´óÏó´«Ã½

I do not watch The One Show as having seen and heard Adrian Chiles
no thankyou, as for his co presenter also no thankyou. Carole Thatcher is lovely to listen to and great fun. ´óÏó´«Ã½ you need to get your priorities in order. Jonathan Ross, apology or not is disgusting, stopped watching and listening to him a long time ago, his toilet humour is peurile, remember he is a man and a father nearly fifty years old.

Oh! If I knew suggesting the Clash was going to provoke that reaction.....

I think he's following in the steps of the irrepressible digiGareth.

such a foul mouth should be washed out with new improved intensified clash!

The best sleeves don't necessarily go with the best music - Squawk by Budgie is an example.

It would be more interesting if he was a woman and a father.

Carol, why did you choose rightwhino as your blog name

Come on glen, you're slipping. Get these chiles abusers telt

DC

Good show Bryan, but that was the wrong Revolution you played.

Led Zep brilliant. Clapton next?

Oh, and which album featured the Glasgow Herald?

(Breakfast in America!) GET IT ON!!!

DC in Cellardyke

Why isn't he out playing in the snow?

Bryan, have a look at the rear of Breakfast in America. The group are sitting at the breakfast table reading the morning papers. These include the New York Times, The Los Angeles Tribune and yes, The Glasgow Herald.

That's unless I have the only copy of such an album in which case I'm now worth a small fortune...

DC

It would be out of the question now at 80p

#12 WOW!!!!!! As much as that??? Mind you, I did say a small fortune

I've just been up the garret (attic to yous unculchird folk) to check, and the Glesgy Herald does feature on the album.

So there

DC

11# The band members were reading newspapers respective to their home cities.

Welldone Jan... DC will get his B. in L. to use it in his next musical links quiz... l.o.l.

B. in L. ???

DC

Brother-in-Law one assumes.

Loved the 'Covers' show.

Did I hear a snatch of 'A Pair of Brown Eyes' in the part 1 montage? (Ref: Rum, Sodomy and the Lash).

Not sure it actually featured in part 1? (OK, bit miffed as it was my suggestion).

'Jimmy, Jimmy' made up for it though.

Ahhhh..

Not used to Wast coast lingo.

Speaking of quizzes, was any mention made of julie's & paulopablo's efforts on the Tuesday show? I didn't hear it unfortunately

DC

DC,
There is a rumour abroad that Paolo is your B. in L.

I think we should be telt!

#19. Don't think so...should I have expected a mention? Was the quiz even mentioned on the radio? I only did the first half anyway...I gave up and Paolo took over.

#20
You trying to insinuate I'm from welsh Wales? Quiz didn't get mentioned that I heard and only menshie I got was the last song on Monday's show but Well done to Julie who not only made the podium for wed show but indeed got the gold medal.

#20 Scotch,

I have my suspicions you know better than that

>;-)

Disappointing that neither the quiz nor the sterling efforts to re-write Christmas songs for the benefit of the Get It On listener were acknowledged.

Jim, do you know if this is a producer-led initiative? We need to be telt

DC

Anyone else detect the seeds of Brand and Ross style folie a deux in the Bryan and Barbara partnership?

#24

Golly, Glen! Will the moderators allow controversial contumacy ?!?

The pair have certainly been getting a bit skiech of late and that was Ross's downfall......

#26 What does that mean Adam? Skiech?

The General Assembly may be more concerned by the appearance of the G word.

The nearest I could get was skeich which seems to imply friskiness.

I've seen it spelled 'skeigh' or 'skiegh'

'Skittish' was the English translation I was given.

Yes - it's related to horses which may be a trifle ungallant.

Let us not forget that Babs is a married woman.

Lest we be, albeit inadvertently, a trifle ungallant.

Surprised you guys are unfamiliar with the term 'skiech'.

Its used to describe people (usually kids) who get so high and excited that they go all giggly and start acting daft.
Least thats how I always interpreted it.

DC is very knowledgeable on these sort of things so I'm sure he'll be on later with the definite definition. (Its Friday though, so it'll be after a half dozen Absolut's and coke).

Oops, he'll also pick me up on that apostrophe.

Adam, you are indeed correct in your use of the word skiech in blog 26. Skiech means to be in high spirits, frisky, restless.

Skeigh on the other hand is a bobbin holder used in sewing and spinning wheels. It is placed on the outside of the bobbin to stop it from slipping off the spindle.

Jan fae Ruglin, Re: #29

Could you enlighten me, please, as to the correct pronunciation of these words?
Skeigh I came across in a Burns' poem.
Skiech is new to me.

Scotch - did you hear the lovely Miss Millican on the radio today?

Norrie,
Yeah, I did! Love her accent.
Is Sarah on Fred's show every Friday?



(Gotta go to work. Don't be offended when I don't reply to your reply).

#35 - It rhymes with the `K` word, SG.

#32 Adam, you are quite correct in a number of points in your post. However, I reckon it's spelled 'skeich'. I would need to refer to the Scots Dictionary on this one or at least spier et mah feth'r.

You are correct in the use of the word, as backed up by Jan regarding 'high in spirits'. However, this description cannot be used on my good self tonight because a) I have had no Absoluts (without the misused apostrophe) and
b) that is not the sort of spirits it refers to.

I may be skeich after East Fife beat Ebburdeen at Pittodrie tomorrow however. If that is the case, I will be 'high in spirits' in both senses of the phrase.

S-G #35, pronounce it 'skei' as in 'ski' (the sport!) and 'ch' as in 'loch'. Its a short. hard word, used to describe wee lawds goin hyper

C'waaay the Fife!

DC

DC

If 'The Fife' do happen to beat the Sheep I too may be a bit skeich but for different reasons and certainly not through the drink (though the day for release unto the hands of the beer gods is fast approaching)

EC, You've mentioned 'sheep' here. I fear S-G will be looking to post very soon......

DC

#19 Bloomin' heck DC...

What's so WEST coast about Brother in Law?

Go on give us brother in law "Kingdom style!"

#42
Bloomin' heck???????????????

Sure you're from Clydebank?

#43 Ah kain!

Could be Jeremy Clarkson in disguise?

DC

DC,
What was the Eric Clapton song on which you can hear him calling out key changes to the band ?
You know it won't get played, but tantrums are part of the fun!

#38, #39

Thank you, gentlemen. I know it's not a competition, but Adam's explanation was the more succint by far. Not in the least long-winded or aimlessly rambling.............

Scotch,

Ah kain...........................

(But ye did ask...)

DC

#45

All of them.

#31 Indeed, let us not be inadvertently ungallant.

If we're gaunnae be ungallant, let's absolutely straight up and be it, outrageously ;-)

#45
Don't know, but there's a Sawdoctors song which the lyrics include the chords.

#50 Captain, actually you are onto something - 'music about music' would be a great theme! This suggestion springs to mind:



Three Chord Country And American Rock And Roll by Keith Anderson.

#50 There is also Abacab by Genesis... So named because originally the song included the chord sequence A-B-A-C-A-B. When finally released the chords had been changed but the name had stuck!

Ok not as difficult or as clever as DC's RIP quiz but as a mild form of revenge 10 questions on songs or groups that would qualify for Monday's Medical matters programme
1 Which band released an album called Dark Side of the Moon in 1972 a year before Floyd album of the same name?
2 Who borrowed a poetic title and namechecked Keats Wordsworth and Browning in the lyric?
3 Which band dropped Easy from their name before finding success?
4 Which Band's logo consisted of their name on a raffle ticket?
5 Which No.! single was released the day after Diana died?
6 Which Weird Al Yankovic parody of a Madonna song was suggested to Al by Madonna herself?
7 Elvis Costello had a hit with which song under the name of the Imposter
8 Which ELP album was named after a Dr John Lyric?
9 What was the only Police Single not to have an accompanying video
10 Dr Hook were one of 4 chart topping acts to include an eyepatch wearing member. Who were the other 3? (Adam Ant only ever wore his in a live show)
