It is a neat video but I disapprove of the feeding of paper flowers to a pony, run and get the RSPCA.....

In the show I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here many of the tasks involve bugs. For reasons known only to herself, while watching a particularly insect-heavy food task during the last series, my mum started to sing "see my spider jump" to the tune of 'See My Baby Jive'.

R.I.P. Marcia Falkender.
Who, you might ask?
Well, she was British Prime Minister, Harold Wilson's personal secretary. And it was she and (Wilson) who, in 1967, were depicted in that infamous post card, The Move's manager,Tony Secunda had made up to promote Flowers in the Rain and which resulted in the band being sued for libel by Wilson and being ordered to pay all future royalties from that single to charity.
How's that for obscure!

I wonder, now that they have both passed on does it mean Woody will receive the royalties in future?

At the gym this morning I saw a woman walking on the treadmill wearing a Jeff Lynne's ELO Hollywood Bowl shirt. I wanted to catch her attention, give her a thumbs up at least but that's bad gym etiquette so I didn't.

I'm a pretty polite person, but I have no idea what good gym etiquette is ...not much of problem, I guess, because I rarely manage to get there these days...

I'm a pretty polite person, but I have no idea what good gym etiquette is I'm so into gym etiquette, eloneen Here are the rules as I understand them: Don't look at anyone. Don't talk to anyone. Absolutely don't stare at anyone! Don't psychotically talk to yourself or grunt loudly while staring at someone. If there is enough room leave one empty machine between you and the next person especially if you are coughing, hacking or sneezing. Wipe down the machine when your done. I'm certain that as a polite person living in a society you automatically follow these rules already. The first two rules are a little harsh and may only apply to those who go to the gym at the crack of dawn like I do.

elophile - I remember that Seinfeld built a whole episode around gym etiquette. If I remember right, George was going to get his membership revoked for peeing in the shower, but then they caught the guy who was going to turn him in violating some other rule like not wiping down the machines. I think any ELO fan that wears there concert shirt out in public would appreciate a thumbs up.

And there's the legendary quote from Red Dwarf (British sitcom set on a spaceship):
"Space Corps Directive 196156: Any officer caught sniffing the saddle of the exercise bicycle in the women's gym will be discharged without trial!"

I wouldn't know how to react. I'd probably corner the poor soul and it would be the last they'd acknowledge an ELO fan. Unless, hope against hope, they are as crazy as I am.
