Moment of fleeting pleasure amidst the dross of the Tracy plotline. Dad/Ken B in background reading this crossword clue aloud - I didn't get all of it though.
"Verdict: (something something) around man" (I think)
Camera close up on Tracy.
Ken: "Oh I get it, these things stare you in the face and you just don't see them."
He doesn't say it but I think the answer must be: GUILTY as in guilty verdict.
The GUY is the man around but didn't get the rest.
Amused me

What??????????????

Yes I heard him say that. I wasn't concentrating enough to hear the clue in detail.

I just love LOVE the way they reinforce the fact that Ken is 'very clever' by having him do crosswords and be seen with weighty tomes under his arm. Or references to the fact that he 'has a bit of reading to catch up on.' Fab!

Finknottle - may I just ask about your name. I've kept meaning to ask you - it's nothing to do with PG Wodehouse at all by any chance is it?

dp (never watches corry) yelling at tv: Guilty!

TinyGang, yes, I am Gussie Finknottle
The Ken/Blanche spats are so funny, mind you, Blanche is just brilliant with anyone.

Excellent! You have traded the Drones Club for Mumsnet

I imagine getting life/house/car insurance in Coronation Street must be virtually impossible.

Yes, and I have no newts in my bath any more. Only half a hundredweight of children's plastic sea animals

Ken Bruce on Radio 2 was talking aout the clue this morning but i didn't catch what he said.

Yes it was GUILTY - something to do with a man, information technology and left, I think.

It was guilty, they had the clip on Harry Hill's TV Burp.

Spent afternoon infront of telly with hangover/cold.
