  8. Keith Deller? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

  18.  @UKCougar  I had to look that up. It must be the most ignored rule on the internet. Yeah, I did go full-on gammon with my original post, but meh, I stand by it, Wheaton's law, or not.

  19.  @StratsRUs  just watched a bit of series 2. It’s like a parody of the 80s. 😂 The five string bass (surprisingly, not fretless) player is wearing his dads suit with the sleeves rolled up. The keyboard player played something called “samples” 👍
