In my head you said that in the voice of Michael Gambon awarding house points :-)

If he was a mumbling manc who can't say three or think properly then we are the same

I score this a 48 — as in 48 hours until we can replace it with a record I might actually want to listen to.

I played five mins for Mrs. Fog this weekend and her exact words were, “That might be the most horrible sound I’ve heard since [our eldest] was crying at 2 am.” Our eldest was not a good sleeper as a baby 20 years ago.

Yes, she really said that.

There's no accounting for taste. Have you thought about divorce?

On the contrary, based on her comments we are renewing our vows :)

Not wishing to get personal but it might be that you and Mrs Fog aren't getting yourselves warmed up enough? Attempting to listen to this can be quite challenging from a cold start and so maybe some 70s foreplay might be in order? Obviously everyone will have their own proclivities but these are favourites in the Spires household





or if you prefer to just watch...



(with apologies if I've been a a bit forward in my suggestions, just trying to be helpful).

Hmm. Come December the 1st (not a day before), I'll make you both listen to The Gritterman. Just as a social experiment.

How exactly I will achieve this, I have no idea.

I can still recite the voiceover of the Six Million Dollar Man intro by heart!

"Pitch is out, I can't hold altitude . . . Gentlemen, we can rebuild him . . . "

Did it change music in that no one else ever undertook such a ridiculous project again, or . . . ?

A properly iconic bit of pop culture for those of us of a certain age.

The action figure was pants though!
