52 years and not ONE Valentine card…
but f*ck that – there’s new Chaka Khan!

I’d like to have The Wall – but who can I get to pay for it?

Isn’t TF about getting blammoed on drugs and wanting to dance your ass off? And, if so, is this video that far off topic?

I can never hear that expression without thinking of this SNL sketch:

Dude, there’s a strict rule that the AW can only go so long with a thread that is at least tangentially about The Beatles – I find it’s easier if you don’t fight it..

Yes – the inevitable early grunt work of the “overnight sensation”.
There’s also the episode of Quantum Leap where Sam tries to gift a frustrated songwriter The Beatles’ She Loves You, but he tries to “soften […]

Cute idea. Might stretch to a Twilight Zone episode. Like this one:

Synopsis, cos I know you can’t be arsed:

You know there’s a very lucrative job on Trump’s staff waiting for anyone so quick to misrepresent an argument to support their own agenda.
They’s a talkin’ about hairy-assed gee-tar bands and how the young ‘ […]

Absolutely. Headcase drivers are MUCH more of a threat to life than wreckless cyclists – I was just wondering, assuming helmets do provide an extra level of protection against head injury, what the objection of […]

While I get the whole “cumpulsory” thing – i.e. being subject to a fine, say, for not having one – might p*ss people off, I don’t get from these posts what folks have against helmets.

Isn’t Sooty’s voice just Sweep’s after a few squirts of WD40?

They chuck away shoeboxes?!!
But where do they keep all their old football programmes and concert tickets?

In recent years, I recall “I’ll just watch this bit” becoming “hold on, this bit’s good too” and ultimately hanging around ‘til the death for The Great Escape, Midnight Run and Aliens. And, in each case, more than once..

Steak and Kidney casserole? Is that artisanal Fray Bentos?

Fear Of A Black Hat:

Now they’re showing Being Boring by the Pet Shop Boys but Phil’s already used up his “unplugged” joke on Tubeway Army…

Clare Grogan is reading out phone numbers with her sexy Clare Grogan accent. We never had that…
I was just thinking “the old Swap Shop desk” when Monsieur Jupitus admitted the whole set up is a bit Saturday Superstore..

Ooh! I meant to add I very much enjoyed American History’s Biggest Fibs with Lucy Worsley despite being occasionally unhelpfully diverted by the pale presenter’s apparent fear of the sun (and, if she does have som […]
