Yeah, car wanker, just drive on through when my disabled OH and I are already on a zebra crossing, then 😡

When I worked at Halfords they put most tools in locked cabinets and the rest with security tags so you couldn't take them off the hooks. We got so much grief because customers had to ask us to get them for them.

My local supermarket now puts empty boxes of certain alcoholic lines as a security measure. My OH, who works there, just mentioned it to a customer, who exclaimed "That's a load of rubbish!" and *threw* the empty box back on the shelf.

I say it every week when looking at new music, but there's some cracking stuff out there right now. Just some of it is going on the radio tomorrow night...

Just a part of the fourth birthday celebrations on @noiseboxradio.com Yeah, we're almost old enough to start school 😬 #NoiseboxRadio

Awful news about Glasgow Central, I'm still hoping the station itself escaped serious damage. But while we're here, can anyone spot the problem with the news photo below, from thetraveler.org/glasgow-cent...? We've really got to STOP using AI to fake things.

Top of the Pops (8th March 1984). Bananarama are at number 38 with Robert De Niro's Waiting

40 YEARS AGO TODAY: "Siouxsie Sioux and Budgie on Wide Awake Club" is a statement full of promise enough before you see the pair joining in with the marzipan cooking make, admiring an otter and backing the world hackysack champion with a bowed cage.

The ever brilliant Mark McMillan (of APFS) has launched a website that should be catnip to TV presentation fans. 182 reconstructed TV clocks!!! www.mcmweb.co.uk

I work in a bookies. This made me almost spit my tea out just now. Commentator on a greyhound race: "A good performance from the bitch."

🎼 Well, you're damned if you do (what are we talking about?) Well, you're damned if you do (where's your sense of humor?) Well, you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't. (BAAAART!) Let me start at the start and take it away... 🎶 Yep, I'm a dork too. 😆

They did a lot of this in the first series, but now it's only for the new events, and even then only on their debut.

One thing that I love about the #Gladiators reboot: they don't waste time explaining how the rounds work - you just know. Nice to have a TV series that values viewers this way.

Always here for Atlaspheres #Gladiators

Fury really is a joy. ❤️ #Gladiators

We should bring back the Darwin Awards and rename them The Dubai Awards.

Guy Mowbray's voice is on BBC One earlier than scheduled. Football's into extra-time, innit? #Gladiators

This.

You should have a word with my brothers. They were about the same age and properly obsessed.

Yeah, I still know all the lyrics to 'Do the Bartman'. And 'Deep Deep Trouble'. Yes, I was a 9yo boy. No, we didn't have Sky. Yet. Yes, I got 'The Simpsons Sing the Blues'. Yes, I still have my copy. #totp

'In Yer Face' outsold by Free feels wrong. #totp

This mix of 'You Got the Love' is the best one IMO. #totp

I remember this Jesus Jones song purely for the "Jesus Jones" nametags in the intro that most hip-hop acts later adopted. #totp

The Almighty video filmed in one of those quarries that missed out on #DoctorWho going on hiatus to use as a filming location #totp

I remember listening to this - most of the "oldie" pre-1990 songs in previous lists had all but disappeared #totp

I see from the hashtag that I've missed my performance on #TOTP in 1991, oh dear.

Another advert song #totp

Tonight’s #totp 1991 brought to you with the help of the number 19.

Over on the bird site, my love for 'Unfinished Sympathy' was my most-shared #totp message. My view hasn't, and never will, change on this masterpiece.

This got back in the chart thanks to Spearmint. Wrigley's; not the band, sadly. #totp

Always a joy to see Jakki/Jackie Brambles hosting #totp
