Never mind Gus Honeybun, what happened to Chester?

This is the answer to 'what do you get if you cross Lol Creme with Trevor Horn?'. Next up: Ram-raiding from Basingstoke...

Lack of a T8 Torx screwdriver (I was sure I had one) has saved me from an afternoon at swearing at the innards of a 2009 iMac. (I have T10, T12, T14, T16 up to T1024, but no T8).

People who should know better posting things that are not true. Having to sit on my hands not to get involved.

TIME FOR THIS BANGING MASHUP #TOTP

PLAY BEING BOILED, YOU COWARDS! Only record in this chart to mention sericulture. #totp

All gone a bit club style #totp

Peeeeeeeeew! #totp

Is this disco? #totp

ELO with Rockin' All Over The World. #totp

I'm pretty sure there have been number one records in the UK before this.
