No doubt we will all be singing 'the white cliffs of dover' soon then!!!

Some of us already are !!

[qbman1]

He of "year of the cat"? I didn't know he was from round there as well.

Merv may not know it - even though DJs have to play some terrible tracks, we didn't know all of them. The worst I remember from '76 was some South African guy singing about a family trip to a zoo, and the chorus went on about "pipsi khala, ginger beah an kinida droi" (Pepsi Cola, ginger beer and Canada Dry). I can still hear it now.... And don't get me started on "save your kisses for me" - I had to play that every alternate record on our version of "family favourites", there were so many requests for it.

Yep, Year of the Cat is probably his best-known. He was born in Glasgow but his mother was widowed and they moved to Wimborne in the early fifties

Well, you learn something new every day!

Sorry - if I ever get on Mastermind "The Life and Times of Al Stewart" would be my specialist subject !!

I prefer the Bob Williamson version - Kippers For Tea

For some reason, that reminds me of the Barron Knights and the Grumbleweeds

[qbman1]

Billy Connolly does a good parody too - remember In the Brownies and D-I-V-O-R-C-E ?

[Dark Knight]

My cruise tickets have arrived , along with a very nice upgrade

[qbman1]

Well, that's nice. Hope you have some decent thermals for your trip to 'Arrogate this weekend or you won't be going anywhere - hypothermia can be very nasty !

Nice one DK Lets hope it's not near the engine room

[qbman1]

Near it ? It's in it !!

[towny44]

If I hear one more Prince song today there will be a tantrum !

Oh dear....

While we're having dinner during the Alpha course, they play music in the background.

During our last Alpha course, the week after David Bowie died, they played his music. The week after Glen Frey died, they played Eagles music.. Before that, some other entertainer died and their music was played the following week.

Alpha restarts next week....

Shiney one, are you inferring there is some sort of correlation between your Alpha courses and the regular demise of pop stars?

[Mervyn and Trish]

What, to a different ship?

[Mervyn and Trish]

I'm getting some very good ideas for tracks for tomorrow's programme. Should be a cracker.

And BTW in my BBC time Anita Harris kissed me. She talks about it till this day.

I believe they have found him a cabin with running water, electric light and the drains work

If Al Stewart's in - I'll be listening

Has Anita's injunction expired yet ?

He won't know what to do with all that luxury. Though come to think of it Titanic had cabins with running water.

[qbman1]

....and lashings of ice on tap

[Stephen]

......and a rather oversized port hole going down the side

[qbman1]

Still sounds better than the CMV dredger

[qbman1]

Come off it, the one I saw in St Mary's last summer wasn't that smart !

[Mervyn and Trish]

They've resprayed it

[qbman1]

Looks like they haven't chosen a new pope yet, though

I hadn't looked at it that way... hmm, interesting. Anyone you want ushering off this mortal coil?

[qbman1]

You thinking of setting up as a ht man now your scanning days are over ?

[Silver_Shiney]

With my hips? Wouldn't be able to run away quick enough.

[qbman1]

You don't need to run, just blend into the crowd. I know that's right 'cos I have seen Day of the Jackal !!
