    But today is Lynn’s day, and what a tragedy that the one person who can’t be here is Lynn’s mum, Peggy, who is dead. We didn’t see eye to eye. There was a lot of bad blood… which coincidentally was one of the complications she had at the end.

    Christ, I cannot wait to listen to the audiobook version of Nomad. Have listened to "We need to talk about Alan" about 8 times.

    I did not win the Alan Partridge quiz :(
    came 3rd.

    It was a tie for first place with the question of "Who is the representative of Dante's Fireplaces" which I did not know so Im not too bitter about losing.
    We only got 4 questions wrong (and 3 of those were parts of answers) in the whole thing too proving how high the standard was. Michael (Simon Greenhall) was a terrific host though and most importantly of all it was great banter, it really was

    Were you guys at a different event? Stupidity having it set-up in the smoking area. Our table (and most of the others it seemed) could not hear a thing. That's the first I've of "Who is the representative of Dante's Fireplaces" being even asked. Simon looked like he couldn't wait to get the hell out of the place.

    Good buzz it was not. Terribly run event, pity those going tonight.

    ahh I was kinda near the front so I could hear everything and I was with good mates too but yeah, I can understand if you thought it was sh*te.
    and they got questions wrong - Alan decides to call his house "Ye House" and they said it was Excalibur Cottage and in the Michael quote about the Monkey he first says "threw it in the sea" and in a later bit says "hoy'd it in the sea" but here they said he said "hoy'd" originally which was just bang wrong

    I was there up the front so I didn't have any problems hearing it like a lot of people seemed to. Definitely wasn't organised brilliantly, but it was a good night with some nice touches.

    Ben: Bang & Olufson? Wow, that's serious, man. Whose is it?

    Alan: It's mine.

    Ben: I didn't know you were into music. I know you're a DJ, but I've heard your show.

    Alan: Oh, yeah. I like all the bands. I've got a broad taste, you know. From the britpop bands like UB40, Def Leppard, right back to classic rock, like Wings.

    Ben: Who's Wings?

    Alan: They re only the band the Beatles could have been.

    Ben: I love the Beatles.

    Alan: Yeah, so do I.

    Ben: What's your favourite Beatles album, then?

    Alan: Tough one. I think I'd have to say...'The Best of the Beatles'.

    Ben: Gum?

    Alan: Yeah, cheers. So, who's your favourite singer, then?

    Ben: Oh, anything, really, you know. Frank Sinatra, Kurt Cobain.

    Alan: Who's he?

    Ben: Nirvana. Blew his head off with a gun?

    Alan: Why?

    Ben: He was depressed.

    Alan: Why, were they not very good?

    Ben: No, they were great.

    Alan: Oh. Someone should've told him.

    Yes but it sounds like the other way. It's a joke that doesn't work in text form.

    Just stumbled upon this Partridge podcast yesterday called "Monkey Tennis". Four fans go through each episode of I'm Alan Partridge. Seems good so far!
