Spike, it's a good word, but I developed a tendency to overpost 💩 clues and am cutting back on entries.

(Thanks paul, but we've had to postpone - one of the friends we were meeting in Shropshire has gone down with COVID. We hope it will work out in September instead.)

Ok, I can tell the joke now…

pi and i walk into a bar and get talking.
pi tells i to “get real”, to which i replies “be rational!”
e walks in and says “why don’t we all get together?”…
And so they became - one

Like it jono.

Paul #19: Good point! And well done for getting votes for 3 different clues.

Well done geezer.
Thanks for the clips and for hosting spikepunk.
X-ray specs takes me back to school

Congrats geeker and thanks spike - and for the vote, Paul.

Thanks for the clips too. The first one reminded me of "I've had this spade for 50 years - it's only had three new blades and five new handles!"

Many thanks to mattrom, jono, paul, jimmy and chrise for votes.
Grateful to spike for the challenge, hosting and clips.

Enjoyed the Poly Styrene clip, first I've seen/heard of her (noticed references on prior threads but didn't follow links)! Bit of a shock after the prior two highbrow videos, but jump-started Sunday afternoon..

Congrats Geeker and thanks for the challenge Spike, cheers all.

Congrats, Geeker, and thanks to yourself, Jono, Paul, Jimmy and Chrise for the votes.
Thanks also to Spike for the challenge and the clips, especially the "Psyche" one. As a child. I was fascinated by Greek mythology. This is one of the few with a happy ending.
