We all love word searches, and we all love Half Man Half Biscuit. So, in the spirit of Christmas, here is a wordsearch to commemorate all who have fallen to the Biscuit Curse over the years. There are no clues for the names you are looking for, you’ll just have to figure them out for yourself, all 31 of them.

The solution is below…..

I’m sure there must be a damn good reason for me buying this, but I can’t recall it. And for the record I was sober. For a change.

A bit of investigation has revealed that this is an Electone FE-30, from way back in 1984. Thankfully I’ve found the manual, as Yamaha keep all their old manuals on line, so I can learn how to work the thing!

As part of a bet I have agreed that I have to buy, and learn how to play, bagpipes by New Year’s Eve.

Luckily, I only need to learn one tune: Auld Lang Syne.

In the words of Top Gear: How hard can it be?

Stay tuned…

Let us face it, everything annoys me all the time. But currently some things are more annoying that others.

DNS:

Arsecakes. Fifteen years ago I could write DNS records in my sleep. Actually, I frequently did, but don’t tell Staffordshire University that, as they may want my wages back. So why is it that now I have no idea what I’m doing?

Ebay:

Okay, so I’ve identified myself using my credit card, and now you want another form of ID. As I don’t have a landline number, I click on the “identify yourself by credit card” link and… HOLY FLASH H. GORDON, you’ve taken another £1 from my card! Well, my auctioning friends, you can sod that!

Guitars:

I have quite a few guitars.  I own probably more than it is healthy for a non-musician to own.  My favourite, for a long time, has been a Spanish 3/4 size acoustic that a mate gave me about 15 years ago.

It survived 3 house removals, but sadly, it didn’t survive falling off it’s stand.

Broken Guitar!

I’m hoping that given enough strong glue I can fix it.
