The 1992 version. To be fair, it’s a long time since I listened to them (~30 years). All my 7” singles are in an inaccessible place at the back of a cupboard which is where they’ve been since we moved into this house in 1994. I have probably dived into that box maybe only 4 or 5 times since then.

Can we just, once again, note that the British government should absolutely not be inviting this firm into our democracy?

Thanks Sue.
I’m after a copy of third edition Orbital 2100 to sit on the shelf gathering dust. I don’t even have actual room on the shelf, but that’s never stopped me before.

Simply send the first barrel of oil in the boat with the chickens, then send the fox back with the grain to pick up...no, hang on, send the *fox* first, pick up the oil...where was I?

I still find it slightly odd that not everyone is an omnigamer. It is true that money and time are against us trying to play absolutely everything.

How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail
I would rather
eat Quavers that are six weeks stale,
blow dry the man bun of Gareth Bale,
listen to the songs of Jimmy Nail,
than read one page of the Daily Mail.
If I was bored
in a waiting room in Perivale,
on a twelve-hour trip on Network Rail,
halfway through a circumnavigational sail,
I would not read the Daily Mail.
I would happily read
the autobiography of Dan Quayle,
1001 Things You Can Do With Kale,
selected scripts from Emmerdale,
if it meant I didn’t have to read the Daily Mail.
Far better to
stand outside in a storm of hail,
scratch a blackboard with a fingernail,
be swallowed by a humpback whale,
than have to read the Daily Mail.
If I was blind
and it was the only thing in Braille,
I still would not read the Daily Mail.
Brian Bilston
Today’s poem is called ‘How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail’.

Looking for a copy or audiobook of Bon And Lesley by Shaun Prescott in the UK. I really loved The Town, but this other book of his doesn’t seem to be available here. Is there a specialist importer of Australian books maybe?

The first ever winner of the “FIFA Peace Prize” is also likely be the first head of state to host a World Cup while bombing one of the participating countries.

Cats only recommend albums THEY want to hear. My mate has Wheels Of Steel by Saxon because his cat pointed to an advert for it in Sounds in 1980.

Is that Monks Wood in what used to be Huntingdonshire? We did a field trip there once.
