Which songs are your least favourite UK # 1s from 20th century ? OMI - Cheerleader - it irritates me no end. Off the top of my head “It Wasn’t Me” and “House Every Weekend” would be high on the list.

Today is the 38th birthday of Teo ! What are you more likely to do ... A) listen to Cheesecake 38 times before his next birthday ? B) eat 38 cheesecakes before his next birthday ? I don’t think I have ever listened to it again since it was in Eurovision, so give you kudos for recollecting this Belurussian beardies birthday. So I would have to plump for option B - and looking at my lockdown weight, it’s entirely possible to be true.

Coffee or Tea? Which do you prefer? Tea. (Even if the SA tea is not in the same league as the tea in the UK) I have a strange relationship with coffee - I mean I like it, but not a lot of it, so need to get it over and done with quickly, so opt for espressos. And even then max one a day and before midday, or I’m wide awake all night.

From these three songs only "It Wasn't Me" can be count as 20th century song, because was released in 2000 year.

Why is South African tea not as good? Do they grow their own? Do they mix it with something else?

When you have a common popular name you can buy lots of things with your name on (or people can buy them for you) - a mug so people know it's your mug, a sticker for your bedroom door so people know it's your room, an identity bracelet so people know you're you. What have you had in your collection of named (or initialled) things?

My mam likes it though.

Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck?

The part when the beat kicks in after "I hear you calling me at night" gets me *every* time.

Which girl group is your # 1 ? Tough call.
I would say Bananarama - Girls Aloud and Sugababes would be a very close second and third.

In fact I have now decided that I want a horse-sized duck as a pet, so I am going to quickly Google and see if I can get one locally, or have to resort to genetically engineering one in a lab. Which would be a bit of a chore tbh.

What have you had in your collection of named (or initialled) things? I don't see my name on things very often. Though my work colleagues did find a pen with my name, which they bought me as a gift. In fact I am using it this very minute writing down notes on a Teams call.

And giving you Sparkle Deelyboppers for middle names was asking for trouble ! Which Eurovision entry would you most liked to have shared the big stage with, as one of their (not hidden) backing singers ?

Being called Tarquin McSparkly-Deelypoppers does have its drawbacks, especially at immigration - and it’s an extra cost charge per letter if we are going posh if I wanted it laser carved into a ruler or pen or park bench. I would have loved to be one of Rasmussens Viking beardy and slightly out of time backing team. I think I’ve perfected the raise up hand and down and clinched fist which would have gained them a definite top 14 win.

Big over the ear headphones or little sticky-in-the-ear things?
