Thank you

For keeping the blog chat going.

I am sure teh chat has been as interesting at least as the themes!

Any scandal whilst I have been away?

What are the themes this week?

81 comments:

  1. Welcome back Norrie.

    Tonight it's childhood TV themes then it goes downhill.

    1. Thansk Billy. Themes not particularly inspiring. Still I remember a childhood of tattie holidays long summers and skint knees. But not so many theme songs.

  2. I have just been accused by Ronnie McGowan of having a poor work ethic as a child. This is obviously where my life started to go wrong.

    2. Yes Mr Git several times and on the same day. However golfing at Port Glasgow yesterday was not such a pleasant experience and I returned my worst card in several years. I do not know how Gaie can live in this area and maintain such a cheery disposition.

      Delete
    3. Port Glasgow was a mistake, you should have gone to Whinhill, one of the many jewels in Inverclyde's crown.

      Delete
  4. Joe Bonamassa passed this on to me, I thought you might enjoy it, Mr Git?

    1. Play that dead band's song. I glanced at the above and thought Joe Bonamassa had passed away for a minute. Johnny Gustafson who turned down the Beatles and ended up in Roxy Music has joined the supergroup in heaven.

    2. Freebird wis fab! Thanks, Gaie!

      Nae wunner Artimus took his shirt aff...

      Delete
    3. Certainly Freebird would've tore the shirt aff you (as we say in cheery Inverclyde)

  5. Poor showing for tonight's theme on t'other side. I guess many here and there are partnerless so an odd choice of theme. (Fully expect The L E to have something to say on this later).

    I think some are inventing too. Have to be. (You know who I mean).

    1. I get the impression that many correspondents are in prison where the wrong choice of music could be fatal.

      Delete
    2. The Liquid Entertainer's choice of song for the ex certainly worries me.

  6. Going off to Chile for a few day to see this.

    1. Thanks Billy, though its more fact finding than pleasure. Still, havent seen the Andes before.

    2. They have built a replica next to the M8 at Deans, Livingston.

      Deans is an anagram of Andes


      ....cue X-Files music...........

  7. Well done Henri. Medicine Jar at last.

  8. Just looked at the playlist. What is the point of wasting half the show playing songs heard a million times before?

    This is what you do, novice producers, you simply announce that you'll now play a less well-known song by Adele, whose Chasing Pavements you will most certainly know. Then instead of wasting time you get on with playing another hidden gem and everyone's life is enriched rather than stultified.

    Any more advice needed, radio Scotland, you only need to ask.

    ReplyDelete

    1. Agreed!

      "Chasing Pavements" is on my 'life is too short to listen to this crap' list. (It's a long list). I didn't even know that Adele was responsible until Oor Bryan said so.

      Delete
    2. Adele can sing which puts her in a minority on this show.

  9. That's Alvin away. How many have had two bites at the cherry?

  11. Oh my goodness, Jack Bruce gone now.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Not played enough despite being championed by Henri. At least we had the Cream reunion and his name lives on (appropriately) in the social space of the RSAMD/Conservatoire.

      Do any of you clever people know why the (random use) of parenthesis eg in The Herald had started?

    5. Jimmy Saville used to dock you points if you didnt say "open bracket, close bracket" when guessing the titles on the Double Top Ten Show.
      I'm sure Bryan will make reference to that tonight.
