Thursday 30th November

DP - Raymond Illingworth and Ashley Metcalfe are obviously the two 'other' Test cricketers you were looking for.

If in the next 24 hours no-one has answered the Graham Roope question all will be revealed.   Clue:   Like me, this left handed batsman has opened the innings for his country.   Unlike me, he has scored lots of runs.

Are the Aussies aware of the tv programme I'm a Celebrity, Get Me out of Here! which is about to reach it's climax down under in the next couple of days?   Jason Donovan is still in the jungle camp and has to be one of the favourites to win.   My money is on Myleene.

The two Geordie boys who present the show, Ant and Dec are lush and very funny.

OK you have sussed me out.   Yes I am just filling in time before this evening's entertainment begins from Adelaide (00.30 GMT).

Wednesday 29th November

Having said that I would not mention cricket until Friday(ish) please indulge me in the following.

Graham Roope, ex Surrey and England batsman, sadly died at the weekend at the relatively young age of 60.   I shall remember Graham Roope forever as he was the non striking batsman at Headingley in 1977 when Sir Geoffrey Boycott scored his hundredth career hundred.    That it was in a Test Match against the Australians with an opening bowling attack of Lillee and Thompson made it even more memorable.   Being in the crowd that sunny day on the Western Terrace (not so wild in those days) was definitely the sporting highlight of my pre transplant life.

Reading Graham Roope's obituary in the newspaper I came across something unusual and wonder if anyone knows the answer.   In that same cricket season of 1977, Roope was again the non striking batsman when another player scored his hundredth career hundred.   Who was that player?

My apologies if I have asked this question before, but it is good you would have to admit.  

Incidentally, my basin is still cracked and am still waiting for Dougie the plumber to call.

Tuesday 28th November

Second post:   I wouldn't normally prattle on about my hospital visit in the blog as I cover the minutiae in My Red Book section of the site.   However be prepared to be prattled.

My weight was good at 71 Kg, or a kipper's eyelash over 11 stones in English / Irish.   Temperature was OK at 35.8°C, or 97°F near enough.   It was my blood pressure that was a bit OTT.   At 8am it was 147 /100 which can sometimes be the case after driving to hospital then giving blood samples and generally running around.    So it had to be checked again later in consultation with my cardiologist.

My turn came at 11am and I was feeling perfectly normal, relaxed and not agitated at all.   140 /100 was the reading.   Oh dear!   

My blood pressure tablet, lisinopril has been increased from 5mg to 10mg as a result and we await developments.   I used to take 10mg but a side effect of this dosage was dizziness.   If Vic is reading this I hope he realises he will have to pick the ball out of the hole for me when we play golf tomorrow, assuming it ever drops into the far too small orifice in the first place.

Not one mention about cricket.   Hey Anita, what is an RSL?

Gone to hospital for a 'review' before the milkman has made his delivery.

Monday 27th November

Second post:  I was tucked up in bed by 1.45am following the denouement of the cricket.   What a shambles.   I still reckon Monty Panesar, our best spinner and Chris Read, our best wicket keeper should have played even though they would not have affected the outcome as a result of Steve Harmison firing blanks.

The Adelaide Oval is the venue for the next Test starting Friday and as we all know the last English team to play there (GBTCC) against the Aussies (ATCC) were denied victory only by strange captaincy decisions.  

With a bit luck Freddie Flintoff will not bowl uninterrupted from the city end all day every day before going in and trying to slog the bowlers for six at every opportunity and we can claim a victory.   He did try it this English summer though, remember?     Unless the big Geordie fast bowler can find a rhythm and land it on the cut strip our chances will be slim.

It was strange looking at the pictures sent to me by my big sis from BC, Canada.   She and her nutty mates were to be seen entering a fast flowing river in white out conditions and yet here I am am watching English bowlers toil in the heat of Oz.   Whoops sorry, I mentioned cricket again.   Great pics sis.   Would the Aussies like to see what snow looks like?   I can publish one for you tomorrow.

Early post:   It is my intention to stay up again until 2am (lunch time in Oz) and watch some cricket.   Without sounding too pessimistic, I reckon it could be all over before then.

Sunday 26th November

Having returned from the psychiatrist's couch followed by a debrief by the man from Bude I shall be updating The TOGS league table without the aid of a safety net.   Once this mission has been accomplished I shall seek counselling later this afternoon before sending off my application form to the 'Earth is Flat Club'.

it is often said that the camel came into being as a result of a committee meeting to create the perfect horse.   The duck billed platypus and the TOGS scoring system were the second and third projects of the same committee.

(nearly) Saturday 25th November

It is now.....

Playing golf today I was privileged to be playing alongside Doug Walker, who will not mind me saying is 70 years old.    The par three third hole into a breeze is never easy but Doug needed only one shot today.   His shot with a utility club sailed arrow like pinwards but was obscured from our vision by a tree.   We arrived at the verdant virgin putting surface and checked the hole (as you do).   There it was, snuggled in the cup waiting for it's master.

Fanatstic shot Doug.   It is Doug's third hole in one and was the first that I had witnessed.   Great stuff.

Cricket?    What cricket!

Friday 24th November

Yes, I did stay up until 2am again and things did not improve any.   I am worried that if slogger Pieterson can spin the ball so much what will happen when Shane Warne comes on to bowl?

A terrible injustice has occurred in Brisbane at The Gabba.   Here's me thinking the Aussies were good sports and all that and what happens?   The heavy handed Queensland constabulary have ejected the one Englishman who is performing to his full potential.

I refer of course to Bill Cooper, an accomplished musician who follows the England cricket (and football) team and provides witty accompaniments to the play on his trumpet.   The long arm of the law take a different view in Brisbane and have served Bill with a 'Notice to Move on Direction for bad behaviour'.

These over fussy plods need to get a life.   Have they not noticed a load of drunks, English and Australian, in other parts of the ground singing inane ditties hour after hour?     At least the trumpet player has got talent.

I reckon it is an Aussie ploy to inflict more Jimmy Little music on us.

If someone can run it by me why Monty isn't playing here because he is not the world's greatest batsman I would appreciate it.   Remember the great Bishen Bedi in his patka bowling for India or come to think of it Glen McGrath for Australia in this Test.  

If the top order cannot muster enough runs to justify the selection of England's best left arm spinner since Derek Underwood coming in to bat at number 11, change the batsmen.   

Question (hypothetical of course) - If Monty was an Australian would he have played?

Good question - Which ex  newsreader's dad gave his name to a cricketing delivery?  

(Nearly) Thursday 23rd November

It is now :

I managed to stay awake until lunch (2am UK) before departing for my pit fearing the worst.   Speaking of worst.   Have you ever seen a worse delivery in Test match cricket by an opening bowler?  

Big Geordie Steve Harmison must do better than this or we will be wiped out in The Ashes.   346 for 4 after the first day's play is the harbinger of doom.  

We have the next Test at The Adelaide Oval to look forward to and the last GB team to play there came away with a 'winning draw' having spurned victory  by poor captaincy.

There are 30 minutes to go before The Ashes series gets under way, starting at The Gabba, Brisbane and Australia have won the toss and are about to go in to bat.

Oh dear.......!     If Steve Harmison cannot rip a couple out before the lunch break I fear the worst.   I understand that Ashley Giles is playing and Monty Panesar is not..........oh dear, oh dear!!

Giles is good, but Monty is the future and I reckon we are sending out the wrong signal before a ball is bowled.

I would like to say England will win the match and the series.

As I said, I would like to say England will win the match and the series.

If England can keep the Aussies to under 300 and take 5 or 6 wickets that would be a good day.

I would like to say England will win the match and the series.   Come on the big Geordie fast bowler.

Wednesday 22nd November

Before I leave for a game of golf, can anyone remember this day in 1963?   I can.   It was the day that President John F Kennedy was assassinated.   Without looking it up on the internet or checking a diary, here is my question.......What day of the week was it?

Here is a 'clue' - I was returning home from cubs that day and a bus driver told me the news.

I shall be back later and probably mention a game that begins in 15 hours or so.

Tuesday 21st November

Corned beef and tatie pie in darkest British Columbia reminds me of the day the Aussies came to Percy Main this summer and had their supper in the cricket club watching the World Cup Final .   They feasted on pie and mushy peas.  

I reckon a drop of albatross pie in the morning would make anyone wake up in a cold sweat.   Go back to the cornflakes Anita.

Just a day to go before I become a creature of the night.   The cricket is live at midnight tomorrow form the Gabba and there is every possibility, if the Aussies bat first, that I will stay up all through the night watching the big Geordie from Ashington make the Aussies duck and dive.  

Do young females in Ireland watch cricket in the early hours, I wonder?   Do exiled Geordies in Canada watch cricket, I wonder?    If not, my blog will have to contain stuff other than leather on willow talk these next few weeks.

 Monday 20th November

Before I leave for a meeting of the Freeman Heart & Lung Transplant Association I thought I should pose this difficult Ashes cricket question that i have just read in my morning newspaper.

Q:   There have been only 8 hat tricks in  Ashes history.   5 were taken at the MCG, 2 at the SCG.    Where, when and by whom was the only hat trick taken in England?

My apologies to big sis and Rosie and anyone else who might not even know what  the SCG is.

Sunday 19th November

Feet up, slippers on and newspapers to devour.  

The build up for The Ashes has started big time and it all gets under way later this week.   I will be up into the small hours watching the first critical session(s) live.   If England bowl and Steve Harmison is fully fit I hope the Aussies can back up all of the talk.   If the big Geordie fast bowler is not quite right, I fear the worst.

Saturday 18th November

I was thinking of going pot-holing today but could not find my tin hat with the torch on top, so have decided to play golf with The TOGS instead.

Friday 17th November

The Rt Hon Tony Blair MP, The Prime Minister provided the tea and biscuits  for Christine and I at his home in Sedgefield this morning.   Oh, and he gave me a cheque for £20,000 as well.

We arrived at Mr Blair's house at around 8am this morning and were given the once over by the armed police guarding the Prime Minister's constituency home.   We were taken into the house with the official photographer and the Government's news network man some twenty minutes later and chatted waiting for the PM to come.

At exactly 8.30am Mr Blair breezed in with a smile on his face and as I was sitting drinking a cuppa he shook hands with the two officials first then turned to me.   "Good morning Graham" he said, "Good morning Tony, may I introduce you to Mrs Boggy".

Just kidding, I introduced my nearest and dearest as Christine.   And yes, I did call him Tony.  

I told him how I already felt as if I knew him and he said he felt the same with me.    We chatted and joked quite naturally for ten minutes or so before he presented me with the cheque for £20,000 which we had won between us on the Virgin Radio Breakfast  Show.

I had told him about the World Transplant Games, my golf and of course the David Hookes Memorial cricket series we play against The Aussies.   He was genuinely interested.  I also explained to him how I was going to divide the money between the FHLTA and Tyne Youth & Community Centre once I had taken out £3,000 to cover my costs for transplant sports in 2007.    Each charity will receive £8,500 each.   The PM said that was good news for both and was pleased to have helped.

He asked Christine if she travelled with me to the various sports and asked how long we would be in Bangkok.   I looked at the cheque and said to Mrs Boggy, "How long have you got dear"?

We posed for the official photographs and chatted some more before he  was whisked away for a speech he was giving to a bunch of business men at Hardwick Hall, not too far away.

The Premier's house had the feel of an upmarket independent country hotel and is where he entertained George W Bush a few year's back as well as many other dignitaries and VIP's.  

You could say, "I was just happy to there"!

Politics aside, It was very sporting of Mr Blair to have taken part in the competition and I am grateful that he did.    He certainly didn't have to.   As we say in Geordieland, He is a canny bloke.

I had been told not to publicise the meeting in advance because of security issues which explains my cloak and dagger blogs these past ten days or so.   Full marks to Inspector Fitzgerald in Ireland for working it out.

For those of you who may want to listen to a bit more of my interviews with Tony Blair, I have found this link which should help.   The Sun online.
I did not wish the PM good luck at the next General Election as per the article.   What I said was, "I wish you good luck whatever happens".

Very early post:

GM meets ?? at 8.30am.   Come back later and all will be revealed.

Now then, where did I put the shoe polish?

Thursday 16th November

Due to circumstances beyond my control I shall not be attending my Healthy Hearts session at the gym tomorrow morning.   Not wanting to miss out on another workout I have even turned down a game of golf with my strange French speaking  acquaintance and will go this morning instead.

The reason for this weird behaviour will be revealed tomorrow.

Early post:

Watching the England cricketers arrive at Adelaide airport before they play their final warm up match against South Australia at the Adelaide Oval brings back some fantastic memories for me from the GBTCC trip down under in 2004.  

Marsh              caught Rose      bowled Wulff       5.........for example.

I thought I had scored 9, DP reckoned it was 2, so having checked the scorecard it turns out I only amassed 5 runs.

Wednesday 15th November

Second post:

Late last night I was interviewed live on W Radio in Colombia, which is owned by Prisa Media of Spain.   The station is broadcast as Hispanic Radio Network, Diaro El Pais, Canal Plus, CNN Spain and XEW Mexico which I am assured by the producers has a total audience of 200 million listeners.

They got wind of the story with Tony, sorry, the Prime Minister and wanted to speak to me about the experience.   I could hear the broadcast down the telephone line in Spanish and some other language before a translator  put the question to me in English and replied on my behalf.  

The translator wanted to know what part of Scotland I was from as he could detect an accent.   Poor bloke wasn't prepared for me I guess.   Anyway, the whole piece lasted about 15 minutes and I am awaiting news of a world tour to South America.  Ho Ho.

Boggy the Bookie is giving odds of 1/2 on an Australian victory in the forthcoming Ashes series, no better than 4/1 on England retaining the urn and 3/1 on the series ending in a draw.

Hot of the press in England is that Ed Joyce is to replace the unfortunate Marcus Trescothick and that Alistair Cooke will open with Andrew Strauss.  If I was an England selector my choice would have been Mark Ramprakash who averaged over 100 in the English season just ended.   Then again, what do I know.   I fear the worst but will be hoping for the best.

Playing golf soon if the weather holds then I will be back with how I broadcast to 200,000,000 people last night live on radio.......honestly!

Tuesday 14th November

Having spent the early part of the day reading the obituary column about a horse I noticed that the next great white equine hope is none other than Detroit City.  

This is the magnificent beast that I brought to your attention two years ago before it had won a race.   Acting on information received from the inside track my fellow TOGS and I wagered a tidy sum from our collective purses only for the stupid steed to have a bit of a 'mare'.     In fairness, since that abysmal failure, Detroit City is unbeaten and kept winning last season at odds of 7/2.   I fear we may not see those odds again but it was fun whilst it lasted.

Monday 13th November

Jeff's question has slipped down on to the next page of my Guest Book so I had better provide the answer or else folk will be wondering what I am blogging on about.

Under Milkwood by Dylan Thomas and narrated by Richard Burton is the answer Jeff was seeking.   My reference to 'buggerall' the other day was not me using profanities but....why don't you look it up for yourself dear reader.

A bit later - I tried entering 'buggerall' into Google and it came up as a profanity.   Try putting it in backwards and see what happens.

Where were all of my Welsh readers when I needed them?

Sunday 12th November

Most of my UK readers will be devouring the Sunday newspapers,  out and about queuing to buy flat pack furniture from the big blue and yellow tin box from Sweden or waiting to be seen in their local casualty department after attempting DYI (I can't even get that right) and whacking their thumb with a hammer.

Quick question - What was the name of the rabbit in The Magic Roundabout?  

Tonight Mrs Boggy and I shall be attending a performance by the excellent 'Sing Live' choir at The Sage on the banks of the Tyne, Gateshead.    Possibly not as grand as the Sydney Opera House but glorious nonetheless.   Take a look at the magnificent Millennium Bridge too if you use the above link.  

Saturday 11th November

The wind is blowing at around 50 - 60 mph here in Costa del Tynemouth but it won't prevent me teeing off in a winter medal with my fellow TOGS.

Friday 10th November

Remember the Procul Harum song, Whiter Shade of Pale?    I imagine most of my readers, except Rosie (too young), could quote some of the lyrics without thinking.  

It seems that Matthew Fisher, the organist on the single that sold over 10,000,000 copies, is demanding a share of  the royalties, claiming he substantially rewrote the melody from the original Bach ditty.

Whether he is right or wrong is not the reason for me telling you this.   It gives me the opportunity to ask a pop music question, which is:

In 1977 Whiter Shade of Pale was named as the best pop single of the last 25 years at the British Rock and Pop Awards.   It shared the honour with which other record?  

Thursday 9th November

This morning's post arrived with a CD from Virgin Radio with all the bits of my chat with PM Tony Blair.

It contains the original message to the station by The Prime Minister on my behalf, me chatting with DJ Christian O'Connell live on the Breakfast Show and then the unbelievable part where The PM calls the station live and Christian, him and I chatting.  

There is more.....

It also has the result as it happened and another chat with me speaking to Christian again.   This is all topped off with a compilation of some of the celebs who called in over the three weeks.   Finally, there is a short interview with my mate Tony which was played on all of Virgin's news bulletins where he thanked everyone and congratulated me.

How neat is that?

If any of you would like a copy of the CD I will gladly copy and send it to you, no matter where in the world you may be.   If you are a fellow transplant recipient and would like to use it in any fundraising or awareness campaigns that you may be involved with, feel free.

Obviously I will need your full postal address so drop me an Email.   Go to my Information / contact page if you need it.

Wednesday 8th November

The Emails, messages and hits keep piling in which is good.   All being well and if the weather is good in the morning I am going to get some fresh air and have a game of golf with the boys at Tynemouth.

In the evening I have the AGM of Tyne Youth & Community Centre.   Did you know I was chairman?   I guess you do now.   It will be my duty to have to inform those gathered that I will soon have a cheque for £8,500 to give them.

"I will be just happy to be there"!

Today is also  very important to me because Eric Clapton's latest album is released and on sale.   I received an Email from old Slowhand himself along with thousands of other dedicated fans worldwide.  

It is a collaboration with JJ Cale and the title is "The Road to Escondido".   You read it here first.

Tuesday 7th November

Speaking at The Daily Mirror Award's last night Mr Blair, The PM, exclusively told Virgin Radio news that he thought "The public had voted for Graham......".   Thanks Tony.

If you haven't heard any of this stuff and still think Virgin is just an airline or a brand of mobile phone, use the link above and visit DJ Christian O'Connell's page.   The list of 153 celebrities who called his show are posted on the site and you can listen to their message(s).

Go to the picture of Premier Tony Blair and you can hear some of our chat.

There is also a podcast of the highlights which is available for download (whatever that means).   If you know your mouse from your ashtray it should be simple.

Virgin Radio have also posted links to the websites of No 10 Downing St, The Organ Donor Card register, The World Transplant Games, and my two nominated charities which are Tyne Youth & Community Centre and the Freeman Heart & Lung Transplant Association as well as this website you are currently reading.   Thanks for that Roque (he is the producer)

Monday 6th November

Last post:

Unbelievable day!   It is 9.20 in the evening and I am closing down my computer  so that I can have a rest.   I have tried to reply to all who have sent personal messages, if I missed you please accept my apologies.   Since 8.30am my site has received 2335 hits and it is definitely starting to creak.

Thank you for voting for me and Tony Blair - The Prime Minister

on today's Who's calling Christian Show on

Virgin Radio

This is not in any way political
 The Prime Minister is supporting me and my two nominated charities:

Tyne Youth & Community Centre

The Freeman Heart & Lung Transplant Association

After I take out my estimated costs for next year's transplant sports events which include, among others, The World Transplant Games in Bangkok, Thailand, I will donate my winnings  equally between my two chosen charities.

The Prime Minister, or should I just call him Tony? has kindly pledged his £10,000 for calling Christian O'Connell to my charities too.  

Check out 10 Downing Street's website...I am on it.

The whole point of this exercise was to raise awareness and encourage people to register for and carry an organ donor card.   I hope this has helped in some small way.  

Early post (and I mean early):

Do you think I can get to sleep?   No chance.   The good wishes and Emails keep pouring in,  votes too I hope.

Big thank you again to everyone especially Carol Ang and all at  the ATCC in Australia.   I had a message from John Soldan saying he was on the case too.  

Susan at CHUF, thanks, and yes I will put a team in the golf at Ramside in 2007.   For anyone wondering what CHUF is, it stands for Children's Heart Unit at the Freeman.   Yet another wonderful charity dong amazing work up here in Geordieland.

Fingers crossed everyone.

Sunday 5th November

I am truly grateful and feeling slightly humble as messages pour in from all over the world pledging their support for me and Tone, AKA The Prime Minister.  

Thank you does not cover it, but what else can I say to everyone?

I have got Rosie on the case in The Republic of Ireland, Janet and the Belfast squad in the north, 'Fish' getting all of my team-mates on the GB Team and loads of others, The Hamsters from Harefield, and lots of individuals as per the transgames site, Kaylee's mam Carol (who knows everyone), The TOGS, Jeff and the Aussies down under (which is why I didn't mention the rugby), Sheila in Perth WA and all Jonno's mates at Uni, Dave Clarke (I hope there's more than five of them).

Bro in law Mark and his squad, Marie and the girls, wor Julie and friends, my two 'current buns' Lee and Kev and all of their mates, The Cultured Caledonian and of course Mrs Boggy and the girls from the countries' favourite purveyor of knickers.

Big sis Kathryn, Lyndsey, Ryan, Steven, Hannah and Alan out in Vancouver, BC and possibly a few others.

if I have missed you from the list my apologies and thanks are offered.  

Lots of people who would like our Prime Minister to retire as of yesterday have even voted for him on this occasion.   To them especially, I hope you sleep well tonight and thanks, I know how much it troubled you.

I am led to believe that there is a squad at Number 10 Downing Street beavering away trying to secure votes for our leader and the happy staff at Mr Blair's constituency office in Sedgefield have received one or two pledges too.

I have to admit to being extremely nervous but excited too and would like to say this:

Even if GM & PM don't win the competition it is mission accomplished for me.   The publicity has been wonderful and if only a handful of people have signed up to the organ donor register as a result of my little wheeze I consider that victory enough.   I would also like to add:

"I am just happy to be here!"

Don't forget, wherever you are you can hear the result live on Virgin Radio (1215mw) at about 8am GB Time.

Saturday 4th November

I attended a meeting of the BHLTA - the British Heart & Lung Transplant Association -  yes I'm on that committee too, which I had organised at a hotel next to Newcastle airport.   The European Heart & Lung Transplant Games are organised under the umbrella of the BHLTA so after the Freeman hospital and Tyne Youth & Community Centre it is very important to me.

Needless to say I missed my game of golf with The TOGS.

Friday 3rd November

I can reveal all now, except that my telephone keeps ringing with newspapers and news agencies wanting to know all about what happened this morning on Virgin Radio's Christian O'Connell breakfast show.

I was on live with The Rt Hon Tony Blair MP who is probably better known as The Prime Minister of The UK.

When I get more time I will give you a blow by blow account of what happened, meanwhile go to www.virginradio.co.uk and cast your vote on Who's calling Christian?   Vote for that nice Mr Blair please.

If he wins the vote he is going to donate the £10,000 prize on offer to my chosen charities, namely the Freeman Heart & Lung Transplant Association and of course Tyne Youth & Community Centre of which I am chairman.

I will also receive £10,000 and have said I will give my money, less approx £3,000 which will cover all of my expenses for next year's transplant sport including Five Nations Golf in Ireland, GBTCC cricket, British Transplant Games in Edinburgh and the World Transplant Games in Bangkok, Thailand, to The FHLTA and Tyne Youth & Community Centre.

You missed it?   I think if you log on to the link above you can hear me and 'Wor Tone' on the radio.

Meanwhile, get voting, please......Thanks.

Top secret:  News Flash

Wherever you may be in the world, northern or southern hemisphere, tune in to the Christian O'Connell breakfast show on Virgin Radio (1215mw) Friday  morning between 6am and 10am and you will be in for a big surprise.   I do mean big!

I cannot tell you any more than that because it is top secret...honestly.   I reckon a good time to plug your ears back would be between 7 and 9am but as it's live radio things could change.

I shall be skipping my 'Healthy Hearts' session at the gym tomorrow to catch up on some sleep because I won't get much kip tonight. 

Thursday 2nd November

First post:   All of my readers down under should be celebrating some time today in the sunshine as Australian icon Rolf Harris will be on bended knee at Buck House today as he receives his CBE.   Unfortunately Mrs Windsor has cancelled her engagements because of a bad back and HRH Princess Anne will be doing the honours, literally, for RH.

Well done Rolf, although I don't have one of his originals hanging over the Boggy mantelpiece I am constantly reminded of his work every time I enter my garage after spilling some paint on the floor some years back.   Just kidding Rolfy.   Also, his version of 'Stairway to Heaven' is definitely the second best ever recorded.

Wednesday 1st November

As Captain Haddock might say, "Nincompoop!, Numbskull! and Dogs!

Yep, I got my Tintin and Rin Tin Tin muxed ip badly, but you knew what I meant I reckon.   That walking encyclopaedia from down under, JS the QC, spotted it straight away to keep Rosie on the straight and narrow.

I'm not sure if she is deserving of two free 'Gig 8' tickets yet, as I am not totally convinced that the full connection has been made between you know who and whatsisname?   What do you think?

That reminds me what's a diphthong and more to the point where is it?

October '06
