I love finding and collecting old reviews that have a touch of irony about them. This was written by one Paul Screeton, for the Hartlepool Northern Daily Mail. October 1977. Punk was not his 'thing'.

I was once whingeing to Paul McCartney that I'll always be known primarily for the Wombles. Straight-faced, without irony, he said, "Yeah, I have the same problem with The Beatles".😂

Re-Christmas battle for UK number 1. Wasn't Last Christmas the number 1 last Christmas? Or is Last Christmas the number 1, this Christmas? It seems like only Last Christmas that Last Christmas was number 1. I do wish they would change the record. Last Christmas, is just sooo last Christmas.

A lot of people will tell you we're a Roman Palace. We are in fact a moon-sized super-weapon capable of destroying a planet. (Better with sound).

I just found a newspaper photo of myself in 1989. I don't remember being there. I don't remember it being taken. What is interesting & sad is that those were the days when Inverness Museum had an archaeologist. A curatorial post long axed. They also provided an outreach service & point of contact.

My grandfather was a spy in WW2. In December of 1943 he managed to infiltrate Nazi Headquarters in Berlin by disguising himself as a Christmas tree. He was the only soldier in the war to be decorated by both sides

Part 2 of when you confront a scammer, who happens to allegedly be an Admiral/Chief of the American Navy etc.. The pleasure here was all mine.

This made my day..I'll probably be cloned on FB in revenge. I can't believe that there are still women,& men out there, who can't see the catfishers, especially when they use the identities of high ranking naval or military figures. When a random person starts giving scripted compliments you know.

@mikebatt.bsky.social This is a 59 secs. sample of Prince singing 9 Million Bicycles live with the piano removed. Alas Americans always spoil music by unnecessary whooping, cheering and being annoying, instead of shutting up whilst people are singing quiet songs. (Sorry Americans).
