    1. Surely a chance for Phil Lynott.

    2. You would think so. I was lucky enough to have met him back in the day.
      Henri should get his man on tonight too.

  3. Here Norrie!
    What do you think of Cristiano Ronaldo's new range of underwear?
    I hear it's pants.

    1. It's apparent Norrie has no interest in Ronaldo's underwear. He's into large boxers.

    1. I don't know who you're talking about, Adam.

    2. Glen's got some great shouts in on FB. Not a snowball's chance but great choices nonetheless...

    1. He's been asked for a few times and also your pal Joe.

    2. Aye well, we'll see. They should play BB King for his 88th birthday and probably will, since it's so easy to choose from the only song he recorded in his long and illustrious career, the one where U2 help him out.

      Delete
    3. Gaie you know fine well who I'm talking about.
      Here is here on Tom's right.

    He complains when I don't ask for Brad Paisley, but will he play Martin Lancelot Barre? Will he _ Buck Owens?!?

    1. Very good Glen.

      A theme idea here, maybe?
      Listeners send in rhyming slang for artists/bands and/or songs and the presenter and producer have lots of fun trying to figure them out.
      Or has it been done before?

  7. For tonight:

    The Proclaimers
    Erasure
    The Communards

    1. Billy, if you're going for Glen's record of predos you should be aware you only get half a point if you are just naming the band and not the song.

      Delete
    2. It was just an observation not a prediction. I may be pleasantly surprised not to hear these acts(:-)

      Delete
    3. As in golf when declaring a provisional ball you must make it clear when you are making an observation and not a prediction.

      Delete
    4. I've been cheated, I always thought there were four guys in The Blue Nile. I've been missold records, get me Lawyers 4U.

    7. You may want to wait a few hours to check if my crystal ball's working (:-)

    8. What about The Thompson Twins - usually three but up to eight apparently?

      Delete

    2. Glen, don't look to me for tips for the gee gees. Good luck tomorrow, don't lose your shirt.

    3. I only got 4 on my first attempt in 1987.

    4. Did you count half points?

      Delete
    5. Yup, half points for Cream and The Proclaimers. Sorrow sorrow (:-(

  9. Did you see that The Thompson Twins are going to be Nesbit and Nisbet in the Scots version of Tintin? I think that's inspired (:-)

    ReplyDelete
  10. Good effort Billy. In the words of the great Mr Castle - "If you want be the best, if you want to beat the rest, dedication is what you need".

    1. Indeed, maybe one day. The perfect chance for Showaddywaddy tonight?

      Delete
    2. Absolutely. And would be a shoo-in if Chief Sook and Bottle Washer was around to request them. (I'll try. They can only handle so many shouts for the vastly over-rated Polyphonic whatsits and Madness)
      Meanwhile our old chum and rebel Metrosexual Mac seems to have become quite the FB conformist.
      He was even spotted last night at the "We Are The Champions" bar with EZ.

      Delete
    3. Adam, Trocadero requested for my fellow bloggers. Don't hold your breath (:-)

      Delete
    4. I put that in too with a "Sweet Music" back up.
      I think they'll get on but with "Three Steps to Heaven" requested by someone in Dingwall having smokies for their tea.

  11. Without wishing to sound like Kelvin fae the Dale, I'm involved with something called the "Street Child World Cup".

    this is what I'd like Uncle Vic to play tonight. As if.

    My friend thinks JBJ is the sun, moon and stars and probably several planets as well. Are you really a pal?
