So the Tom Hark button was left untouched at the Keepmoat last night. Actually, the Tom Hark button wasn't even there, we'd forget the cd. Thankfully we had on the bench double click Tom Hark but he remained an unused sub. It was a woeful Rovers performance but I cant really dissect it cos we got bored and played the crisp game in the media box. Take it in turns to name crisps. I was flying with French Fries, Skips and Chipsticks but soon had to defer to others with a greater crisp knowledge than I could ever imagine. I fared better in the name a celebrity who's been seen in homemade porn. I nailed that one to coin a phrase. Followed was war aircraft, brand names that have become synonymous with the product, celebrities who's first and last names begin with the same letter and surnames that are also professions. Rob won that with William Blogger.

Oh and the Molly Malone embarrassment wasn't our idea!

THE BIGGER ALL IMPORTANT SHOW FACT OF THE DAY

Told you there'd be more. When the first Billboard 100 was published in 1957 radio stations in America insisted songs were all 2 minutes 58 seconds long. After complaints from musicians unions they agreed to play non 2:58 songs but if it was a shorter song there would be the appropriate amount of dead air to make up the alloted time, a longer song was cut off at 2 minutes 58. It wasn't until Colonel Tom Parker invented the fade out in 1961 that musicians got more free reign on song length. Hank Marvin blew it all apart a year later with the invention of the fade in.


Common sense prevails shock!! Not only have America not voted for World War Three but DMBC have a vacuum cleaner. Two chaps in Elmfield Park with van and massive vacuum sucking up leaves. It's huge. A product of the tortured mind of James Dyson, reeling after his first commercial flop, the self cleaning skirting board. I fully expect him to suck up some small island group, maybe the Faroes, with this device while he sits in his lair in Cromer threatening world domination. It'll be ok though. Daniel Craig in blue trunks will save us with a Henry and a modified Parker pen. Er, bit of a tangent there. The upshot is no leaves in Elmfield Park. Personally I wished they'd left them alone right from the start. Autumn's job is to look pretty and let us kick leaves about.

Sign on a gravestone in Hyde Park cemetery: Danger Of Death. Bit late surely?

Vaccines tickets have arrived just in time for the last of the KitKats.

And that was all he wrote.
