The klaxon in the finest QI tradition depicts the most obvious answer of the night. You may have heard it during the summer of 69.

Jinkk
Welcome. As part of you're initiation you have to prove henrihannah exists, prove that you are not Glen Miller and be able to hack into Norriemacleans account. Once you've done all that you are only a moderation away from being a fully paid up member :-)

... and also merit the klaxon for 4 Seasons In One Day >8-0

"We'll feature the annoying ones as well as the classics"

Great ☺

Trio - 'Da Da Da'

Annoying or classic, you decide...

'Shoot First' by The Jim Jones Review...not heard them yet on GIO.

Men Without Hats - 'Safety Dance'

I think the guitar break in 'Shut Up & Let Me Go' by The Ting Tings is gorgeous, irresistible and utterly memorable for hours after hearing it.

I seem to have a new font or point size and the previous thread has been split into pages with first/last buttons.

I say,despite cutbacks, it's good to know our blog is still worthy of investment.

Welcome Jinkk, pay no attention to Paulo, of course henri hannah exists, if only in his own mind, I think.

TUESDAY


This song has been in my head for more than thirty years, and I never tire of it.

- Judie Tzuke

When the Captain comes back from meeting Sarah and Michael on their trip Hunting Tigers Out in Indiah, we should ask him to add a field to his database whereby we can correlate those eating Spaghetti Bolognaise with those requesting klaxon generators.

This is an anecdotal but nevertheless worthwhile piece of research which would save us having to go through another census in a few years time.

Someone's been messing with our blog. It seems that the goaaallll is now a portal to level 2

The post to this theme is truly one for the iPhone generation. And very welcome too.

At the risk of being a sook Back on the chain gang has been one of my all time favourite singles since the day of release. Outstanding suggestion.

whit's happened to the box, it's gone awfy wee?

Mr Git, I have discussed your proposition with Zizi and he says he'll be happy to come along on condition that he gets fish twice a day, his own chair to sleep in at night, several mats belonging only to him to scratch his claws on and if Sarah suggests he sit on her knee you arrange for his transport home forthwith.


I once met a guy with a cool-looking jacket on. I said what's it made of, he said moose. Must have taken an awful lot of them.

Deliberately dropped in to kid us on, bit I'm not fooled.

Therealnotnorriemaclean is an impostor! He or she's far too good at the typing. And he or she's not nice enough to be Norrie.

I think Norrie is being held somewhere and we'll get a ransom note before long

Taken them each so far (Anon)

Just print the list and we'll tell you what ones we want to hear. That way we don't waste our time thinking of stuff we really want.

I was talking about hooks just last week with my son who has to compose something for his Music IGCSE. One that came up was Funky Town. Rather than Lipps Inc though, give this version a spin:


Funky Town - Pseudo Echo

Great mem j, Paolo!

Is it true he’s doing a live album backed by The Band of the Brigade of Gurkhas with Joanna Lumley stepping into Jerry Hall’s leopard skin leotard?

BRING ME THE GARDEN SHED OF ALFREDO GARCIA!

#6,Paolo,Thanks for that and pardon my ignorance on the deeper meaning of klaxons and Q.I.(I'm an Only Connect man,myself).Mmm,I do seem to remember the sound of klaxons at a Jefferson Airplane gig in the summer of 69.How did you know that?!Amazing.!For tonight's show I was going to suggest "Chirpy, Chirpy Cheep,Cheep"but its maybe a bit avant garde so I'll plump for Whistling Jack Smith's"I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman" or in your case"I Was Klaxon Bill's Baitman":o),go whistle.Big second for "Popcorn"by Hot Butter,love it.For great riffs I would pick Joe Cocker's great "Woman to Woman"much sampled but never bettered,Cheers, Willie Bartke

BRING SCOTCH THE TIN OF GLOSS RED OF ALFREDO GARCIA

#12
Blog used to do that in the old days, Henri (before it was left untended and needing a coat of creosote). I asked last week who in the team was in charge of the Blog and that might have prompted some IT lackey being sent in to give us a facelift and keep us happy. The posting of titillating pictures could also be with that in mind.

#81
Rather partial to Only Connect myself fiendishly difficult though it may be. And that other show which is the opposite of the Klaxon where you have to guess the least popular correct answer. Canny mind what it's called.

We might be a bit tight for time tonight in getting to level 2

#70 , #71

Anyway why play Kaiser Bills Batman when you can play The Wurzel's Farmer Bill's Cowman. Might as well go the full annoying road......

#86 Quite ☺

DC,

Paolo's up to no good. Nivvir mind level 2, do your level best to ensure a level playing field...

Lochaber no more...

>8-D

As we are jumping levels again, perhaps something more appropriate than "Goal" should be used.

#90
You've taken that too far

So where's the kudos then? The last one downstairs or the first one upstairs?

I've just discovered I'm not firing blanks...









The blog equivalent of one raised eyebrow is no longer an option.






















That has completely ruined my evening!
