Greetings from Chris, Gordon, and Phil as we commence a podcast-season of BTDT trivia.
On this day, we celebrate our extra hour of sleep as we re-set our body clocks from ‘summer time’ to ‘normal time’, which gives us extra time to change the batteries in our smoke alarms, plant our spring bulbs and celebrate the variations in our seasons.
In Europe, the pagans have celebrated spring and fertility with dancing around the maypole, and for 1500 years the Olympics weren’t presented as they were considered by the new Christians as being too pagan.
Notable gay birthdays and death days this week include TV host Graham Norton, actor (Sir) Nigel ‘Yes Minister’ Hawthorne, UK radio/TV star Kenny Everett–died 4/4/95 (the subject of the Buggle’s hit song ‘Video killed the radio star’) and US singer/songwriter Janis Ian a dykon from the 70s/80s.
We finish with a feast of Cavendish bananas…
Plus other trivia and mirth …
