Poorish performance on Only Connect got 1, very nearly 2 of the 12 first and second round connections. Two really good teams who leapt in too quickly to give pondering time for a rusty Falcon.

Was pretty much up to speed on University Challenge, excellent contest in which Durham just pipped Bristol after trailing. It was refreshing to know that the cream of British Universities are still as clueless on UK Geography as ever. Complete botch of the National Park bonus questions.

Same here Mick.
If I heard any of them I would have turned them off so would have no chance of recognising them.

80's...Closest I got was Bonnie Tyler who I knew it wasn't never heard the song
90's...The worst record ever with that title

Original: No chance
60's: Fail.
70's: Fail.
80's: Fail
90's: Fail.
00's: Fail.
Alternative 00's: Fail.

A good score, seeing as they were mainly awful.

Over at the Pickled Egg Jukebox here ----> viewtopic.php?p=728344#p728344 you should find Peter Gabriel and Solsbury Hill playing. The bald bloke in the band is playing a guitar-like instrument. What's his name and what's the instrument ?

Tony Levin and a Chapman Stick.

Peter's daughter on the thing that doesn't know if it is a keyboard or a guitar.
That probably has a name too.

That, rather uninspiringly, is known as a Keytar. You would have thought someone would have come up with a better name than that :lol:

I always see lots of accolades for Tony Levine.
As with drums, I don't get bass and largely ignore or don't hear it.
The Chapman Stick I saw in a live performance of one of the Tubular Bells concerts, played by an Australian girl, and was intrigued.
