I don't know anyone from this ad, but the tune was great!

I was fed a diet of HTV West and a bit of TSW thrown in (my nan lived in Devon)
Friday nights always had the best telly, not least 'cos as a youngster I got to stay up late and watch The Gentle Touch or something else that was deemed 'edgy' at the time.

What were your prime-time favourite from 'back in the day'?

I remember we used to watch 3-2-1
With Dusty Bin.

I'm still not sure the clues Ted Rogers read out made any sense.

If you've got an hour spare, there is a complete episode on YouTube

I got one right once.
Can't remember the exact detail, but it had the word 'boffin' in it. "Aha", I thought, if you take the word "off" out of "boffin", you're left with "bin", therefore that prize relating to that clue is Dusty Bin.

They won Dusty Bin, the stupid cunts.

How was your steak?

Very nice, ta.
Unfortunately our oven is shit and conked out halfway through doing the onion rings, so we ate a bit later than planned. It keeps doing that and it's getting a bit wearing.

Guess what the first thing I'm going to buy if my redundancy comes off is?

And with that I need to hit the sack.
I'm utterly knackered.
