I don't know about professionals like Joe Glasper, but, you know when they talk about electrizititty, do you prick up your ears, like me?

Pardon?

Well, thankfully my ears are still attached to my head so,,,,,, no need to pick them up.

I am lost too.

Sorry, you blokes, given the propensity for members of this forum to appreciate Benny Hill style posts, it occurred to me that:
Electricity = Yawn
ElectriziTITTY =

I can make wee tiny lightning bolts with my finger.

Look

... how's that for eccentricity, Mike

Us? How dare you, sir!

When I was growing up in the 50s and 60s, we did have a milkman (who delivered every day including Christmas Day) called Ernie, though.

Dear Outraged of Portsmouth,
Are you the listener who complained about my friend playing "The Sun Has Got His Hat On"?
If so, you should have been watching the ABC documentary about the history of Australia's immigration policy, where a 1950s man-in-the-street stated that we don't want those N######s or C######s here, do we? He obviously hadn't heard of the hash sign, because he said the words in full, AND the ABC didn't bleep them out, though it is now 2020.

To assist you in understanding airspeed humour, there are some simple steps to follow:
1. Locate the four screws which attach your brain to your brainbox.
2. Remove any three of the above, and discard.
3. Slacken the fourth screw, but do not remove entirely, this is important.
4. Test the brain in a light breeze, to ensure that it swings freely.
5. Insert the modified assembly up through the nostrils.

Note that this does not work in all cases, so make a backup before you start. ....maybe that should be at the beginning?

Thank you Mike for helping me to understand Airspeed (a name dear to me as I was a regular visitor to Portsmouth Airport in my youth) humour. It's clearly a sub-species of the genre that I'd never come across in my 70+ years but now, thanks to you, I feel my education is complete. You have my eternal gratitude!

An Enlightened Pete of Portsmouth

PS as you know - I think you're the only CBSF member who's ever listened to one of my programmes or, at least, will admit to having done so - I 'work' at Angel Radio where we often play The Sun Has Got His Hat On in all its original glory and, as far as I know, we haven't had a complaint yet! Maybe there is hope after all!
