Fortunately, before all of the nostalgia begins to get in the way of our "real" lives today, some good news from dependable radio land. You can join Mark, Ewan and the legend that was Roughy regularly on Real Radio Scotland http://www.realradio-scotland.co.uk/...hdqj/hdqjfe67/. I doubt that I will ever leave my house again.

The best of that bunch you highlighted was Derek Johnstone - 'any more brains he'd be dangerous' as they say in these parts. He's got a good one quote on this page.

With hosts' hat on I should point out there is a thread over on Platform 3 dedicated to the discussion of football. Here is the link

Who is who? Sugar's Tottenham, isn't he? And here is a class poem:

"Tin Can" by Gwegowy -

'Splish, Splash, Splonk…
Wooden shoes, red socks,
Coffins, tombstones, and tranquilizers.
Aspirins and driving tests, jet planes and skeletons,
Frog singing to egg-timer;
Calendars and candles upside-down
Plastic apples on coconut trees…
Splish, Splash, Splonk.'

.....ok I've been wrestling with these questions all day:

1. Martin Carthy : "Nothing Rhymed" - Good or Bad?
2. Raymond O'Sullivan : Could have been the "British" Randy Newman?
3. Morrissey : "Nothing Rhymed" - Good or Bad?
4. Sagittarius : The oddest of the twelve signs of the zodiac?

Very interesting on "The Day Off". Finding the right actors for it would be essential of course. If I still "did" London, I would be tempted to attend that event on 1 September with G and S.

The answers to the G O'S quiz were 1. Great 2. Yes - it is just a pity that he became the "British" Rupert Holmes 3. Have never heard it and 4. I am really not in the best position to judge.
