Agree this. Also, I am very interested in any artist who sounds a lot like Nick Lowe….

You guys are all missing something marvellous here @soundloungecio.bsky.social in Sutton with @sophielukacs.

Channeling your inner Ronnie Barker there, Justin!

Faces for me - never saw Ronnie Laine and regret being born too late for that reason. Also maybe the Idle Race, see Jeff Lynne as a bright young thing, if it was before he left. Maybe just too late....

Kid Jensen’s evening BBC Radio 1 show was my regular homework listen. One night he played Radio Free Europe, Cattle And Cane by the Go-Betweens and Lions In My Own Garden by Prefab Sprout all in the same half hour, first time I heard any of them. Greatest radio show of my life.

Best I can do is:
Tom Holland (actor not historian)
George Melly
and
Steve Punt

Recorded with one, bumped into one with my suitcase in a queue at Victoria Station and went to one’s birthday party.

Would be nice to have all the North Ends in the top flight!

Preston will be 60+ years if they ever clamber back up. Blackpool must have been about 40 years before their one season back in the top flight?

Simes: “Some people are saying the Tansley School Choir are over…” #TotP

*Searches in vain for Groan emoji....

“Mother of 2” is the one that annoys me. You very rarely see “father of 2”…

Is Mrs Fred going to be like Mrs Mainwaring, one of those characters we hear about but never meet? I do hope so!

Waiting for Our Town | bridgeman The Welsh National Theatre’s outstanding production of Thornton Wilder’s play on at The Rose Theatre currently. Well worth going - if...

I believe all cats should be named after characters from Damon Runyan stories. I believe Rochester Red to be a good name for such a mog.

I never understood why Colourbox weren’t huge. Made my top 5!

Thought about putting in Super Rail Band in then opted for the Bhundu Boys instead. Tough call.

St Patrick’s first design for the box cheese-grater was subsequently criticised for being form over function.

“Hello…
Good evening…
……and welcome…”

… which is where players who genuinely know what they’re doing and with all the necessary gear play a team game but are more worried about their own personal averages.

A cricket match typically features village characters who haven’t played since they were at school and are ignoring their partners’ warning that they’ll do themselves an injury at their age. In borrowed pads and gloves, likely no box. It will be testing for them, but is not a Test Match…

Steam Packet for me, chance to see Stewart as a boy wonder. Then back to Manor House the next week to see the other boy wonder Winwood.

In some households it is a competitive sport. These two are Harry the Horse and Liver Lips Louis.

Slade just before they hit big time and Osibisa for me. But Yes and Queen at Kingston Poly would have been a 2p ride each way on the 213A bus, so tempting for that reason alone.

That’s a call. It didn’t seem that way at the time, they were a band of late night Peel shows and ethereal works like Spangle Maker seemed the pinnacle then (to me at least).

I remember a very early appearance on the Wide Awake Club that I saw in à freezing hotel in Newquay around that time.

Post something from the 80s
