50 years ago today. Still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Best part is the lack of celebration on scoring. That's class for you. Barbars v All Blacks 1973

Finally got a broadcast that coincided with my timezone. Nice radio voice and interesting choices (apart from the Peaches thing that I had never heard of). Good work.

There's a repeat on Thursday that works out at about 11am I think for me, so will try for that (work allowing).

Haven't heard it but just the idea that it happened makes me happy, so ta for that.

Just giving you something to work with now you're in the entertainment business - recollections may vary. Hope you've prepared some appropriate jingles. 'Don't touch that dial' - as they used to say when dials were a thing.

Have you read the full terms and conditions?

! ! ! ! ! ! Don't forget your scuffle at Le Bataclan. P.S. Please ensure this is recorded and available for posterity and those who will not be awake at that sort of time. Ta.

Your Ta basket has now completed checkout. A delivery date will be provided as soon as packing has completed at our depot (pronounced depot not deeeepot).

Your incomplete Ta transaction has timed out. Please log out and recommence the payment request..

But not me, since I am not just anyone. Partial ta deposit. Rest on full delivery of report..

Half way through El Cid. Interrupted by pleasant sofa snoozes. Will finish next weekend. On a more gritty note: third and final series of Happy Valley.

I see what you did there - well played! Ta

This is good to hear. Hopeful for the next album being more upbeat. Ta.

I always dry thoroughly after a wee break to avoid rust.

Sunday afternoon here. Was very tempted to watch El Cid too. Maybe this weekend if it's still on iPlaver

Ta LA

The Detectorists special - usual great low key stuff with a couple of nice twists. A treasure of itself. The Great Escape - from Boxing Day I think. What is Christmas without The Great Escape? Every time you think that Hilts just might make that jump over the wire.

You are never less than vital. Enjoy the the Largo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMlxM69ZJFA

I also heard yesterday that the last ever Doc Martin is going out over Christmas and I immediately thought of you LOL. It's funny that I've never seen a single episode.

Yes. My new gold dance is all prepared.

Interesting, I thought it would be a one-time narrative of 'the story'. Fingers crossed too. Did you ever see The Terror (series 1 - the one in the Arctic). Enjoyed that for the same kind of slow atmospheric development - though the actual 'terror' bits were the weakest part for me. Absolutely loved this.

The BBC have this and am getting into it - love the detail and the slow burn.

Maybe now. especially the first one with the fuller upbeat sound. Anyone who never cleans their trainers has already got me on side.

Always a pleasure Mr Beltmann :thumbup
