I am quite looking forward to Vernon Kay taking over, no idea what he'll be like but something about Gary Davies really rubs me the wrong way oops x

 

The podcast episode from yesterday still wasn't posted on the usual page but I did manage to find a link to it after clicking on the new one so caught up again ~

 

Yesterday:

 

Round 1: 1+0+0+0+1+2+3+0+0+0 = 7 (missed

Stakka Bo, 'Chequered Love', Ian Dury, The Rainmakers, Echobelly, Eric Clapton

)

Round 2: 0+1+2+0+1+0+1+0+1+0 = 6 (missed

Eddy Grant, 'Stupid Girl', 'Run To You', The Pioneers, 'I'm Still Standing'

)

 

My worst pair of scores to date :cheeseblock:

and that was even with me almost running out of time recalling the name Doctor Spin, then just guessing the Diana Ross one, could very easily have only got 2 on that first round

.

 

Today:

 

Round 1: 1+2+3+0+0+1+0+0+0+2 = 9 (missed

Aztec Camera, Alan Price, 'Just Say No', Randy Crawford, Julian Lennon

)

Round 2: 1+2+0+0+1+0+1+2+0+2 = 9 (missed

Blue Zoo, Feargal Sharkey, Shelley Nelson, Five

)

 

A little better, although should really have got 18 on round 2 -

confused Five with 911 oop

. Handily beating the actual contestant scores today at least... *_*

Well done John on the double 65 yesterday!

I agree about Gary seemed to love not giving a woman 2 mornings ago the points when she gave ‘The Drugs Don’t Work’ answer a half second late!!

Round 1: 1+0+1+2+3+4+5+0+1+0 = 17 (missed

I went for my joker on question 8 in round 1 but got it wrong aw -

I did actually manage to name a Sweetbox song as there was one in BJSC but alas it wasn't their hit single

. Got question 10 wrong as well anyway though so no difference made really, unless I had played my joker one question earlier.

 

 

Also again need to pay more attention to Gezza's thread as I remembered The Style Council being posted in there but mind completely blanked on the title

 

Ten To The Top:

 

R1:

x-1-x-x-1-2-3-x-1-2^(x2) = 12

R2:

1-2-3-4-5-x-1-2-x-x = 18

Aww round 2 was off to such a promising start :(

Kenny Everett

 

 

Round 2: 10 (1+0+1+2+3+0+1+2+0+0) I think, may have my second incorrect answer in the wrong place - didn't get

Heatwave (my most annoying miss yet, I know the song well but couldn't recall the group!), ABC, Shakin' Stevens, Tami Lynn

 

Well done John on the double 65 yesterday!

 

Round 1: 45 - didn't get
