Just before Trump pardoned him, along with Gary Glitter, Hitler and Ming the Merciless.

Ah, there’s some stuff on those I don’t have. Pray tell.

I know. You’d have thought I’d have learnt after I scrolled down too far when I was checking what time the market opened in Wuhan.

Didn’t realise the YouTube link was right at the top, so I scrolled down too far and saw that Sylvain Sylvain has died of cancer.

Well it just about beats the videos my daughter took of me and the boy doing 3 feet, 4 feet and 5 feet of the Malteser tape measure challenge. I had that tape measure for over 20 years but broke it doing the 5 […]

At the risk of completely collapsing this thread under the weight of the video clips, here’s two of Ms Ellis-Bextor’s best.

I could go on forever choosing Frankie remixes. When I listened to my iTunes library from A to Z a few years ago I got to Frankie and listened to 20+ versions of some of the tracks. My other favourite Two Tribes […]

Macy Gray with added Gang Starr and Mos Def

After Movemenet I don’t mind Barney’s singing, apart from on live albums when he starts all the whooping.

I love 80s remixes, even though some can be a bit clunky. They actually sound like different versions of the song in question, whereas later you can listen to remixes and not have a clue what the track is that’s […]

Interesting question.

I’ve gone through my top 100 and I reckon I bought at least 35 of them in their first year of release, 17 of which were on their day of release. The earliest of these is 1984 for year of r […]

Crikey, I hope this doesn’t give Lodey any ideas that he might still be able to steal top spot for Taylor Swift.

I’m afraid that Jimmy Greaves’ MBE is one of those that brings out the hypocrite in me. I abhor the honours system. It’s where all the political party donors get their knighthoods, or retired politicians get them […]

It’s a good album, but wasn’t one I immediately loved, considering I’d spent months listening mainly to jazz (catching up for the 50 years that I didn’t!) and was looking forward to this one a lot. It is growing […]

And a little boy shoving his fingers in his ears before the gun goes off in the café scene!

Joey was a mainstay amongst insults during my school years. To further prove that my school years were full of insults and terms that were absolutely shameful, spaz, spacker and flid were regularly bandied round, […]

I don’t know why, but the use of the word Herbert in this way always makes me laugh. To the point that I couldn’t use it myself because I’d laugh before I got to the end of my own sentence, like wot some of the c […]

There used to be a thing at Sheffield City Hall in the 80s where there’d be regular shouts of ‘WALLY!’ around the auditorium prior to the band coming on (not sure if it happened elsewhere, cos that’s the only pl […]

Definitely still used in Yorkshire, but we have lots of words that make no sense to anybody not from God’s Own Country.

I must admit, when I was flicking through the catch up bit on Sky last week I noticed a short programme about Tommy Docherty and thought it was a bit random. But as a bloke who sat and watched a 40 minute […]
