Hi Cogibdubnus,

Nice anorak work.

Courtesy of the late and great Flanders and Swann—

"Along the Queen's great highway, I drive my merry load,
At twenty miles per hour in the middle of the road.
We like to drive in conveys, we're most gregarious,
The big six-wheeler, scarlet painted, London Transport, diesel engine, ninety-seven horsepower omnibus.

"Hold very tight, please,

"Ding ding."

Regards,

Simon

Hello Simon.

A class act.

I think the advert on the back of the bus might be for McLeans toothpaste.

Did you McClean your teeth today, Robert?

[Robert]

Sadly, no - couldn't find them.

Hi Stephen,

Don't let's forget Pepsodent.

That's funny, guys. I always use much the same line when my wife and I are doing a crossword puzzle where the clue is: "Wildebeest (3)". I always say, "I'm a gnu, a gnother gnu." Drives her nuts.

BTW, am I the only one around here who saw F&S in a live performance? I saw them in Toronto in the pre-Broadway warm-up of At the Drop of Another Hat.

[Simon Wood]

Hi Ken,

Not gnuts?

I envy your having seen F&S live.

Regards,

Simon

Not gnuts?

Well done, Simon.

BBC Radio Documentary: "People of the Abyss"

I just came across an interesting radio documentary. It's called 'Jack London's People of the Abyss' and features author Dan Cruikshank.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01fhrjk

It's on BBC4 and is about 30 minutes long.

*PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE ONLY 4 MORE DAYS TO LISTEN OR DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAM*

(I have no idea why, because they have a big archive, but that's what the page says.)

Enjoy,
Archaic

PS: Hi Ken!
