Only a few weeks ago I heard @benbaker.bsky.social play a version of the theme that had a second verse! Mind. Blown. (Well…a bit!)

Never got to the walking round bit. Kept giving the wrong response name over the radio when challenged.

First single since ‘Razzmatazz’ I didn’t buy. I did get ‘This is Hardcore’ but for me it was over.

There’s an episode of Grange Hill where a teacher explains to a pupil the concept of dyslexia by getting him to read a Pere Ubu album review in Melody Maker!

Hasn’t they tried to release it in the early 80s? I think GMPs James Anderton impounded the lot. I’m sure there’s a quote from Dudley Moore saying ‘the cunt never gave us them back’.

It was called ‘ a night on the town’ in some territories. (Weirdly I’ve just had a conversation on here about this very fact!)

I don’t mind him as a presenter (even though he did slag off Kraftwerk!) but the quiz needs putting to bed.

That’s interesting because I always thought ANOTT was the US title. They must have switched it back to ‘Adventures in Babysitting’ for the VHS (box only, the film still said ‘a night on the town’)

I think all formats were pretty unplayable. You could die on the first screen simply by exiting the screen to the left instead of right.

I remember Aldi around 1998 didn’t have barcode readers but also didn’t individually price items. Instead the person on the counter knew the price of everything and they were FAST.

Wasn’t his partner on the show Julia Hartley-Brewer or have I just added another layer of wrong to this?

I’d never heard of ‘splitting the G’. Now I do, your pushing the fuck over services are appreciated.

If it had been on Channel 4 somebody would have it but as it was an ITV trail… I mean nobody’s recording and keeping Blockbusters are they. Are they?

See also Shiver & Shake. I got the annuals well into the 80s despite the fact the actual comic folded in the early 70s.

I think that was a specific issue ofOink that was weird themed with all the strips being drawn by different artists, printed in the wrong colour etc..,

This is the 50th anniversary blu ray cover art for ‘Blazing Saddles’. They just don’t care anymore.

If Colman’s didn’t use ‘The Cutter’ they missed a trick.

The only vaguely famous one I remember was Jason Hope (Rod Corkhill from ‘Brookside) opening our Gala and I think that was a favour as one of the scriptwriters sons went there.
