A pound for Pudsey...
We've all been fundraising in here as well and our team contributed to the in house cake stall by baking and more importantly buying fab cakes. I took part in a sponsored 60m sprint with several members of the sports and news departments. As you can probably tell from the expression on my face, I came last. Yes last!!!! The race was won by sports reporter Kheredine Idessane who completed a difficult course, in a head wind, in a time of 8.1 seconds.
I have no excuse for my performance other than I wisnae very good. I was going to say that sprinting is a young man's game but I have new found respect for the legend that is John Beattie. He might be retired from professional rugby but he can still take off like a rocket across the 成人快手 car park.
It's a pound play for Pudsey tonight. Ask for whatever you like but if I play your song I ask that you donate at least a pound to 成人快手 Children In Need. A pound would be good, but I have to say I rather like the sliding scale of prices devised by Captain Ramius elsewhere on the blog. Oh and regular bloggers will not want to miss tonight's opening voice over!

True Fans night
When you're thinking up suggestions, it's very easy to go for the *obvious* track for a given artiste, particularly when you're just trying to get songs that fit.
And it's annoying for the true fans of that artiste - it's always one or two tracks for each artiste that always seem to get requested and played, not least because
For example: us Broooooce fans, we've heard Born in the USA, Born to Run & Thunder Road many times. They're great tracks, but we know that there are many other gems that we wish would get aired from time to time.
For the Undertones, it's Teenage Kicks
For Bowie, it's Let's Dance & Ziggy
For the Proclaimers, it's Sunshine on Leith & 500 miles
For Johnny Cash, it's Personal Jesus, Folsom Prison & I Walk the Line
For Bragg, it's Sexuality &
So can we have a night when you avoid the QI klaxon tracks, and go for Atlantic City, My Perfect Cousin, Life on Mars, Cap in Hand, Benny & the Jets, 25 minutes to go, Tank Park Salute and so on - the tracks that true fans of that artiste know are just great, but wouldn't be what comes to mind as "the one track I know of" for non-fans.

The problem in the past has perhaps been that we can get the impression that some of the less well known tracks will not be played so, in order to get an airing, we have a tendency to go for the more obvious. I, for one, would welcome the chance to broaden my musical experience by hearing tracks as you suggest.
C'way Bryan, you know it makes sense
