Don’t know if he’s on here yet, Adam, but Terry Christian has written a fair bit about 10cc’s influence on the 70s Manchester music scene.

Not listened to that in years- going to rectify that in the car tomorrow.

Agreed, genius songwriters (and I’m allowed to say that without familial bias!)

I’ve got the Cachaca in to make a few jugs of Caipirinha…

Probably not- but this gives it a run for its money…

Just bought myself some sparkly, new Adidas Sambas last week and I can’t help but thinking I’m going to be accused of bandwagon-jumping…

Interesting, I never knew there was a difference.

Always experienced the ‘Northern’ method and certainly teach that to students.

I’ve always assumed it’s so the police officer (who won’t have been in court until then) can’t ‘spin’ the D’s words like counsel could.

Pan Catalán in our house- is there any difference?

Think we have 5 in total- there are 4 in that photo but one is hiding behind the fat one!

We think there are two juveniles amongst them.

The fact that we are buying about 3kg of kitten food a week tells you something (we don’t own a cat!)

I tried using the OJ Simpson case to explain case theory to trainees yesterday.

No chance.

Ancient history, Ish…

I made a reference to Johnny Ball’s ‘Think of a number’ - silence.

‘You probably know his daughter, Zöe Ball…’ -silence.

‘You know, the DJ…’ - tumbleweed…

‘Used to be married to Fatboy slim’ - nothing.

‘You are familiar with the concept of popular music????’

Ours just make sort of squawky noises to each other.

Not restful at all.

I think we might have defective owls…

Essential tip which would have saved me an hour or so ⬆️

Anyone who knows me will have been bored by my opinion that your first book should be on the National curriculum.

Many congratulations.
