Half and half seems to be standard in Washington.

No love for "Golden" out there?

[sw2borshch]

Grahams?

[Vicarious Thrillseeker]

Which one?

The other Darlo one.

[Guy Profumo]

The other Darlo one.

The investment advisor?

I've only met him twice - once at Orient and once at Lewes in the FA Cup when he was there with Herman.

I was at Lewes with Herman too.

[Guy Profumo]

I was at Lewes with Herman too.

Oh.

It's you.

Hail fellow and well met.

I was looking at Twitter on Saturday and saw a reply from Reed to a tweet.

Yes, I have a non-work twitter now. But I don't recall what that was about.

That's my earworm for the rest of the week sorted, then.

I've only ever met one OTFer and it was thoroughly expected, given he texted me while I was on a train to Rotherham to tell me which pub he was in. Cheers, GO!

I met E10 many years ago when I was an Orient supporter, and he was involved in The Orienteer. Having not at that point concieved of the internet, finding him on here some 20-odd years later was unexpected.

Hey, HP. It was in a discussion that somehow turned to Jonah Goldberg's book Liberal Fascism. I don't remember how I got there, though.

When was that John? And where?

[Femme Folle]

Yeah, I need closure on "Minipops".

Although, if that is a real name, deletions will be made here. (And I sort of assume it is, so I don't really want to know.)

I assumed it was an alias.

Me.

It's an anagram of this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etaoin_shrdlu - indicating nonsense.

(The name "Etienne Shrdlu" is the "same" joke - used in a cbt typing course.)


And minipops?

The worst idea for a television programme ever.

Excellent, GP. Thanks for clearing that up.

It's a whole other thread...

I sure we had some private mail about this. It was the Alfred Hitchcock, my then partner made the 'Yours for a Fiver' thing. To E10

I think I saw a tweet from Ursus today, a reply to a thread started by a journalist who I follow, too.

I quite liked it when I was nine.

[Jah Womble]

I'm astonished that they were still issuing albums under the brand as late as 1989.

Actually, maybe I'm not.
