Only a school one about 8 years ago I’m afraid. I was an ugly sister. Photographic evidence exists…

Just sorting through some old music and I’ve discovered I own a cover version of Donna Lewis - I Love You Always Forever, that sounds EXACTLY like Los Del Rio - Macarena. I kid you not!

We very much enjoyed this last night. My Mrs laughed more than I did - which is high praise. Disappointed not to see the MIRA showers advert with the young family from Crewe, who said “only a MIRA will do”. Though I’m the only person on the planet who remembers it, so it was a faint hope…

I’m struggling with this because I keep thinking of UK garage tracks and I can’t justify saying The Launch is worse than Babycakes or Do You Really Like It…

Inspired by @ricardoautobahn.co.uk’s thoughts on The Launch, I’m going to work out my least favorite dance chart hits. There are very few dance hits I don’t like. But there are some… I’m not including sub-genres like UK garage, as that’d fill the whole 10. Hmm, maybe 1….

Greedy eBay bastards day. A few years ago we were queuing up and they were appearing on eBay before we’d even got into the shop ourselves. Even saw people photographing them in the boots of their cars…

Had to leave #TOTP for tonight as I’m watching Coventry hopefully batter Blackburn in order to help us get out of the relegation zone…

Dodgy Chinese food?

Is this the Leeds Warehouse Mix? #TOTP

I used to really fancy Lolly and was never sure if I was meant to… #TOTP

Hepburnbugs… #TOTP

Thunderbugs was the first name Carol Lee Scott chose before settling in Grotbags… #TOTP

As I recall, at the time, everyone wanted Sixpence None The Richer hung, drawn and quartered for this cover? That right? #TOTP

It’s in my Top 10 least favourite dance tracks of all time. And I like almost all dance tracks from that time! It’s just a replay of Barbara Tucker…

Trying to remember the last time there was a largely instrumental dance ‘track’ in the charts like ‘The Launch’? #TOTP

The kids certainly aren’t alright if they were buying this shite… #TOTP

Yup #TOTP

“This is very Where Do You Go” says my Mrs… #TOTP

September - the height of summertime… #TOTP

Fuck the album chart… #TOTP

Did they only have eggs for Enrique to wash his hair with before going on? #TOTP

This week’s Top 20 ignored dance track… #TOTP

I did this last year! So why don’t you? #Popmaster www.channel4.com/4viewers/pop...

Great episode. Rat of the Year sounds like it should be the title of a Spray single. As a Cappella aficionado, Kelly O didn’t sing a single note on any Cappella track. Rodney didn’t even rap a single word either - he was miming too! Also, I heard a story about Berri and Liam Gallagher at The Brits…

Berri? BERRI? Man alive…

I say ‘big’ but it’s the one in the bedroom as I can’t be arsed to go downstairs…

Cheers sir. The one thing worse than working is not working.

I’ve got some time to kill before a job interview, so will have a look now - on the big screen…

Me too. I made the final of series 3. In other news, as a NOW! fan, I thought you might be interested in this that I wrote. One day I might write part 2! amzn.eu/d/085i6J60

Yeah - got to be. Series 2.
