Don't know if you were a David Bowie fan Hitch, but it was sad news yesterday wasn't it? I must admit to shedding a tear. I love the oddness of his songs. I was given his Greatest Hits as a gift back in the 90's, I only knew the Lets Dance Bowie up until then, so his his earlier stuff was a really pleasant surprise. Totally out there. 
Rebel Rebel became my favourite song.
Someone today described him as the patron saint of misfits, that probably sums up his appeal.
I wasn't his biggest fan, but enjoyed him immensely and am sad about it. I also understand how his fans are feeling right now (like with Pratchett last year). One of my first 45s was the Let's Dance/Cat People, I think it was a double a-side... but I was little, memory fails.
Need to scan the tv guides for Labyrinth.
Ah yes, you'd understand [ not that I was a really dedicated fan though honestly. That's a good early single to buy... I think mine was Green Door, by Shakin' Stevens. Oh dear. 
What was your first album? Mine was Banarama's Greatest hits.
Probably Nick Kershaw's Human Racing ? We got a load of Beatles LPs given to us though... so that was probably the first I really listened to an album.
I mostly taped stuff off the radio in the 80's 
Bananarama were ace 
Nik Kershaw was ok. I liked The Riddle. 
Today I discovered that I can't spell Bananarama... after 30 odd years... 
Well... there's a lot of Ns to be fair
Is it getting cold up there?
Today... it has snowed.
*kermit flail*
Excited? If its going to be this cold it might as well snow... so at least things look pretty.
Yes. I went to the shops for snow. Not so snowy now. 
You went to the shops for snow? Eh? Wot?
Oh and JM is back on BBC this Sunday... in a Car Show [must admit I missed the first series of this ] http://www.radiotimes.com/epis...series-2---episode-1
I had cola, I didn't need cola, I went to the shops for cola anyway... because: snow!
Ooh... Good to know.
Yes, seems like ages since I've seen JM
Yes. Jezza has been on Amazon ads... alone. *disapproval face*
I love those ads though... "unbusy"
Hope they hurry up with this series... have they even started filming it yet?
Unbusy is nice. I think they have. No idea how long Amazon'll take to get it out though.
I miss them and their eejity stuffs No-one else quite captures what they do.
Exactly... they are the right combination of nitwits.
Perfect description *nods*
How are you? Migraine [ and bug ] free hopefully?
I've been good thank you... Just waiting for the next holiday/hopeful lottery win. *ahem*
How have you been? Watching any fun tv?
Doing ok thanks. Back to the treadmill and relatively healthy food, after my decadent festive period. Ummm... TV... I bought two series of Call The Midwife from Amazon. Its well written and anything with characters you care about is good. Plus there's a delightfully barmy old Nun who lives for cake.
Good for you. *applauds* I, on the other hand, baked chocolate fairy cakes on a whim.
I can't watch Call the Midwife... babies creep me out. 
Mmmm. were they nice?
Meant to ask you, what do you make of all the Jon Snow stuffs? It all seems like bluff and double bluff...
They were beautiful... if I don't say so myself.
I haven't been following spoilers or rumours this year for GoT, but they've started seeding L+R=J... so killing him off seems stupid.
You''re getting pretty hot at baking, well done Hitch.
JM's show was pretty good - seemed more in the TG style than his normal solo shows, or maybe that was just my imagination. There were definitely a couple of allusions made by JM.
It was good to see him though, I had missed that permanently perplexed way he has.
Oh! I forgot about that! I found a new cycle of America's Next Top Model on Now tv... and I've basically been watching that. It kicked off a bit. Exciting.
Ya can't miss that! Kicking Off is must watch tv
Yay! Winterwatch is on tonight! [ And for four nights ]
And on Wed, Thu and Fri there's Unsprung on the Interactive channel (601 on freeview) as well, just after the main programme.

Ta Fluffy 
Wonder how Martin slept during a blustery night in his tent? Marginally safer than the melting snow hole. Are they trying to turn him into Bear Grylls or something?
Martin needs to be left in a nice snug studio, with a lovely cup of tea.
Was good... but I dozed of during the mouse tests. Was there a maze?
Yep a wooden maze. Mice are pretty smart - and better at finding their way round than me
Martin is certainly earning his fee! 
Yes. Making him take his top off up a snowy, baltic mountain wasn't very nice.
I just caught the end there of tonight's (I'm iplayering), Chris isn't well?
Yes - just a tummy bug apparently. He was ok earlier in the day but not to go live.
Oh dear. Hope it wasn't something he ate.
I hear the winds up there were horribly high last night...
It was! He ate cheese he found in the fridge from 1967. Then produced a pie chart to show the contents of his... ... the results of that.
Yes it was so stormy at one point when they were sitting by the outside fire, it looked almost dangerous .
There was a clip of a red squirrel merrily eating at a feeder then a gust of wind just whisked it away. So sweet
Oh dear. Thanks, Chris... I'm sure that'll be fascinating.
I haven't watched it yet. I watch Agent Carter then feel asleep during my second Daily Show. Dozy me is dozy. *snores*
Awww Hitch, no wonder . One show at a time. Also you have to be in the mood.
I ain't even watched my Midwives yet! 
I am a marathoner. I caught up on all last night.
It had just been a long week... 7-7 on Friday. I did the locking up and everything. *nods*
Enjoy your mid-wives when you get to them.
