Way up ... at number thirteen ... you will have seen ... that Joi Bear ( look out Morten and Vidar ) is our second, accomplished young lady to have reached One Million Metres for the season.

Joi - x 1,000,000

As usual Joi, some first class rowing.

Peter, I do not recognise the lyrics but from your generous clues, is it a song by The Faces?

This next one has become sort of my theme song (unfortunately). Or at least the chorus has.

Guessing again but could it be I wish I knew when young what I know now or something along those lines?

Lesley, you have every reason to be proud of your latest achievement, especially as it’s already faster than your PB of six years ago.

Wishing you every injury free success with your sub2 500m attempt and your sub8.30 2k attempt.

Out of interest, what DF do you use for sprints?

Whether Guy takes the High ‘ Rowed ‘ … or Guy takes the Low ‘ Rowed ‘ … he has still rowed a load … more metres than most of us, after reaching Two Million Metres for the season. Guy - =D> ^O^ x 2,000,000 💸💸 Great going Guy. :) 8) 👍 Sailing under the flag of The Dancing Dog … Karl Meyer has been abl...

For Colin Brinkman … no lallygagging … because … he’s been too busy bagging … another million metres, which brings his total to Two Million for the season. Colin - =D> ^O^ x 2,000,000 💸💸 Sterling effort Colin. :) 8) 👍 Dwayne loves putting the erg through its paces … as he still races … ahead of you ...

Holding his position at number nine … Colin Kelly … crosses the line … to be awarded with his first Million Metres for the season.

Colin - x 1,000,000

Great going young man.

For Ilse Van Oyen ... not long to wait … as up five places ... to number eight ... she becomes our first lady to reach One Million Metres for the season.

Ilse - x 1,000,000

Congratulations Ilse, that's an excellent start.

Will Dwayne … still reign … supreme … as Master of The Meterboard? He has certainly made a great start by being our first Free Spirit to reach Two Million Metres for the season. Dwayne - =D> ^O^ x 2,000,000 💸💸 Can Colin Brinkman, at number two … overtake ... :-$ ... you know who, after achieving One...

Thank you Jan. :) At school, although I enjoyed playing and taking part in various sports, indoor rowing will always be my favourite. I hope too that I can keep going and not waste precious opportunities. After all, who knows how much longer I have before Old Nick comes to claim me … 😈 :fsbgrin: :fs...

Peter, I'm stuck on Bill Withers and Lovely Day although I know it's not that. Possibly, several songs begin with When you wake up in the morning? As for a misspent youth ... I wish. :fsbgrin: When the Swinging Sixties swung into our village, they stopped, took one look ... and then kept going. :lol...

I have enjoyed temporarily looking after this thread, it has given me a great deal of pleasure but I will not be able to do so for this season. I wrote the above after I had injured my knee and it looked likely that I would have to hang up my virtual oars and part company with you all. Since then t...

Lesley, thank you for your words of encouragement. :) I still have a tendency to be over cautious - think ‘ sloth speed, warp factor 1 but give it a little longer and I might actually hit warp factor 3. :lol: Joking aside, although it’s still a slow process , I have put far too much time and effort ...

Peter, could the band be The Monkees?

If correct, then apart from the show's theme song, I can only remember the title of two others: Last Train To Clarksville and I'm a Believer.

Well done Lesley. :) =D> It’s good to read that your aspirations’ list has been updated for all the right reasons. Great start to the season and I hope that you will continue to make steady and successful progress. :) I tell people that I have managed to get off to the season with a flying start … b...

Narrowing down the options massively with this clue - Pixar movie

Plummy, guessing here, as I haven't seen the film; is it Toy Story Three?

Jill inspired the choice by using 'Message in a bottle' by the Police. On that one there is a very long fade out with "sending out an SOS" repeated many times. The very final one of those, and the volume has to be turned right up, is "sending out an ESSO Blue". True. Thank you Steve, I never knew a...

Steve, I think that the penny might have dropped ...? I'll send an SOS ...

Well done Steve.

I am being a bit dim with regards to the ' Esso Blue ' reference, even though I'm ancient enough to remember the advert: Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom ... Esso Blue.

Thank you Peter.

I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my

I think that this must be Mr Tambourine Man?

I have enjoyed temporarily looking after this thread, it has given me a great deal of pleasure but I will not be able to do so for this season.

Peter, if you look up Paddington Bear on Google all will be revealed.

I did check out certain details about the film before putting up my original post.

Here are a few of the main facts:

Distributed in the UK ( 2017 ) by Warner Bros, then worldwide ( United States 2018 ).

Ian, you have won a month's supply of marmalade sandwiches.

Over to you.

More clues:

1: A much loved ( by some of us anyway ) fictional character is wrongly accused of a crime and sent to prison.

2: Marmalade.

Another line:

Put your paws in the air.

There is one particular scene in the film where some people, myself included, had to dab their eyes with a tissue.
