Probably the report on the infestation of horses on the London Underground from The Day Today - especially Chris Morris's sign-off when they cut back to the newsdesk.

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing

Father Damo! #totp

"Oasis or Blur?" I asked, trying to discern a mirage in the desert

Day off and want to remember when your bones didnt hurt every time you cough? Or maybe you're working but doing the bare minimum out of protest. Listen to me today at 11am on @noiseboxradio.com for an hour of indie music from the 90s and SHOW THEM ALL!

But “left-wing virtue-signalling” is what I want to vote for? It’s left-wing and it’s virtuous, that’s why I like it

Bingo is a work of ludicrous genius. #totp

A room full of drama teachers suddenly perk up. #totp

Astronomical - a catchy and upbeat Spray tune from our favourite year, "yester". open.spotify.com/album/31T7h0...

Bored? Game? Either way, listen to my indie music show on @noiseboxradio.com Tuesdays at 8pm (repeated Fridays 11am.) Its no trivial pursuit!!!!! Hungry Hungry Hippos etc.

1989. Much simpler times...

For all the resurgence in late-90s fashion over the last couple of years, it's been a long while since I've seen anyone in those yellow-tinted specs. #totp

This has got off to a cracking start. If you have a spare hour, please listen!

A House.

Reminder that in Bananaman we gave the bad guy an AI machine that sucked in art and spat out crap

This is a reminder of just how much more enjoyable All Saints were than the Spice Girls. #totp

Quite different from the original, I suppose, but not in a good way. #totp

Mariah's singing her song again. #totp

Even though it's hugely overplayed, it's still been quite pleasant to hear Tubthumping twice in the space of an hour. #totp

Good to see another fan of Animals that Swim. #totp

If you're enjoying the #totp editions from 1997, 1988 and 1980 - and even if you're not particularly - but you still like looking back at pop history, do consider my book, a day-by-day calendar of pop: #DontStopTheMusic.

FILM PITCH: A Danny Boyle film set in a world where Wet Wet Wet never existed. It's basically just two hours of people celebrating. #TOTP

For an act of their size and stature, U2 have almost no distinguishing features. Almost every record of theirs could have been made by a dozen other dull bands. #totp
