In case I Stray
If I get home early enough tomorrow I will try to fix my computer by phoneg the support line, so I may not get the chance to post.

Spoilt Rotten
Well, folks, we are getting a veritable feast of Bobby at the moment - 10 episodes a week when the Channel 5 Season 5 episode is a Logan one, 11, when it's Goren and Eames.
I need more time - and a faster computer, like my new one working again :(
Anyway, I came home to Gemini tonight:

The Ying Tong Song
A while back I posted a scene from The Goon Show where Eccles was explaining how he told the time with a piece of paper.
This song was released by The Goons on record in 1956 and was a smash hit. It was played on request shows for years afterwards. Even in 1972, when my then husband played it on University radio, he was immediately flooded with calls to play it again.
Don't be fooled by the opening, and do listen to the very last moment for the cutest record ending ever.

Channel 5 Rises to the Hallmark Illogicality Challenge
When I looked on the list of recorded programmes on my Sky+ box tonight, I discovered a surprise recording - thanks to the Series Link, it had recorded Undaunted Mettle for me.
So Channel 5 stopped showing Season 4 on Friday nights halfway through the season, but has now started showing Season 3 on Sunday nights. It wasn't advertised in the schedules, so if it hadn't been for Sky+ I wouldn't have known about it - and probably the rest of you UK Vixens missed it too.
It's taken me ages to get to this point. My new computer wouldn't boot up (so much for being fixed) and this old one refused to let me on MSN or Yahoo until I switched off the security system.
Never mind, here's Bobby to soothe us.
UK Vixen Update - the show IS in the listings. It's actually on at lunchtime (idiot here thought 12.45pm was in the middle of the night - Doh!) EVERY WEEKDAY! Yay Bobby!

I don't get it.
A prize to the person who can answer the questions below - I will make a post of your choosing.
In Smothered, the rich family is the Van Ackers. The junkie is Dale Van Acker. The mother is Priscilla Van Acker. Her father was Lance Van Acker. The Van Ackers are worth millions.
Yet when speaking of the codicil in her late husband's will, Mrs Van Acker says that if Dale has a child, her current husband doesn't share in the inheritance at all.
So was she married to her brother? Surely the fortune would be hers if it comes from her father. How does husband number one figure at all, except to father Dale?
How do the members of this dysfunctional family relate to each other and to the Van Acker fortune?
Even Bobby is puzzled:

Let's hear it for Sarah L.
Sarah, please don't be embarrassed about trying to warn us against going to the weird place mentioned in that comment. It looked trollish to me, too, so I didn't even follow the link. When I read your comment I was glad I never bothered. I know Diane didn't mean to upset you with her own comment, just explain. She's only nasty to trolls and you obviously are not one!
So please continue to comment. And just to encourage you, here are some of the few pictures Photobucket left uncensored in my Guy album. I dare you to stay silent in the face of such goodies!

False Hearted Gojis
I saw some goji berries in the health food store today and thought I'd try some, after hearing about them in False Hearted Judges.
Bleuch! (That's French for Yuck.)

Busy Two Days
Well, thanks, Blogger, for loading up my life in reverse order!
Today I went to the zoo (just for a change...) where they've opened up a new tropical bird house. There's even a part of it where you get wet when they spray it with a warm mist.
Outside there is a huge automaton clock which does all sorts of amazing things on the hour and half hour. The theme, unsurprisingly, is birds. The little mechanical critters disappear then reappear all over the place, then two have a fly round. It's great fun.
The meerkats were enjoying their heat lamps. One was actually reaching up with both paws andgripping his, but I didn't get my camera out in time, so I had to do with second best.
Yesterday I went out to dinner with two old school friends. We'veknow each other for over 40 years, but we don't get together very often. To be honest, we now live in such different worlds, I'm not sure I want to repeat the experience. They spent most of the evening discussing their many and varied trips around the world. They obviously have no intention of trying to reduce their carbon footprints, though one of them has children to save the planet for. (In fact, they've become globetrotters like mum and dad.) When I said I was going to the zoo today, Jen said, "Why?" Lesley spoke about wearing a fur, Jen said she'd wear one if she knew where to get one. They don't know me any more, and I certainly don't know them. In fact, to be honest, they've turned into people I'm not sure want to know.
But they did both know who Vincent is, and enjoy his portrayal of Goren in the show.
