Any idea of what time it's going to start? Trying to work out if I'll be able to travel up in the morning, or whether I'll need to come on the preceding day.

In (ahem) Carly Rae Jepsen's classic hit "Call Me Maybe", I swear she sings "I missed your school bag, I missed your school, school bag." Something to do with satchels, I expect.

Having done a quick google-stalk of Mildred, coupled with the fact that the episode is one that was recapped from a sound-only recording, I suspect it's the wiki (shock horror) that has the wrong spelling.Ryan Taylor wrote:Assuming you may have spelt her surname wrong
