WD ALL

Thank you squares, good stuff.

wd everyone and thanks squares, great fun as always, and now to replenish the brain cells somehow...!

To take a break from films, I'm halfway thru a bands/singers list, and another one on a rather different topic (won't say what it is yet, in case there are too many groans! But it'll just be a one-off and we'll see how it goes, just for a novel change of direction). Maybe put one up on Friday lunchtime.

Thanks squares.

Cheers squares and wd all.

they are just playing this now on radio 5 live

I`ve got a Golden Oldies Song Titles one lined up; maybe Saturday? Sunday?

Great!

Sounds good Tim. I'll stick one up on Friday (midday) and then Sat for yours?

Ok

I can do Sunday if everyone's not had enough by then

Sounds good squares, that's the schedule then! On Friday it won't be anything music/films/tv related, just trying something different. Hopefully it won't go down too badly, but the bright side of that is, it'll just be a one-off! :)   (will post it at 12:00 Friday).

squares; Gormley quiz and poker being arranged

May I request a little later start on Friday please of 13.00 hfink. Hopefully be done by then. Intrigued what the new 'format' is gonna be. Not a worry if no can do.  Cheers.

No problem HGS, 13:00 it is . Not really a new format as such, just a different subject. Though I will no longer be indicating puns/homophones, as I used to with the filum clues. I've bought into the norm of leaving them unindicated, as it does seem to be more 'fun' (or should that be 'painful'!) that way.

Ho hfink. Did  get back in time for this but have to go out unexpectedly. Many apologies. Will have a look later to see  what went on. Cheers.

That's okay HGS. I promise you won't miss anything particularly 'exciting'
Put them up at 13:00.
