Next week's themes...
I have finally emerged from recovery after Thursday night's show. It was an exhilarating two hours of live radio and thanks to everyone who took part and made it such a fun night. If you missed the show you can of course listen again but on this occasion I don't know if it will sound the same. Because of the spontaneous nature of the theme and because presenter, producer and listeners had no idea what was going to be played next you kinda had to be there!
This week's themes are the usual mixed bunch and I hope you enjoy. Tuesday's theme is a clever suggestion and I am hoping the sun our is out for Thursday night's 'holiday hits'. We will have a holiday photo album up on line before then and I would love to see some of your snaps. If you fancy joining I the fun and letting us put your pics on the album then email them in.
You can also email your songs for the week or leave them on the blog. Good to see some new bloggers appearing this week. Welcome to the page and don't be shy with your suggestions...
Monday:
From Wicked Games to Solitaire, from Games Without Frontiers to Poker Face, playing games is the theme tonight. Get in touch with your suggestions and let us know the 'games people play'....
Tuesday:
Julie in the Borders has come up with a great theme of 'any Tom, Dick or Harry'. That could mean Tom Jones, Richard Carpenter or even a bit of Debbie Harry! Why not come up with all three?
Wednesday:
Great middle eights is the theme. Join me as we take it to the bridge. If you are unsure what a middle eight is then follow this link. Get on the email with your suggestions...
Thursday:
As part of our Thirty Days In Europe season, we're looking for your holiday hits. What were the songs that came back from the Costa Del Sol and into the charts. Listen out for the tunes that will make the holiday memories come flooding back ...

More often than not it was just pinned onto the carpet. We all had player pools with silly names and a transfer budget for buying names from each other. We had a disciplinary system too. If you committed a foul and the other player fell over it was a booking. It broke my heart when I couldn't afford a seven inch single from my pocket money in the weeks I had to buy Glue. At one point my inside right had a huge big blob of glue for a shinbone.

Good to read about the Subbuteo leagues..remember the difficulties of away games ? One venue would be burny knees and a shag pile carpet, the next could be Posh Peter who actually did play Table Soccer on a table - unheard of down here !!

I could just visualise Bryan with his WTF face on. Ah the slick midweek professionalism went right oot the windae at the weekend. Still, they've promised to get comfortably numb on early this saturday and a verbal contract is legally binding under getiton law is it not?

There were enough streets, even way back then. Four bus stops, a Community Council and a Chancers section (each with their own wee tale before the punchline fine or reward)
But I didn't do that of course because it was against the rules
