Between PK and Paul we have all but the shooter. F*cking C*nt is the correct sentiment but not his actual name.

7 December ????

Tomcat halts steeplejack

Chief chimney-toppler Fred Dibnah has been halted in his work after a ginger tomcat got to his latest assignment first.

Troublesome feline George has climbed a height of 160 ft (49 m) up an industrial chimney and is resisting attempts to bring him back down.

His escapade has stopped Lancashire based Mr Dibnah, 45, who has been the subject of several television documentaries.

An attempt by Mr Dibnah to reach the ginger feline failed when George climbed even higher.

An emergency meeting was called between the fire brigade, the RSPCA and Mr Dibnah to resolve the issue.

It was decided George should be left on the chimney in the hope a lonely night at such a height without food may encourage him to come down.

But Mr Dibnah is not impressed with the cat's antics because there is work to be done.

Mr Dibnah said: "If we leave it up there all night it might get so fed up and hungry that it might come down on its own.

"Failing that it is holding my job up. I have got a few hundred pounds at stake and I can not be held up with a cat."

He pledged to return to try to rescue George tomorrow if he still had not come down - this time perhaps armed with a sack.



a) Dibnah won public acclaim after a local BBC Television broadcast included a news item showing him gilding and installing the topmost finial of his home town Town Hall. Name that town?
b) A subsequent documentary commissioned in 1979 won that years BAFTA award for Best Documentary. Can you name the film?
c) Dibnah died in November 2004 only weeks after filming his final series touring the UK. What type of vehicle did he make his tour on?

The UK Top 5 selling singles for that same week were…….

1. ???
2. LOVE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE - PAUL YOUNG
3. SAY SAY SAY - PAUL MCCARTNEY AND MICHAEL JACKSON
4. CALLING YOUR NAME - MARILYN
5. HOLD ME NOW - THOMPSON TWINS


Can you name the missing song & artist from the lyrics below…..

And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind

That was the week that was…..but what was the year?

9 December ????

Gatting row halts play in Pakistan

The England cricket tour to Pakistan could be called off following a row between Mike Gatting and the umpire Shakoor Rana.

There was no play during the second test today after Rana refused to take the field until the England captain apologised to him for a heated exchange which broke out between them yesterday.

But Gatting is demanding an apology from the umpire.

The deadlock comes after both men clashed twice at Faisalabad yesterday on the second day of play.

Gatting stood shaking his head and was heard saying, "One rule for one, one for another", after his appeal for a catch was turned down.

Later, the umpire triggered a furious row - in which the captain began pointing and shouting - when he accused Gatting of cheating.

It has thrown the series into chaos after the England side waited on the field for play but the umpire remained in the pavilion.

The players are said to have given Gatting their full support.

Behind the scenes a series of negotiations have been taking place and both men met to reach a compromise but failed.

It is understood Gatting is prepared to apologise but only if Rana withdraws his allegation of cheating.

England tour manager Peter Lush said discussions between the two men had been a "little bit tense" and he described Mr Rana as being "very sensitive".

But the umpire said: "He [Gatting] just abused me. I cannot tell you what did he say but he used filthy language."

Pakistan Cricket Board official Ijaj Butt said: "The series might be called off because there is no point in playing the game of cricket if this is the feeling to prevail between the umpires and one of the sides."

England pulled out of a tour of Pakistan in 1969 after disruptive anti-British riots.
A cancellation now would mean the first time events on the field have brought players home in test cricket's 111 year history.


a) Play resumed after Gatting delivered a handwritten apology (which he did under protest). Who won the Test Match?
b) Which County did Gatting play for ?
c) Gatting was told he was ‘too short and fat’ to make the grade as a goalkeeper when he trailed for which football club?

The UK Top 5 selling singles for that same week were…….

1. ???
2. GOT MY MIND SET ON YOU - GEORGE HARRISON
3. LETTER FROM AMERICA - PROCLAIMERS
4. CRITICIZE - ALEXANDER O'NEAL
5. NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE - COMMUNARDS


Can you name the missing song & artist from the lyrics below…..

It was a theme she had
On a scheme he had
Told in a foreign land
To take life on earth
To the second birth
And the man was in command
It was a flight on the wings
Of a young girl's dreams
That flew too far away
And we could make the monster live again

That was the week that was…..but what was the year?

Just my wicked sense of humour!

It was a draw - bad light stopped play in the end - it must have been the thundercloud over Gattings head!
