British planetary scientist Colin Pillinger once attempted to launch the Out Of The Blue cardboard cut-out spaceship into orbit around Mars. It got as far as Haverfordwest.

When Mik took off those uber-tight trousers he used to wear on stage his height would drop by 6 inches and his whole body would expand by the same amount.

On long dark rainy summer nights, British folk used to cheer themselves up by holding ELO Bingo Nights. Popular calls included: Eyes Down...Home Town Five and Zero - Wild West Hero All the Twos - Birmingham Blues Half a Score - Xanadu Live At Wembley - 78 And of course, lucky winners would shout "Grrooss!" instead of "House!" Does anyone else remember those happy times?

The first out of Jeff and Mik to go grey about the beard have been promised the role of Captain Birds Eye. Mik is determined to win and is currently watching back-to-back horror films in an effort to speed up the process. So that's where he's been all this time!

The running length of The Battle of Marston Moor is unknown, many a person has tried to sit through the whole track to time it's length but so far not one has succeeded in listening to the complete song. Hahaha... excellent fact! I was one of those "many a person"... I can only assure it has at least 1:52 minutes but from there on I don't know.

Men of many talents, the ELO members once held a Bake-Off.
Bev planned to make a Manhattan Crumble, but ended up doing rolls (ba-da-boom)
Kelly burnt his griddle cakes - he had the fire on high.
Hugh McDowell blamed the sound crew when his batter went flat.
Richard made it to the kitchen, but got distracted, working on his scales.
Melvyn's date and walnut creation was so soggy, no one would sample it, despite his repeated pleas of "Do ya, do ya, want my loaf?"
Mik missed the deadline - fiddling with his icing, he wasn't on Time.
So Jeff was the winner, as he'd had the idea of using a range of non-stick baking trays. Gracious and modest in victory, he was heard to chortle: "Ho, ho, Teflon line..."
