A Norwegian band called Chocolate Overdose. They were first on stage on the Sunday at Glastonbury 1992. One of their lyrics is seared onto my mind. "She takes advantage of my hard-on / She takes advantage of my balls / I feel like I'm roller-skating". We thought it was a roadies' joke or something.

Reform UK are refusing to explain why Nigel Farage posed for a "Christmas drink" with far-right activists, some of whom took part in a violent attack at a church. One of the men pictured with Farage was convicted of assault by beating last month, after storming an anti-racism meeting at the church

Imagine if Depeche Mode had been given their own computer game like Frankie Goes To Hollywood were - this could have been the loading music. As for what the game would consist of, God knows. Hiding away your PVC fetish-wear before your Mum finds it, probably.

I had the daft notion I might cut it in academia. In the first lecture of my master's in linguistics, the guest speaker filled a board with equations, then rubbed them out and said "It's easier to make this point if I use reverse Polish notation". Knew on the spot I was fucked. Went into journalism.

No idea, but it reminds me of the time when the FA almost forced through a merger between Brighton, Reading and Arsenal. They decided to call the new team the Bright Red Gunners, after the first name was rejected.

Love the tale that repairmen in London used to chalk LEB OFF on installations where they'd cut off the electricity. Schoolchildren thought this was slang scrawled by older kids, and started telling each other to "leb off".

Brilliant bit of guerilla advertising from Sir Paul McCartney, sneakily sneaking a kid dressed as him in the 50s into a Google Streetview picture holding a big sign advertising his new premium rate telephone chat service. Love it.
