Disappointed that the southern fried chicken wrap at the Home Bargains cafe contains cheese, but it only mentions this buried deep in the ingredients list and not on the outside of the packaging.

He also could have appeared on any one of the first nine editions of "Multi-Coloured Swap Shop".

PHWOAR *fans self*

The TOTP set with the light cascades was the best TOTP set, and I will take no further questions here.

And to the fine #forgotten80s faithful, it's been a joy to have been with you again tonight and I look forward to doing the same again with you next Sunday (with hopefully no technical gremlins to anoy me either!) - until then, have a good week - love and big hugs to you all!

Thankn you @matthewjrudd.bsky.social for another fantastic #forgotten80s tonight (and for the Ryan Paris request) Will carry over the Joe Fagin "That's Living Alright" and Dennis Waterman "I Could Be So Good For You" requests as well.

Tonight's #forgotten80s awards: 🥇 Dollar/Propaganda 🥈 Go West/Howard Jones 🥉 Stephen Tin TIn Duffy/Ryan Paris

Bloody hell, this Propaganda track is a most glorious cacophony. Volume very up. #forgotten80s

Yes, I know it's bloody Dollar, but "Hand held In Black And White" is a bona fide masterpiece. Trevor Horn's production is *chef's kiss* #forgotten80s

I've no idea what this has done to the Jomes/Kershaw balance, but "All I Want" is a magnificent sound that should have done much better in the charts than it did #forgotten80s

"Don't Look Down" is a fine noise indeed #forgotten80s

*rips it up* *startles Ken* Sorry, Ken! #forgotten80s

As ever, Alan Tarney Cliff is top quality Cliff, even the less well remembered ones! #forgotten80s

It's to the left of The Brighton, isn't it? Oh... I thought you were asking "Where Is The Hove" #forgotten80s

I love how moody and atmospheric "A Forest" is #forgotten80s

"You never give your heart to a stranger" - not even if they give you sweeties first. #forgotten80s

Ah, it's Ryan Mönchengladbach! #forgotten80s

Hello #forgotten80s folks, with you again, thankfully much better now compared to last week. Just battling with technology tonight thanks to a rogue Ubuntu update which has nixed my usual laptop, so am resorting to the Macbook...

Thanks @ssuburbs.bsky.social for another fine couple of hours of #sts70s goodness - will be back next week for more and nopefully won't be troubled by trying to sort out technology!

I bloody well ADORE "Lady Lynda". More harpsichord required in popular music, say I! #sts70s

Hello #sts70s folks, back again, fully recvovered after last week (don't get shingles folks, it's not nice) although may be intermittent as I'm trying to sort out Ubuntu issues after an update last night.

Today's ponderable (resulting from discovering a downloadable feed of GB railway station information with both CLS and NLC code information contained therein) Why does Liverpool South Parkway have the CLS code "LPY" and not "LSP", given that the latter was potentially available?

Pumpkin spice season? Pfft. Stuff and nonsense. Give me "hot Vimto" season every time.

And it's behaviour like this amongst people older than me which means the old adage "respect your elders" doesn't wash with me. I'll respect you on the condition that you're not a downright nasty spiteful reprehensible shitbag. Otherwise, piss the hell right off, you horrible little turd.

"So then it was, 'What do you think of Marx?' And I said, 'I think their pants have dropped off but you can't fault their broccoli.'" [NB the laughs are so loud you can't hear the end of this line. I only know it because I pored over V Wood's script books Barmy and Up to You, Porky as a teen.]

RIP Dame Patricia Routledge. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-iD...

"So I then told her - tapped her on the cleavage with a pastry fork - I said..." Another great Kitty, which runs longer because Routledge has to keep stopping to let the laughs die down.

If this is even only half as good as Justin's last book, then it will be magnificent! I look forward to getting my copy (and will be keeping a keen eye for it out in the wild too)

Happy Saturday Mornings Day! This was a pleasure to do to mark the fortieth anniversary. Let's hope there's something special to mark the fiftieth www.bbc.co.uk/webarchive/h...

The "pls update the ticket" comment, yep, all of that.

Bonus goodies from @transdiffusion.org? Yes please and indeed thank you!

Great, I now appear to have developed a somewhat nasty cold on top of shingles. Thanks, body!

For those who might not know, I'm part of a small community station called Noisebox Radio. We play music you know, music you might not and music you haven't heard for ages. If you've never tried it, tonight is an excellent time to start - not least of all because I'm on at 8pm. :) noiseboxradio.com

I remember one of my flatmates in my first year at uni had a Swatch watch with a 24 hour dial like this, which I always thought was really cool. (Yes, I know, I'm an utter wrong 'un. Send the authorities round to deal with me. Just do it after 2030 hours, when the little hand is between 20 and 21)

Hey @ricardoautobahn.co.uk - thought you may be interested to know about a small update to the story behind my TOTP records! (Yellow Pearl got played on F80s last night and my repost of the records is "doing numbers" as the cool kids say...)

And to the fine #forgotten80s faithful, it's been grand to have been with you again tonight. Am defintiely going to take some of the forthcoming week off to rest up (work be damned) and hopefully I'll be fully recovered by next week - until then, love and big hugs to you all!

Thank you @matthewjrudd.bsky.social for another great #forgotten80s tonight. Hope you're feeling better next week! (I'll carry over my requests for Joe Fagin "That's Livin' Alright" and Dennis Waterman "I Could Be So Good For You")

Tonight's #forgotten80s awards: 🥇 a-ha/Phil Lynott 🥈 David Essex/Haysi Fantayzee 🥉 Queen/Frank Stallone

This is rather frantic, isn't it? I'm rather liking it, whatever it is #forgotten80s

Well, Tahiti's cheered me right up, and I'm currently ill, so there :) #forgotten80s

Tahiti! Something tells me this may possibly be a @mango24.bsky.social request? #forgotten80s

(Yes, those are some of the actual records used in the making of the titles; I was VERY lucky to snag them on an ebay auction a few years ago. Probably my proudest possession!) #forgotten80s

*takes records down from wall and throws them into a box of dry ice* #forgotten80s

It's Will from the pub! Hiya Will! (I probably won't be at the pub on Tuesday, so I won't see him) #forgotten80s

The follow up to this, "The Sourest Mirage", was less well received #forgotten80s

This is a Christmas song to my mind, as i always associate it with the run up to the festive period in 1989 #forgotten80s

"This Is Mine" is magnificent (especially in the 12 inch version with the extended playout) #forgotten80s

BRIAN MAY BRIAN MAY! #forgotten80s

"You Are The One" AN ACTION TIME PRODUCTION FOR GRANADA TELEVISION Produced and Directed by STEPHEN LEAHY (c) Granada UK MCMLXXXVIII (Seriously, this just screams "daytime quiz show theme" and no this is not a complaint) #forgotten80s

Hello #forgotten80s friends, joining you from the sick bay tonight where I'm dealing with an attack of (stress related) shingles which are giving me quite alarming pains in one side of my head, which are most unwelcome. I think I'm justified in taking time off work next week...
