You absolute bounder sir! Stay away from the Bakerloo line...

Hmm, picture of Terry Thomas could not download properly but you get the drift. Sadly can only slime my way to Euston.

Didn,t we have a lovely time the day we went to Bangor! We had lunch on the way, all for under a pound you know...……


On the way back, we smoked some crack, and drank a gallon of cider...

Samantha has to leave now. Her gentleman friend is taking her on a short break to North Wales. She's hoping he'll take her to Llandudno and Bangor.

I thought they were off to Polynesia. He told me he was going to take her to Fiji and Tonga.

Anyway, it has been lovely to see some of you dressed in blue, with white hats.

Following the snow we've been having this week, Samantha's a little disappointed as she's never experienced less than 9 inches before.

Very sad news to hear that regular "I'm Sorry I Haven't  A Clue" panelist Jeremy Hardy passed away today.

BBC» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page) News - Jeremy Hardy: Comedian and Radio 4 panel star dies aged 57
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-47056671

His wonderfully bad singing in the ISIHAC games "One Song to the Tune of Another", "Pick Up Song" and "Singer and the Song" were comedy gold.

Jeremy was a committed believer in social justice and, away from comedy, campaigned on many issues; from the wrongful imprisonment of the Guildford Four, the plight of Palestinians at the hands of a repressive Israel, refugees, as well as highlighting the plight of the homeless and poverty stricken.

He was wonderfully adept at skewering politicians on "The News Quiz", and poking fun, often very acerbicly, at the monarchy and its sycophants. He didn't hide his republican views. Once ranting about the royal family when asks to talk for a minute about 'parasites' on "Just A Minute". Comments that drew boos from the audience.

My kind of comedian. RIP Jeremy.

I was shocked when I heard the news, as I hadn't realised he had cancer. Very sad.

I thought it was unfortunate that the BBC made more of his singing, which was almost as bad as mine, than his humour in their first memories of him.
