As reported last week, our machine tester Andy Fyles has just become a dad. He is on paternity leave at the moment but popped in today to introduce us to little Bethany who proved to be a huge success on her Instanta debut. Marion and Sue now have another little person to make gooey sounds to and it did not escape our notice that Lauren looks to be a natural too.
Bloody tennis! Pah. That meant missing "Songs of Praise" but we have managed to get hold of a copy for you.
And it also meant missing my favourite "Last of the Summer Wine" where the sun always shines but sadly where the plot seems now to be lost. Well not exactly lost it's just the same plot gets repeated every week. Will Howard and Marina's passion be forever thwarted? I have to say though that the two coppers Ken Kitson and Louis Emerick are absolutely brilliant and I hear that Louis makes a great pasta too.
Seems that Friday's competition was a bit too hard. Well I thought that a combination of a hard competition and a two hour time frame might just about save us giving ABC Direct another £20. There were plenty of clues. I started by saying that we might have to send some goods by sea. We then showed the magnificent Pogues playing "Bottle of Smoke" and I said that I might fall from grace with God after that. "Bottle of Smoke" comes from the Pogues album " If I should fall from grace with God". Another track on the album is "Thousands are Sailing". Instanta has a range called the thousand series. So there you go.
Come back tomorrow for another competition
No betting now for a few weeks due to holidays coming up (although will drop in to Betfair this week just to see how the Big Brother odds are moving). Put quite a lot on the tennis being completed on Sunday but as the night started to draw in I chickened out and won a princely 70p (better than losing a princely £200).
