<HTML>Apologies for getting formal on you.
I keep telling the computer it's "Rob" but it keeps adding the "Johnson" by
itself !
I liked the one song to the tune of other last night. I'd explain the rules but
it's a little complicated...</HTML>

<HTML>Well, of course geographical variants are catered for. I play a version based on my village; there are only two moves. 1) My house to Swan Inn (straight line). 2) Swan Inn to my house (wobbly line),</HTML>

<HTML>And the irony of this all is, I forgot it was on last night.....
And I'm away this weekend, so no sneaky listening to repeats either!
Must invest in radio card for PC at work so can record them....</HTML>

<HTML>Thank you guys for telling me it was going to be on!! I just managed to catch it, and I hadn't heard it before so thats cool. I was a little dissapointed about missing Mornington Crescent though, A couple of my mates used to play that on the train, but I had no idea where it was from. They taught me some brilliant tactics to use against unsuspecting people though ...
Incidentally if somebody could please enlighten me about the Shakespeare quote they used I would be very gratetful! I found it so funny at the time that I seem to have forgotten it and its annoying me!</HTML>

<HTML>damn - didn't read this until way too late to catch the program as it went out but help is at hand - I can hear it again on the beeb's website - hurrah!
The sad thing is I started listening to ISIHAC a few years ago and thought 'This is really fresh and new..." How little I realised...</HTML>

<HTML>Is this Gates person one of these so-called pop singers that appears to be popular with modern youth? Children today are clearly being led astray by such decadent 'artistes'. When I were a lad we had proper turns, not moral corrupters like this Gates. Black Sabbath, now that were a proper band.</HTML>

<HTML>That has to count as a serious deviation!
Gates is one of the carbon copy stars of modern popular culture, I'm led to believe. His USP is a stutter...</HTML>

<HTML>Heard a great line from Bill Hicks - he ranted about squeaky clean pop acts such as the Backstreet Boys - when told that they should be held up as an example for our children, replied
When did mediocrity and banality become a good image for your children?
