged 92. Designed 'corporate identities' (logos to you and me) for clients like BT and the Post Office. The current Royal Mail identity uses the double-line lettering designed back in the early 70s.

Its the 54th anniversary of Apollo 13's return to earth. As a kid, I was aware of it, never seen any of these TV broadcasts before (featuring James Burke, Patrick Moore & Cliff Michelmore amongst a few others who I don't recognise).

He'll be 95 this year. His brown belt in judo might scare the Reaper off him for a while.
Surely he should have used boxing?
