[Joey Shabadoo]

I'm a bit flummoxed at this

" I was non-plussed to see how many CChatters were ignorant about the word non-plussed."

Hope that makes things clearer.

It's not that funny.

I thought it meant “not bothered”. Which is the US version.
The UK version means surprised and confused.

Yes I'm on the American version too for some reason.

That Elvis had a twin brother, died at birth apparently.
I didn't know that until yesterday.

My wife shocked me yesterday.
She didn’t know Eminem spelt his name like that. She thought he spelt it M&M.

There's a bloke called Ken Bruce who is apparently quite well-known, at least in the UK. Unless it's just the BBC making a meal of the fact that he's leaving them.
Also, that people listen to Radio 2. I assumed it was, like the old Light Programme, just for grandparents or the terminally senile.

He probably did. I suspect he had to change it for legal reasons.

14 million listeners. Perhaps Sir is not aware of the commoners' past-times?

You've reminded me of the old pub graffiti: "Don't complain about the beer - you'll be old and weak yourself one day."

You've reminded me of a pub at New Quay which once had a menu board outside with the enticing message: "10 million flies can't be wrong".

Usually accompanied by "... eat sh*t!" - the landlord was probably wise to leave that bit off.
