Sorry.

  1. Both said "An error occured. Please try later".

    What a beautiful statement on life and the human predicament.

    Where is Michael Rodd now anyway? Did he go into his brother Dyno's business?

  2. He's about to become a father and he'll carry the child in a rucksack.

    He's made a Rodd for his own back.

  3. Which is the topical one, Geoff?

    The footie or cheap cheese?

    I'm off to check the day's news stories to find out.

  4. The football one. Look up Andy Gray and Richard Keys.

  5. Michael Rodd set up a film company called Blackrod. I suspect there were many disappointed companies.

  6. No.1 would be Rohan Kanhai, West Indies, 1957-74?

    (But seriously, does/did Rodd have a partner called Kurt?)

  7. Tim - He could at least have used a double d.

    Christopher - They were a great double act on the business speaking circuit.

  8. I was wondering what they did at uni; she kept cheese in her case so I guess Bus. Studs.

  9. They're boring enough, aren't they?

    I'm still patiently waiting for some working class accents so I can take the piss out of them as well.

  10. I LOVE the cheap cheese shortie.

    A classic. I hope it becomes as big as it deserves.

    My students would love it!
