Sometimes they mix it up a bit with a chorus of spot the quinie instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best rendition of that I ever heard was when I was on my way to Anfield for the Wales-Scotland World Cup qualifier in 1977. The train stopped at Carstairs Junction, somebody started singing that and the whole train joined in! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 It may be difficult to believe, all things considered, but I've never heard the Spot the Loony song. Any links?Also, why do minor bumps and grazes hurt so much more when you're cold? The heating turned off during the night and I barked my ankle when getting up. Victims of the Inquisition didn't suffer so much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) I'm looking for a Bluetooth music player so I don't have to lug my phone around the gym battering it off of stuff. Extra points if you have one that can have Spotify (or suchlike) on it. Can anyone point me in the direction of something?

The direction of the pub and not the gym! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that all about then? Why do elderly ladies keep getting blue/pink/purple rinses? I was sure that would have died off by now. At what point does somebody think, "well Moira, you've been retired for a few years now, time to dye your hair a very watery pale pastel colour"? Does the hairdresser pull you aside and have a quiet word? Genuinely no idea how this became the thing to do, or why it continues. Now I'm wondering if the current generation of youngsters, used to dying their hair bright vibrant colours, will suddenly decide to tone it down for no good reason when they hit 70. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could fair go a Blue Riband. Don't think I've had one in decades. Oh no. This is how it starts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrooge1928 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 IIRC it was sung to the tune of Son of my Father by Chicory Tip.That song was 48 years ago and the Spot the Loony sketch on Monty Python was about the same. Not many people below bus pass age will remember them, and they don't tend to sing at matches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
