Memories - RIP Ruby.

I would just like to add my congratulations, Gerald, on the festive website - superb - I cannot imagine how many hours work has gone into that. Only problem - my computer is filling up with snow!

Regards to all,

Don.

Good try Graham - but it has got to be on a single for a gold star.

Best wishes,

Don.

So there's a new challenge for us - who can locate a Jones Boys record???

For those who missed the programme there is a repeat:- Legends: Alma Cogan - Fabulous 1/7.

Well done Graham - go to the top of the class and hand the rulers out!!!

Whoops - sorry Gerald - that should read NOT ALLOWED!

Sorry Gerald - Red card for that! Now allowed.

Hi John,

How about 164?

I make that two to go!

Not a teaser as such, as there are no definative answers, but I just wondered how many pairs of Ruby's song titles you could find to link together- for example:- "I'm in love with the boy next door" - "Johny Gray". No restrictions on the number of times a song title can be used with different pairin...
