A married couple were having difficulties with their relationship so they went to see a marriage guidance counsellor.


"we never talk" sobbed the wife ...


... the counsellor said "hang on, I know exactly what to do". then he ran out of the room.

When he returned he was carrying a double bass, upon which he proceeded to play a solo ...

I have just been looking over that game of Mornington crescent and was shocked to note that even though it was made clear early on that stephen fry was "chairing", there was no "cross" refernce made to this when sugarfoot trumped with such bombast.

Therefore I must post.houmous.ly (as I have just had a greek salad) issue a Chairing Cross block!

Which I'm afraid leaves us high and dry on the embankment.

tsk ...

all that work for nothing!!!

The teams will now play a round of Uxbridge Dictionary of Music.

As new forms of music arise, it brings with it new terms and new definitions. Take the word 'folk'. This word alone has two entire volumes defining what 'folk' is. The teams will, in turn inform us of other new words that have recently entered the music vancular, and their meanings....
