Long time listener, first time caller. With respect to the second verse should it not be “Kaleidoscope”, capitalised, referring to the Radio 4 arts programme, rather than “kaleidoscope”, lower case, referring to a rather underwhelming kids toy that I would have been disappointed with if I’d been given one in the seventies when I was growing up.

Great stuff Jason. The drunkenness is plain enough, but I’m a touch sceptical about your madness. That’s Catch 22 for you I suppose.

Mrs Exford says thanks for all the chords. But the uke that she bought me for my birthday last year is so crap that I haven’t got very far with it. Even if wasn’t crap it’s way too small for my fingers.

Just posted a cover of this today. Actually, two covers of this.

One of them was on my hardrive for like EVER, waiting for me to put the solo in the middle. I threw away the idea of doing it on keyboard like the original and whipped out a kazoo instead. The second one is a faster, funnier banjulele version.

Comments most welcome.

I always thought it was “…varsity gown’” Given that a barbour seems to be (reaches for google) ‘Men’s and women’s outdoor activity and country sport clothing’.

There’s an excuse to listen to one of my favourite HMHB tracks again.

This is like ancient Greek to me. I’ve never placed a bet in my life. I feel terribly left out.

Heh! In the pursuit of taking pedantry to extremes, I should point out that our as yet unsuccessful mare is officially registered as “Wouldn’Titbenice.” I have no clue as to the reason for the mischievous capital T, but Weatherbys rules dictate a maximum of 18 characters, including spaces, for the name of a racehorse. So no spaces, then.

And while Betfair may do as they wish, Exxo’s traditional bookie should have pointed out that tricasts are only accepted on handicap races with a minimum of eight runners. In the case of this seven runner novice hurdle, his bet should have been settled as a combination forecast on the relevant three horses. Which, seeing as the 2nd favourite was pulled up, leaves his bet down by 1.35(pm), anyway.
