  1. How un-PC can you get?

    Looks like a Les Toil picture.

    On the subject of Led Zeppelin I have BP Fallon my facebook friends list and have chatting with him about Johnny Thunders quite a bit. Anyway BP Fallon used to hang out with Led Zep (and everybody else) a lot back in the day and he has been posting some fabulous pictures of that time - like this one of BP and Sable Starr at the Continental Hyatt House, Sunset Boulevard (a legendary hotel in rock history) in 1973:

  2. Another gem

    Reminds me of hearing this at my brother's wedding do:

    I am not keen on that version. I prefer the original without Ofra Hazah(sp?) - the guitar is less produced and it seems more venemous. Always reminds me of saturday nights at the Phono in Leeds during the 80s where they would often finish the night with this, Liberator by Spear of Destiny and Vengeance by New Model Army - heady days.

  3. What's particularly impressive about these results - although not particularly new - is that they were achieved despite a paucity of newspaper coverage previewing these games by comparison with rugby league's competitor sports.

    What might the ratings have been if rugby league coverage had been even a fraction of that afforded to the football, cricket and rugby union games?

    Hopefully what remains of the "rugby league press" will not be shy in making mention of the game's televised popularity in the days leading up to the game's Grand Final - "correspondents" in other sports wouldn't hesitate in doing so.

    The lack of the much hyped domestic union competition in any of the Sky Sports top 10s for the week will mean the cone of silence will remain

  4. Interesting that the Sunday night game was far and away the most popular.

    I can't see the clubs involved having that much impact - are we (or Sky) missing a trick by not filling this slot regularly. Although I accept that it is a poor time to actually attend a game.

    Having 2 games on a saturday will have split the viewers so most will have watched one or the other but not both

  5. Now they are concentrating on expansion, it would be far easier if it was viewed by 10 times those figures which it would be on terrestrial TV. But then they wouldn't get the millions would they, they would probably get better sponsors though. If memory serves the CC games on the BBC were regularly viewed by 4 million or so. They need to get SKY to sell more coverage to the beeb at a sensible price.

    The Challenge Cup is still on the BBC

  6. Sky Sports 1
