Had my flu jab! Apparently it is stonger this year as the nurse told me they're giving last year's over 65 dose to the over 50s this winter. Hopefully there won't be any side effects, like sudden urges to watch Last of the Summer Wine and vote Reform... 💉

Fancy starting your morning with some absolute FILTH?! Of course you do, so here's Bananarama at the 1988 BPI awards (the year after..) accompanied on stage by some scantily clad gents doing Love in the First Degree. The Royal Albert Hall has never seen anything like it! 😲 youtu.be/HNnYltqFFRk?...

Robots falling over are just the best... 😃

Repost with an iconic fictional band

Just woken up after a two hour sleep and things don't seem to have got any worse! This is progress! 😃

NEWS! Labour to introduce windfall tax on anyone rich enough to still be setting off fireworks in the middle of sodding November newsthump.com/2025/11/11/l...

Not that they actually call it third 'man' anymore... #OnlyConnect

To all those bashing the BBC right now - come and have a go at #OnlyConnect if you think you've hard enough

I'd love to have seen Jim Bowen give away £250 of Wagamama vouchers #Bullseye

Now looking forward to an evening of the BBC reporting that they asked the BBC for a comment but a BBC spokesperson said that nobody from the BBC was available at this time #TimDavie

For once it's not the Deputy Head that actually does roll #BBC

These must be the Remembrance fireworks going off now then... 🙄

What a week for new releases! Neil showing great taste about Strawberry Switchblade (although I disagree with him about ABC) and also looking incredibly cute in to the bargain 😃❤️

A quick artist question, please reskeet! If I’m looking to make my own art prints at home, 1) what sort of printer/ink system would you recommend, and 2) how do you take/upload a photo that’s print quality? Want to have a bit of control over quantity and timing. Thanks!!

Just watched The Long Good Friday for the first time in ages. Still an incredible film and script (with prevailing racism of the time). Bob Hoskins gets some of the best lines ever alongside Helen Mirren and a whole bunch of likely lads. And of course, that ending... 😬 youtu.be/1ldZUQFr_9k?...

"Where's your fucking poppy?"

What? You've never heard The Sign by Ace of Base played on a Dutch street organ before? Well let's put that right then and add some oompah to your Saturday. Also tracks available from Boney M, Bee Gees, Bon Jovi and many others. Absolutely magnificent! 😃 youtu.be/owAXxcx2uGQ?...

Well Yazz would say that as she's six inches taller than everyone else #totp

Sophisticated French Kylie. Always going to be a winner #totp

Let's Stick Together was a guaranteed floor filler at student discos (once everyone was pissed) #totp

Only saw a post about Tanita Tikaram this morning. Good to know she's still out there and always amazed she didn't have way more success. And you can't beat a nice oboe #totp

You could tell the ones who were 18 going on 40 at uni by whether they liked this #totp

Tusk is fabulous. So we'll get 30 seconds of it #totp

Feel sorry for the #totp audience when stuff like this is number 1. Their big night out ruined

Never quite got what BA was all about. And I don't think he did either... #totp

Legs & Co wearing all the sweet wrappers #totp

Lene Lovich - like Kate Bush after three Shredded Wheats #totp

I hope Lena Lovich scared the heck out of the poor little sparrow lot 😂

Weller and the boys. Proper songs for proper lads #totp

Lesser spotted Darts hit but still a tune #totp

Although this lot look remarkably unaffected. What was it with the late 70s and screechy school choirs. What happened to punk? #totp

Sparks doing their usual great job of scaring all the small children #totp

Waiting for a call from the GP surgery which may or may not come before 6.30. Feels a bit more urgent than their usual service which is slightly unnerving. Passing the time by binge watching the rest of #StarMaidens which is a glorious distraction... 😃

Discovered the Classic FM Pet Classics annual show for pussies and pooches who might be distraught by all the boom bang-a-banging tonight is equally useful for escaping all the Christmas commercial breaks on tv... 🎶🐩🐱🎇 #Fireworks

The Pet Shop Boys have read your posts

Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust has applied to Lambeth Council for advertisement consent to fly the the Progress Pride flag and the Transgender Pride flag (alternately) from the flagpole of St Thomas' Hospital, across the river from Parliament planning.lambeth.gov.uk/online-appli...

Oh I just don't know where to begin... 🙄 youtu.be/aU_zMvaX05Q?...

Well done New York! Good to wake up to some hopeful news from across the pond for a change! #ZohranMamdani 🇺🇲

Already sick of Christmas adverts. It's going to be a long seven weeks... 🫣

❤️

Things you didn't know you needed on a Tuesday morning... Judith Durham singing Georgie Girl with INXS (post Michael) at the Australian of the Year ceremony. Have a great day! 😃 youtu.be/eZ0q59sLy8A?...

Angela Rippon has just described a plank... #CallMyBluff

Peter Brough's wiki describes him as a popular radio ventriloquist of the 1950s... when people were obviously far more easily pleased #CallMyBluff

I've never heard Nerys Hughes sound quite so posh #CallMyBluff

At least we can feel safe that there'll be no mention of Pokémon in Call My Bluff later... #OnlyConnect

My first single was this 'classic' by The Goons bought from a small electrical shop in Seven Kings which also sold records. The Ying Tong Song reached number 9 in August 1973, and listening again now I can see how its sophisticated comedy appealed to a 5 year old! Enjoy! 😃 youtu.be/33-fVsL5Kdc?...

Oh wow! Sandie Shaw mocking herself, her winning song and the whole of #Eurovision. Nothing is going to beat that! 😃 #WhoDoYouDo

Haha Cilla! Except it's Janet Brown. Not bad actually... #WhoDoYouDo

Giving #WhoDoYouDo another go on Talking Pictures in a mo. It's certainly bad, but not the 'so bad' it's just plain surreal class of #WheeltappersandShunters. Apparently this week has Sandie Shaw as a guest. I've heard she does a great Cilla...

Congratulations India Women! World Cup champions for the first time after beating a brave South Africa. Shafali Verma led the batting with 87, then Deepti Sharma took 5 wickets including SA captain Laura Wolvaardt for another 100 in vain. Magnificent woman playing wonderful cricket! #CWC25 #INDWvSAW
