Listening to the retro #Absolute80s chart of December 1988 - which I taped off radio back in the day!!
I love Adam Ant but good lord Ant Rap was terrible #naughtynorth #sexysouth #absolute80s
Good luck to everyone playing #Whamageddon and/or #Harkageddon. I'm going for the double this year. I'm listening to slightly less #Absolute80s than I used in favour of country, for some reason, so that might help a little. Last year #BBCWiltshire broken me on day 1!
2hrs ago I was barreling up the M4 into the sunset singing along with #Absolute80s feeling young & optimistic. But now I'm back to being me.
