Old women get purple rinses because as you get older your eyesight deteriorates and whites appear yellow. Purple is the complimentary colour to yellow so when they dye their hair purple it appears white to them, not the piss yellow they normally observe in the mirror.
 

So Crystal Tipps thought her hair looked like piss? Another childhood memory shattered..

Chick actually married her thinking it was Brian Connolly of Sweet 

1) Brian Connolly was the half brother of Mark "Taggart" McManus.

2) "Ballroom Blitz" was inspired by a Sweet gig in Kilmarnock.

There's not a lot of people know that.

100% True - they were actually bottled off stage when they played the Grand Hall in (I think) 1973 or so. Dark glasses were in evidence at that week's TOTP appearance to hide the damage.

Interesting fact - although I've heard a few people say they were not a bad live act, they also got booed (rather than bottled) off stage when they played our local Prison Officers' Club in the early nineties.

Looking for somewhere decent near the A1 (travelling northbound) to stop for a Sunday lunch.

Anywhere between Berwick and the Edinburgh city bypass would be ideal.

The Nether Abbey Hotel in North Berwick. The Bar/pub part is called  The Fly Half. I go there a fair bit. Nice place for a Sunday lunch.

If you’d like somewhere with a view over golf course and Firth of Forth/Aberlady Bay, then Craigielaw Golf Club at Aberlady is worth a look. Open to public but might be worth booking a table as it’s pretty busy at weekends. They do a great Sunday carvery.https://www.craigielawgolfclub.com/restaurant/

There's also the Bonnie Badger in Gullane (one of Tom Kitchin's places).

Ciro “L’immortale” Di Marzio turned out to be not that immortal as he got shot and dumped off a yacht into the Bay of Naples (spoiler, sorry). 

I've got Gomorrah lined up to watch at home.

I hope you do have a caffine induced myocardial infarction, you c*nt.

It’s amazing - best thing on tv ever. Starts slow but stick with it. I’m sure with rest and a bandage Ciro will be fine.
