NTTBS & HHH 11th May 2008
Original YT playout date: 17 May 2008
Duration: 5:02:06
At over five hours, this is one of the longest if not the longest video on my channel. It is blocked worldwide because there are so many songs on it, as I did not edit them all out, this being too time consuming. It has been well-watched prior to that and was an excellent evening’s talk radio, including one very glamorous special guest.

Train of thought and hooligan caught
Original YT playout date: 11 May 2008
Duration: 12:48
My friends and I take a train to Krakow and enjoy the scenery going down. You’ll see a lot of apple and pear trees in blossom. Whilst looking at a palace we are selling I witness a person behaving in a hooliganistic manner. Despite his arm-flamenco, he is not as fast at hiding his face as my camera is at catching it, and so he is immortalised for his vandalistic deed forever. I didn’t manage to get his mate who pushed him over the hedge in the first place, though, unfortunately…

Historical NTTBS 6th January 2008 – Karaoke night
Original YT playout date: 11 May 2008
Duration: 2:59:54
Everyone remembers this as one of the greatest shows. You get a glimpse of Alan Caddick (known on youtube as Dustybin321), Trancemystic (known on youtube as lordmoggy) and others (I also appear a couple of times), Fat Steve, Steve Bentley, Stu and Matt in the studio as well as Randy Lawford (with a controversial entry) showing off their vocal prowess.
This show was really the decider as to whether the Tommy Boyd show could really keep on going without it’s eponymous hero. Above all it was probably this evening that persuaded the managers of PlayRadioUK.com to keep the Not The Tommy Boyd Show as a regular Sunday night fixture.
Up for grabs for prizes were Matt’s old jumper and a pair of socks from Polish (then) Joe.
Relive the excitement, and rate it through the roof!

Uncle Davey’s Cyprus #3/6 – I’d rather be poolside
Original YT playout date: 10 May 2008
Duration: 5:02
Third part of the Cyprus series focuses back on the poolside life of the Mediterranean Beach Hotel.
This was the first series put together by the way on Power Director and this part of my YT history kind of marks a transition to using Cyberlink, rather than MS Video creator. Read the rest of this entry
Aquarium in Warsaw Airport

Duration: 7:23
This is a new aquarium in the “Business Shark” bar in the departures area of the new terminal at Warsaw airport.
They have a snail problem – nothing a few clown loaches couldn’t solve, but then they might have to kiss their shrimps goodbye too…

Getting on and delivering Bablexit
On my article “On the Origin of Speeches” defending a literal Biblical understanding of the origins of languages, one reader, Everett, wrote a Comment:
This judgmental event of the confusion of tongues makes me wonder how individual persons could maintain pair bonds and keep their families together. If so that right after forgetting the adamic language and gaining unique replacements for every single person, i don’t see how a family could understand one another and stay whole unless the respective languages they spoke were similar enough to permit comprehension. Or else, if the languages/dialects were provided at random, how could a husband speaking Turkish, for example, attempt to communicate with his Welsh-speaking wife? Also a man in love with a girlfriend speaking gibberish may be forced to find a different woman to marry who speaks a language within his language family.
I think that this theory of every person receiving his/her own language apart from an ordered dispensation to unite families seems a little implausible, and perhaps detrimental to society ever reforming after Babel.
I for some reason found this in my feed again and wrote a new answer, and then saw that I had made an earlier answer back in 2016. I would now therefore like to make a new article combining the best of the old and new answers, which essentially say the same hing but focus on different aspects of the question.
It’s an excellent question.
First it is fair to point out that there were not any language families then. This came about only much later. Hundreds and hundreds of years later. Hence finding a new partner with one’s own language family just wasn’t an option.

What’s up, ducks?
Original YT playout date: 9 May 2008
Duration: 3:40
They are obviously still very much in love, but sulking. Each is hoping the other will turn around first. They miss each other, although they are only two feet apart, it may as well be another continent.
