I was wondering if in visiting me Mick, and seeing my collection of medals had inspired you!
Inspire me they did Jim, but not to go running, just to come home and clean up my own collection of sporting trophies and medals gained across many sports including Rallying, Table Tennis, Snooker, Golf, Cricket, Tenpin Bowling, Football and Shooting. SWMBO has forbidden me to display more than 5 in the lounge at any one time so I will be on a monthly rotation for the foreseeable future!! :-D

I managed 7 out of 10 missing out on the P, O and C. The numbers are ingrained in me from bus riding days as a youngster!! :-D

That's mean Mick! Maybe you could take a photo of the 5 in the current rotation for us all to admire :wink: :-D

By no means are all of mine on display... Those that are on display are the ones that are especially meaningful for one reason or another...

An unusual day for me today. A not so good 12secs on the 60s but sustained my standard with a 2secs shot on the 80s. A couple more were recognisable but no scores. :-D

Not a single one, almost with the sixties though.
Disappointed with the eighties, one of my preferred singers and have had one of her songs in my head for days.

Heardle snatches victory with late winner
Falcon 3 Heardle 4
60's (12 secs); 80's (8 secs) 90's (2 secs)
Match analysis
Heardle hit a late brace to turn the match around. Falcon floundered as Heardle bounced back and hit the net with a bit of SOCA/R&B, and a bit of house/UK Garage.

From UC last night...Throwaway daily quiz question.
On the buzzer...
The single one-word title of what online game rhymes with words meaning,

a gentle deflecting shot in cricket,
to cause a liquid to separate into soft lumps and
an upright frame over which athletes in a race must jump.
Easy, bet you got in in a micro second, but 10 or more seconds maybe even a minute to come up with the correct word for the gently deflecting shot in cricket I guess...even those who "know the game".

Just got in and caught up with this. Given our daily exercise there could even be 4 correct answers to the question, never mind the clue conundrum but my money would be on Wordle as the answer on the card? :-D As for the cricket, its a term I believe introduced by Brian Johnstone on TMS many moons ago!! It does sound the same as one of our games but is spelt differently!! :-D

Correct in all parts. At the time it was filmed maybe "wordle" was the only game in town :-D I had to look the cricket one up, can't ever remember it being used. I sometimes get drafted in to help with the Quordle which involves getting 4 words at once and is a daily chez falcon exercise but not for me other than getting called in to assist when only one guess remains.

A pathetic day for me I'm afraid! I recognised the 60s and the 80s both in 5 secs but couldn't remember either artist so a complete blank for me!! :(

Falcon demolishes Heardle
Falcon 5 Heardle 2
Original (16 secs) 60's (3 secs); 80's (2 secs) 90's (8 secs) 00's (12 secs)
Match analysis
Couple of half chances for the Falcon hit the back of the net, and heardle had little to offer in reply.
