Was looking for a lecky plug in the caravan and thought id seen one in a yet to be sorted draw. Turned out the plug was a trailer one not the hook up one i was after though i found this book  which made it worth the effort.

Not overly taken on the words though the illustrations are great.

Pam found fame on Opportunity Knocks, 

Reciting poems that were total bollocks, 

Every week an original verse

Trouble was, they got much worse, 

Still she was a massive hit,

Despite writing poetic shit, 

But they say, everything’s subjective,

So I’ll end ‘ere with that posh adjective.

Well played sir.

That accounts for why she is vaguely familiar to me. Judging by her clobber and the fact the book cost a quid new I would date this around the time that tv was something occasionally watched at other peoples houses.

She won Opportunity Knocks ( an early version of BGT for our younger viewers) in 1975 and has been on TV and radio in small doses ever since.

Swombo won tickets to see her a couple of years ago.

Watch: Police seize three vehicles after one stop

 

Quote

A police officer has told how seizing one uninsured car led to two more being taken off the road.

Officers were being filmed by BBC Look East on the streets of Luton for a day of targeting drivers without insurance, during which time they caught 43.

Having stopped one driver, his wife and friend then arrived to help him, each of them also driving vehicles without cover.

Arrived half an hour early for a hospital appointment for the usual hunt for a parking space and of course found one straight away.

Overly large and impractical vehicle for today's roads and a hearse.

Years ago in York, we saw a goose walk up to the automatic door of M&S and wander in when they opened.

Stuck an electric guitar and amp on Gumtree for a ton, braced myself for the usual fuckwits and while I did get one "£50 2 nite M9" message a guy came round last night after a couple of intelligently constructed texts, said "I've got a taxi waiting, I'll just take it" and chucked 5 twenties on the table and was gone within a couple of minutes. 

If Carlsberg did Gumtree transactions...
