The Lord Plato is guarding a bridge over a river when Socrates appears. Socrates begs to be allowed passage. Plato bellows " If the next thing you say is true I will allow passage, but if the next thing you say is false I will throw you in the water" Socrates being clever says; " You will throw...

The Blakes7 profile pics are growing in number. Cool!

Very good, not seen the film so I enjoyed that. Here's another one; The Wild West town of Tombstone; The Sherriff rides into town on thursday ,stays for one night only but next time he leaves town it's sunday, how come?

Yes you're right of course. The men have spent £28, 27 for the meal and one to the waiter plus the two pounds returned to them, which isn't mentioned in the original telling, but the waiter's pound counted twice. I had a big puzzle book as a kid,printed in 1920's and full of these posers...

Okay, not a quiz, but a puzzle. You'd be amazed how many people will fall for this nonsense, it relies on the teller putting the right emphasis in the right places. Two guys go into a restaurant for a meal, at the end the waiter gives them the bill, which is £30. Unfortunately the restaurant...

The latest release from Richard H Kirk , the cd Dasein, is really great. This is a typically interesting and dense track called Nuclear Cloud. Not immediately accessible to listen to , but I can see what he's driving at here. A repetitive wall of sound synth foreground represents the unforgiving...

An early recording quite punkish, but with the unique Fall twist musically and lyrically.

The Fall , indescribably odd, wonderfully brilliant ,and prolific with album 32 coming out soon.

Ultravox! and Ultravox two different groups really. John Foxx the original singer of Ultravox! ( with an exclamation mark), lead a rather wonderful rock/synth band , Midge Ure brought recognition and success with pop new wave stuff. Both very enjoyable.

Totally modern, a bit synthetic, but a catchy tune that OMD do so well. This is a paean to silent movie star Louise Brooks, featuring clips from Pandora's Box, a film hated by Hitler. A wonderful tribute.

From the recent album

Or OMD for short of course. Very much a synth/new romantic band. There's no other band of this type I'd contemplate listening to, but I've always liked this group. All their albums are top notch, very catchy tunes and a good variety of lyrics . New album due out soon .

I have in front of me now the top ten rankings; Batsmen Australia 2 Smith and Warner; England 2 Root and Bairstow; Bowlers Australia 1 Hazelwood England 2 Anderson and Broad; All rounders Australia 1Starc England 3 Ali, Stokes and Broad. To borrow a line from Arthur Dent " weak poms? this is...

OMG that could weaken the Aussie team for the Ashes, how sad! We English might win 5-0 , having said that we'll probably win anyway.

Any fans of this great game? There's a lot of interesting changes possibly coming, lots of questions are being asked, an exciting time for the sport. Will Test matches be reduced from five to four days? I hope not , it's a bad idea, and I can't see it working on the Sub Continent. You'd have...

I long ago gave up on F1, and for years have followed Indy car. It's fantastic, exciting,and faster than F1,so F1 isn't even the most dangerous. There's terrific racing on the ovals, at 230mph, three abreast sometimes. Very challenging street circuits, and great drivers. Ex F1 drivers this...

Six or seven weeks until the new season and longer until transfer window ends, but I'm prepared to make a fool of myself with next season Premier League placings predictions. 1. Man C. 2. Man. U. 3. Chelsea 4. Arsenal 5.Liverpool 6.Tottenham 7.Everton 8.Leicester 9. C. Palace 10. West Brom 11...

This is the infamous goldfish prank. Classic!
