Ask Stewart Osborne

OK, I found the main one Only Ones: Classic or Dud?

There was another one that came and went but I guess we have to sacrifice that to the Google Idols.

Dear Stewart,
Does the phrase "fallen at the first fence" come from equestrianism?

Sincerely,
There's The Old Gray Whistle Test

Aintree (where the Grand National is run) has many fences. The first one is very easy, fooling inexperienced riders (and horses) into thinking the race is easy. The second fence has lower ground on the other side. So, those that fall at the first fence really did not have the capability.

Out there in the night is about a cat.

Yup. As per this thread Songs about pets

I think Stewart should come back and post.

I wish

He's on facebook if you want to chat to him there

Dr C i keep asking to come back too
