Just spotted Jamie Bamber, too.

I remember going to a Rangers v Falkirk game at Ibrox. They brought on Andy Cameron to warm up the home support. It was dire. The guy next to me shouted "You're as funny as Lenny Henry"

Does it still have to be real countries? If not, this one for me. On the subject of New Zealand

Come the autumn, see who is in the jungle or on Strictly. I have no clue who most of them are.

Nobody gone for Russell Brand?

For her 18th birthday my wife asked her parents for a CD player. They bought her a CD but no player.

Years back my wife worked at the deli counter at a supermarket. An hour before her shift ended she sliced open her finger on the meat slicer. I had to pick her up and take her to hospital for stitches. They didn't pay her for the last hour of her shift.

I just watched Bradley Walsh's Comedy Heroes, and there is an episode on stand up. I really enjoyed it.

I was reminded yesterday of some of the terrible presents i have bought in the past. As a kid there was a shop in Alloa across from the library that was my go to place for stuff. Games, books, videos, it sold all sorts. First, in the category of not knowing what the hell it is, when I was about 12 I bought my mum a pair of Mills & Boon books. I am trying to imagine my reaction had my son bought my wife erotic fiction at that age. Second, in the presents in disguise category, for Mother's day I bought my mum not one but two Star Trek Deep Space Nine videos. She kindly told me to just watch them myself. I followed this up by buying her for her birthday Gryzor for the Commodore 64. Turns out she did not own a C64. Luckily I did.I So...what terrible presents have you ever bought or received?

Well, centralisation was a rip roaring success with the police...

Read this a while ago too. I read this at about the same time as Don Felder's "Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles" . Long story short, if you like this book you'll like Felders even more.

Not yet, its on my list!

Bringing back Deal or no Deal was bad enough, but sticking it on primetime with Stephen F. Mulhern as host is horrendous.

Send me your eclairs and I'll send you my fudges and dinky deckers.

Is this report and speech going to make a single voter switch from a No to a Yes?

A bit like @Dons_1988 my wife and I went through a low patch a few years ago. We were just in a rut. Both comfortable in our jobs, both not really seeing any great changes coming in the future. We did discuss separation. In that discussion though we were able to say what we each thought and wanted. We decided to try to make it work. That was about mid 2022. We have, I think. We are better now. I know some folk take the piss out of her visiting her pal but after that first trip, when she was away for a week, everything changed for us. Everything was better. When we first got together I was away every third week with work, that's how we started. When she comes back it is magic. I cannot wait for Tuesday. For me, this Christmas was difficult. I had a bad year last year. She was fantastic, but I also needed her to be away at New Year to get the worst of it out of my system. I don't think I could have done that if she was here.

Listening to her, it sounds as if she and her family have been eating these with the wrappers on for all these years.

"Turn around and say" Heard a discussion on the radio about an imaginary discussion between a player and his club. The gist was the player asking for stuff and each time the imagined response was "The club can turn around and say..."

There are no such thing as vampires. Unless you Count Dracula.

There is another in the article, too.

I loved Boon when I was a kid.
