Albert Tatlock

I was impressed with his voice when he was on Jools Holland a couple of months ago. Of the crop of 60 year old rockers, he really is still doing it just like he used to. I will be watching this tonight

"I span the genres. They call me the genre spanner."

12 even? 10 Whole Gale With which she could only bear close-reefed maintop

So he's a ten? On the Beaufort Scale of course? Come back Michael Fish, all if forgiven

Oh yeah, well my Dimensions go up to "11"!

Ditto.

Well the QI stands for Quite Interesting ...

Note to Kyle, it is not the "Honey dos" that are generally the probem, but the "Honey don'ts".

I came dashed close to changing my avatar to some of the things in there. What do you think? Is Mr Gumby sacred now? Great to see Stephen Fry getting involved! Do you get QI on US TV?

Yes

A real punk would not care. Anal anarchy! Snaffle away!

Similar but different: I was in a pub in Prague on New Years Eve once with my wife. I could hear the two Irish guys on the other side of the pub table discussing my chances of pulling this Czech bird. I spoke to them in the end and we had a laugh over it. Oh, and pet peeves - mens socks with a diamond pattern on the ankle, and keychains worn on belts, and people who walk too slowly.

I did see that last week Meanwhile: http://www.controlancy.co.uk/fun/lost_jewels.htm
