BAMBER GASCOIN

He probably would be if you could have the courtesy to spell his name correctly.

Same as Paul I thought, GASCOIN ,that does for me ,Dont know why people put stupid letters ..

I mean what sort of Tw@t decided to add a G and an E , Absolutely no need for it imo .

Some even put a Y in , WHY ,Just confusing matters IMO

Para bailar El Bamber se necessita una poca de gracia imo.

Gascoigne was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2018 Birthday Honours for services to the Arts.

The little river Gascoigne rises near the hamlet of Milborne Wick, wriggles through the ancient "rotten borough" of Milborne Port, and completes its course of around five miles by spilling into the Yeo just before that river spreads out into a handsome ornamental lake below Sherborne Castle. At Milborne Port, a bend in the Gascoigne used to be the home of that notable company of ducks that stopped the traffic twice a day by waddling slowly up the length of South Street to be fed. This spring, the river has been the focus of nature-watch in at least two gardens. In one, on a curve of the river, a single water-rail, normally a highly secretive bird ("much more often heard than seen", the book says, and looking like a moorhen with particularly long legs) openly made its winter home, and fed with the familiar garden birds.

Downstream, in a secluded garden enclosed by fences, where a few years ago a family of hedgehogs was reared in a compost heap, a mating pair of mallards was seen flying in repeatedly this Spring. Then, in June, a visiting black Labrador called Bertie, trained to the gun, wandered into a shady corner under a willow, and created a sudden commotion in a flower-bed. The female of the pair flew up and revealed a clutch of 10 eggs in a nest buried amongst the hardy geraniums and "lady's mantle". She seems to be untroubled by friendly human interest, and leaves the nest briefly morning and evening to fly off - presumably to the water, which is some 30 yards away. The eggs are safe so far, and should hatch before long, but ducklings here are vulnerable to rats, and it is not clear how this brood will get past the barrier of fences to the river.

early pointless

He would often research the answers to  questions so as to appear very knowledgeable

I would imagine a few on here Like that Dan ,Google a very good tool

My cousin saw  Bamber Gascoigne many years ago when he was dating the actress Doris Hare, they were dining at The Ivy in London,
He said she was a bit older than him and you wouldn't put them together as a couple. just goes to show

Wasn't he something to do with Glyndebourne or some such toff thing?

Anyway, I still can't listen to the introduction to University Challenge without half expecting  the announcer to day with Bamber Gascoin.

* say....with Bamber Gascoin'
