I agree. Correct definition. I wasn’t saying Egroeg’s name is a palindrome, or that “sdrawkcab” (my pun on her signature) is, just that they were clues to spotting a song made up of palindromes from its title onwards.
Oh. I didn’t even notice how they might be clues! Sometimes I’m really slow.

Isn’t it weird how the word they came up with for palindromes isn’t one?

Offline Palindrome comes from two Greek words: palin = again, drome = run through
There’s at least one other word using “palin” — palingenesis — being born again (i.e., reincarnation).

I imagine it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility that someday the Netherlands will have a gay king — so they can restore “Queen’s Day” after all…
Our new king has 3 daughters, so we’ll have a Queen again some day.
Palindromes are fun.

Offline 1962 – 1970 Beatles round on Mastermind. All the long and winding questions were basically name the song or album except one which boiled down to who produced Instant Karma (not inside the time frame and not a Beatles question) and one which was what were the numbers on the Please Please Me single? Might as well ask me how many a’s are both sides of it.

I couldn’t see the video that egroeG embedded – youtubes are blocked here at work – but I’ve no doubt it’s Weird Al’s wondrous “Bob”. I think it’s so cool how he actually managed to find palindromes that actually RHYME! And kinda make ‘sense’ (in a 1965-66 Dylan-meaninglessness way). And sing it just like Bob, too – and “Bob” itself is a palindrome!
GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

Offline No i havent heard it yet but i can guaranteed another great song is about to be badly beaten to an inch of its life and ensure you have horrid flashbacks for months at such a butchering. One Direction are covering Blondies One Way Or Another. Save us all, please. Tho no doubt any criticism is forbidden because its for charity (Comic Relief)

I didn’t think this needed its own thread, so I’m posting it here.
Patti Boyd- is it Patti or Pattie? I thought it was Patti, but in Anthology it’s spelled Pattie. I’m confused.

Hats off to them! If the driver was stupid enough to park in an area cordoned off for construction, serves their right. You gotta love the ingenuity of the workforce. Least the driver didn’t come back to find themselves with the bill for a day’s lost work.

I really hate stupid people. They shouldn’t have made a ramp for the car to get out, if the guy’s rude enough to park there, he should have to wait to get his car back.

Offline The workers should have waited for the individual to return and slow clapped them as (s)he get in and drives off. Complete idiocy. Maybe there was nowhere else to park and the train was arriving any minute. Either that or some businessperson who normally parks there and wont be told what to do by some snotty worker and their bit of tape.

Offline The Superbowl is on and after watching the last Quarter and enjoying it a lot wanted to watch it but got to be up at around 8 in the morning. Anyone know when the game itself will roughly finish as the bbc coverage is scheduled to end at 4am which is too late.
Edit: Forget it. Beyonce is due soon and im not sitting thru that.
