1 Bloody hell. What happened?
2 Pass...
3 Yes. Or at least I haven't tried recently. At primary school we used to do sums in lots of different bases.
4 For some reason I want to start singing 'Istanbul to Constantinople'
5 Probably not physically, but metaphorically yes.

I don't really know it, only the start (or possibly the chorus - who knows) - for some reason I have the Muppets in my head but that doesn't actually mean they sang it...

Could it be Istanbul (not Constantinople), which has a very catchy tune which I now can't get out of my head. (Grr! But at least it's better than the Dogtanian theme tune which was plaguing me yesterday.) I know it's on Youtube, since I found it last year, but I can't give a link at the moment, since I'm at work.

I am barely aware of Dogtanian (although I did - briefly - see yesterday's discussion). I must have been doing something else when it was on tele.

I was thoroughly scarred when I read the real version and discovered that Juliet was the wife of D'Artagnion's landlord, and they had known each other about five minutes... I kept thinking "Well *this* didn't happen in Muskehounds..."

I know the Three Musketeers from The Banana Splits.

That'll be it!

And thanks for the Dogtanian earworm...which links to Willy Fogg in my mind. Oh, 1980s cartoons... *sobs*

Hah. 1985. Was at Uni already, no TV.

Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks.


(It's nowhere near the Caspian Sea though. Black Sea - yes. Sea of Marmara - yes. Aegean Sea - yes. Caspian Sea is miles away.

There's a rhyme from the Crimea at the back of my mind, but it's refusing to come out.
