I wrote stuff for I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, when Humph was the presenter.

I got the connection through the late Gerry Bron and that my dad used to do the accounts for Chris Barber.

Life is a complicated business. I have always found that cultivating people within a circle is a good way to go.

Now. I'm in the process of doing a modern "Flash Mob". Got the dance teacher on board and her husband who films and edits.

So we are heading there. Struggling with the music and that's my job.

At the moment I am running with a start with "Upside Down" by Chic and, of course, Diana Ross.

Suggestions are always welcolmed.

Not really.

I did write the one about the "old archivists" (appropriate) and the one about her underlying appearance from beneath a ladder.

However, Ian Naismith writes most of it with his team.

I miss Humph. Enormously.

Reasonable.

And fair.

I was at a recording when they went off on this one and Sandi Toksvig had just joined.

The bit, which was never broadcast, about the Royal Family was totally off the hill.

I have pretty well all of Humph's allusions to Samantha.

Including a reference to ice cream. Now fellas. Look that up.

Samantha has to nip out to spend time with her new gentleman friend. They’re off on a driving tour of Wales. She says he’s looking forward to showing her Cardiff and Cardigan Bay, before going on to Bangor in the back of his van.

I can state quite honestly that I typed that up from memory, which is fading a bit.

Now. Find the ice-cream man.

I wrote a terrible joke years ago. It's about somewhere. But I am a busy bloke today and cannot be bothered to find the link.

As you may well know, Samantha never existed. Jon Naismiths apologies are well recorded. (I got his Christian name wrong.)

You're presumably not around that much on our day shift. He can, within seconds, turn a thread entirely into whatever subject he's decided to shoehorn into it. Incessantly. Even if it means replying to himself.

I put him on ignore for a bit, but that doesn't work thanks to the quote function.

The only chance of laying into him is by catching him out in a whopper, and as he's impervious to shame and they won't ban him, it's all we've got.

Pity, cos he's an interesting and erudite poster, especially if you're into crosswords.
