      Twitter has just gone Gerry Rafferty mad, stating that he has just died. Although I have yet to see any official news stories. If so RIP Gerry. Baker Street used to drive me mad as a child. Sure we will be hearing plenty of it if the news is true! :rose: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/jan/04/gerry-rafferty-obituary[^]

        Nope, not on this occasion, looks like its genuine. The Guardian has posted his obituary.

          How odd that the Beeb is so far behind the times. Oh well, it's a real shame. A glammed up version of Baker Street was a staple of our act because it's such a great track.

                            Of course you can. It's at the top of the stairs, first on the right. Don't forget to put the lid down afterwards and make sure you've flushed.

                              Indeed he did, but he wasn't the first Bond. That, apparently, was played by an American as Jimmy Bond.
