Was bit murky when I looked in but swore I saw David Threlfall...


..and a local match seller told me that the 'international/world famous' star referred to was Hugh B. not Mr Mac.


Giggsy was definitely practising his inswingers though.


Believe Sheerah and Ms. Logan were in another bar altogether.


And Monty was in the old bar with Andrew Marr and Fred the Shred before it got bulldozed

The Premiership footballer confessed all to his wife the other day, wife subsequently "devastated", Ryan Giggs doesn't play for Man Utd against Arsenal today as he has 'a touch of flu'. Team mates realise identity of super-injunction holder, play sh-t and get beaten 1-0. Just a theory, mind.

Wasn't i being obvious enough? i did credit Gerald Wiley (Ronnie Barker's nom de plume) and he used it thus "Tonight's news will be read in broil. I'm sorry I'll feel that again..."

Hmmm maybe but... Cook first used it in 1976 on Derek and Clive (Live) and I think Barker may have already used it by then so maybe Cook stole it from Barker? (cries of "surely not!" "never!" etc)


ETA: the quote -(circa 197?)


Scene, Barker taking off a BBC newsreader, shoulders and face shot looking straight into the camera, very serious....


" And that was the news for our sighted viewers. We now continue with the news in Broille....."

- pause, with puzzled look on his face, looks down at his hands floating over a big book

"Sorry, I'll just feel that again!"

    • There was quite an old clip on BBC4 recently where they were introducing yoghurt to the British public. They called it a 'Balkan Dairy Preparation', which sounded to me more like something you'd ask to speak to the male member of staff about in the chemist in those days.
    • I haven't had any problems, except when the online  appointment system is full, but I have found if something is urgent they can fit you in if you phone. I think they probably keep a few spaces free for urgent last minute appointments, but I'm just guessing  I've found it quite convenient being able to email questions which previously I would have had to ask at an actual appointment, and I've always had a speedy reply. You can send photos as well. I don't know about forms and letters. That sounds bad. Have the admin staff changed recently?
    • Nearly a quarter of the way through the season. Week 9 points...   Week 9 table...  
    • The yoghurt was very sharp (not sure of right word) and  if memory serves quite runny. Nothing like the stuff sold now. There was pink as well. Strawberry? That must have had sugar in? Too new fangled for us, but my Auntie Grace down the road used to get it 😂 Well, you had to keep up to date. Sorry, couldn't resist.
