Correction. It's not "400 million years ago" (a measure of time), but 400 million light years away (a measure of distance - how far light would travel through space in 400 million years).

Every 2 minutes? Well, I just clicked on your link and they tell me that George Burley has just been announced as our new coach!

No live commentary on the internet. No one answering the telephone at Saints TV. No one answering the phone at Saints FC main reception.

Two fat ladies are 88. 22 is ducks

A total disaster, given the situation we're in. Quite unbelievable.

Let's go, Saints! Three points today.

The mind boggles!

Interesting, but it still doesn't sound correct to me!

more simple = simpler simple (regular) - simpler (comparative) - simplest (superlative) HTH

Don't know about him, but - I agree - he really looks like the Tony Hendra I was writing about.

Sounds like you just can't wait, eh!

Spinal Tap is a brilliant film. Tony Hendra did some great comedy work with National Lampoon magazine and many of the National Lampoon albums. He sang a devastating satire of John Lennon, called Magical Misery Tour for the album Radio Dinner. That LP also includied a hilarious satire of the uber-activist and folk-singer Joan Baez, called Pull The Triggers, ******s (We're With You All the Way) written by Hendra.

Congrats! The first 40 years of parenthood are the worst.

"Made a rag pile of my shiny clothes, Gonna warm my bones, Gonna warm my bones; I got silence on my radio, Let the air waves flow, Let the air waves flow".

Presumably he means that they have to show up AND show the right attitude and effort.

OK, if you like that sort of thing (blue-eyed soul). Daryl Hall is certainly a good vocalist - did some interesting work with Robert Fripp, for instance.

Well. I am studying the table after each game, and comparing our fixtures and results with those around us. I've not given up all hope yet. We can still survive. Where there's life, there's hope.

Lots of positives, though, for the other 10%? There was a time when motorcyclists didn't have to wear helmets. Is it a better thing now, do you think, that it's mandatory?

Thanks to you and Minty for the help!

I'm interested to know how to calibrate my computer screen. Any advice would be gratefully received!

They don't help if you fall and bang your head on icy snow? Would Richardson be alive now if she'd been wearing a helmet?

Of course we care - what else has the angst and delirium of the last few months been about?
