Confession: I literally got up and walked away from a 30+ year fandom at the song and dance routines.

Scotland has 16 professional football leagues and none of them feature fish as players. That's because there are 20,000 leagues under the sea.

Messi is eloquent, intelligent, and measured in this interview I’m watching on the MLS app. Zane Lowe gives him space to breathe and to answer, which is essential in any good interview. I *suck* at interviewing. Like, just horrible. But I know a good one when I see one.

I was delighted to discover that one of the sung jingles my radio station uses is actually “it’s out to-day….. the new Radio Times!” I smile every time it plays.

Having a great time (despite my face) broadcasting live at the Fairmont State University day of giving. Also. Ecstatic that my note cards look like I’m hosting a tv quiz show! Can I have a P, please, Bob?

One of the most 80s things I ever did was to record an Erasure concert off the telly and onto a C-60 cassette in a boom box, using a 5-pin DIN cable. What's the most 80s thing YOU can remember doing?

Does Spotify have “The Ballad of Chapped Lips Calquhoun” by Sideways Hank O’Malley And The Alabama Bottle Boys? I bet it doesn’t.

I don’t watch MSNBC, but it seems that - and correct me if i’m incorrect - Joe “Kissed The Ring” Scarborough still has a full research and production staff on his show where other, more critical shows, have been decimated. Did I miss the story about him?

Lovely comment from a listener today: “Sometimes you just have to have fun. Spend money on memories not bills. I know this isn't the best advice for being an adult but I can tell you that I remember that trip to Disney but I couldn't tell you what bill was late because of it.” Thoughts?

I’ve been browsing Amazon and pricing microphone stands. Beat THAT for exciting, James Bond.

Genuinely surprised that there's not a trace of "Morris Minor's Marvellous Motors" on YouTube. I suspect it wasn't nearly as bad as we gave it credit for at the time, and we all gave it quite the kicking. A meringue?

NP: The Beach Boys, Kokomo. I have a scenario in my head where the Beach Boys finish recording Kokomo, and then sit back in their studio chairs and light a triumphant cigar. Eventually, someone says, "finally.... FINALLY... we've managed to eclipse Pet Sounds."

Circular thinking: The 1959 movie "Operation Petticoat" featuring Tony Curtis made me think of "The Persuaders" which has an amazing theme tune and sounds a lot like Portishead, who I love and who come from Bristol, just like Cary Grant who stars in...... "Operation Petticoat".

Regardless of use, and god knows I’m no font expert, but to me, this will forever be a Big Breakfast “2”.

The best part of “Take On Me” is when Morten goes ‘in a DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE’ and I will not be convinced otherwise.

Fun little geeky radio fact about Irish political party Fianna Fáil in the 1980s. Check it out in the alt text of the image.

There quite simply is no dignity in a grown-ass man in his late 40s, using a wooden spoon microphone, and dancing around the kitchen miming along to Massive Attack’s “Unfinished Sympathy”.
