Sad news -
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-50948921
It has just reminded me how much I enjoyed the quirky 'Innes Book of Records' programme - I wonder of Youtube can furnish any episodes ?

I loved the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band...

Which reminds me, Viv Stanshall & Sir Henry Rawlinson of Rawlinson's End... (and Scrotum, his wrinkled old retainer)

Occasionally play the Rutles album. Each time I’m amazed how well he captured the atmosphere of the Fab Four.
The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.

Ambling and babies....snigger

Priceless! I really am going to have to spend an afternoon glued to youTube.
Here's a thing though, and I might be wrong.... why can't we in the UK download youTube videos where as elsewhere in the world, people can?

Is that true ? Hmmm... quite a limitation. Would be nice to save stuff for posterity.
Maybe some of the more IT-savvy members can comment.

Course you're going to tell me what YTD is aren't you!

Bedford is rather dull but its live music scene is growing - this is good.

Whenever an honest man discovers that he's mistaken, he will either cease to be mistaken or he will cease to be honest.
