    Any news on a 2010 calendar? I haven’t heard anything about it.

    If there were going to be one, I imagine we’d have seen it by now – 2010 calendars are already all over the shops…

    Shall we do a month each?

    There may be too many of us. But we could use this thread to suggest pictures for each month, and then someone will the know-how could get it made! :)

    Don’t Dave have some kind of merchandising arm that could do a BtE one?

    If so then they’ve missed the boat, it’s far too late for a 2010 calendar now.

    I like the idea of a fan-made calendar. Maybe we could all submit pics/suggestions/captions, etc and then take a vote for the 12? It doesn’t have to be straight RD pic, it could be original artwork or a cartoon or whatever.

    I’m sure you’ll all be pleased to know I’ve found the big carrierbag of TV listings magazines from April, containing the Radio Times, TV Times, What’s On TV, TV Quick, TV Easy, TV and Satellite Week…
    There are 29 different ‘new’ photographs altogether, although some of the best ones are, annoyingly, too small to draw. :(

    try scanning them at a high resolution and then print them again to make larger copies. wont be perfect, but probably good enough to achieve what you’re wanting.

    Thirty days hath September, April, June, November and September;
    Of twenty-eight there is but one, and all the rest have thirty-one
    Except Geldof which has at least 27

    The version I learned has an old-fashioned ending which no-one else I know seems to use:

    30 days hath September
    April, June and November
    All the rest have 31
    Except February alone which has but 28 days clear
    And 29 in each leap year

    The “clear” might be a bit of a filler word, but it works! I was yelling that version at the TV screen when the mnemonic was mentioned on QI and Alan Davies finished on “Except February” then complained about it not rhyming. :(

    Mnemonics only work if the clue is in the rhyme!

    Anyway, the way I learnt from my mum:

    Make two fists and put them together in front of your body.
    Start left, count your knuckles & valleys between them, each being one month.

    Left hand
    Jan – knuckle
    Feb – valley
    Mar – knuckle
    Apr – valley
    May – knuckle
    June – valley
    July – knuckle

    Right hand
    Aug – knuckle
    Sep – valley

    The outy bits say 31 days and the inny bits say “less than that, usually 30” and the February bit I was just about able to memorize.

    We always used to say “30 days hath September, April, June and dull November, All the rest have 31, excepting February, 28.”

    There was a version which had a leap year bit on the end, but, let’s face it, all in all, it’s a shit rhyme.

    Don’t keep us in suspense, how does it end?

    The version I learned was

    February has 28 days
    Except on leap years when it has another
    Everything else has more than that

    Very helpful, and it rhymes in its native Russian.
