    As kids (well early-mid teens) we'd spend all day tapping the phone into Teledisc - a great service from Hull City telephone system. First one I remember was the Everley Bros "Cathy's Clown".

    they wanted the number that was easy to locate in the event of no light or smoke.

    starting from the low end:

    111 wasn't used as it could be triggered accidentally by line faults
    222 was the the number of an exchange, and so on

    from other end:

    000 couldn't be used. The first 0 would connect you to an operator which defeated the object
    999 was next, and that's what it became

    Old enough to remember the Bangles? This is what a 60 year old Susana Hoff looks like.

    The word "stiff" has more than one meaning.
    The closer one gets to being one kind, the further away from having another kind (semi or otherwise).
    Miserable world it is.

    Cos that's what we'd all end up with; a ricked back.


    Crawling off stage left, flushed with embarrassment.





    She on the other hand looks stunning.
