Blimey, I didn't even know there were 50 weather girls!

I assume, Ross, that your list was based purely on their ability to accurately predict the weather? :-)

Does everyone in St Albans live in wardrobes and talk to lions.

Anyone remember Wincy Willis or the 'F' in fog!

Blimey, I can remember Wincey Willis - she was on ITV or C4 breakfast TV, wasn't she? I did watch that for a while back in the 1980s. I don't have time these days though.

[I'm doing a support spot with Alan tonight and I'll be singing my new traditional song about a young fiddler who discovers an old traditional song he heard in his youth in a pub. No time to learn the words though, even though I wrote them :-) ]

I used to like Live TV

They used to have the weather in Swedish and then they had a dwarf pointing ro a weather map bouncing on a trampoline

Also topless darts and Tiffany's big city tips where she used to read out the financail news whilst removing her blouse

What a cahnnel - I wonder why it flopped

The British public are so fical

Wincey Willis - don't remember, but then I spent most of the 80's in Swaziland which was not disimilar to Narnia

Good luck tonight Scrump - everyone at Barton will be rooting for ya

Well I never did is that the kind of tele you have down south. Is it digital or cable.

I suppose thats because they too have lions in Swaziland and they talk to them - "please Mr Lion, don't eat me"

Were you measuring bricks there. Were they made of poo (cant spell dung) and mud.

* the well-known typing error

...I'll get me coat.

The Queen Mother in Swaziland was called the Great She Elephant

I think the King was something to do with a lion - he had to kill a lion as part of his coronation - I went to his coronation garden party - I drank while Africa burned - ha ha he he

The Africaans used to make their floor screed with cow poo & mud - you can get a really creamy pliable building material from natures finest (and it doesn't smell)

What's blue and slips down the table - Chelsea

Hello to any stray weekenders.

Two thirds of Folkaholics were better than none. Very good in fact.

An exciting night at The Cricketers.
Q. When is a mobile phone allowed to ring during a folk session?
A. To allow up-to-the-minute breaking news of the actions of bomb disposal units in the surrounding locality.(as long as the singing carries on - bit like Carry On up the Khyber really - as Redbourn fell to the rebels on the common, strains of 'where have all the flowers gone' floated harmoniously through the eerie silence).

To Hitchin John: I have finally got it! The G to Em bar. You keep to G until the last 3 quavers and make them F#! I was too quick to change chord. So simple once you've done it. Many thanks indeed.
