Gerry from Fix My Sofa wonders why some men were called Mary in days gone by. Michael says boys in Victorian days were often dressed in pink. Sean in Ballymurphy says that's not true, he has photographs of that time and everyone was dressed in black and white.
Sean thought it odd that the camel can't swim when it's called The Ship Of The Desert.
Wee Tee says the camel's hump has food in it, not water but Sean can't imagine the camel putting potatoes and beans inside it. 
Raymond in Scarva would like Sean to take that George Ezra CD and throw it over the hedge.
A pub in Coalisland has a big glass bottle on display with a fully grown Bramley apple inside it and the Pawnbroker doesn't know how it got there.
Music from George Ezra, ABBA, Statler Brothers, Andy Fairweather Low, Suzi Quatro and more.
