Please throw a shilling or two towards this if you are able to!

When your parents tell you that they were looking into going on a cruise for their Golden Wedding anniversary in 2027, but while at the travel agents forgot when they were actually married and nearly booked it for 2026 instead... 🤦‍♂️🤣

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant hapus i bawb! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Here's some suitably stirring music to celebrate the day. youtu.be/yYOxBncgmLQ?...

Trying very hard to be less angry on here, but when you see such shenanigans as what's gone on in the White House tonight then my life it is hard not to be anything but incandescent with white hot furious rage.

Apparently we lost Andre Previn on this day in 2019. Here's what I posted on FB at the time: (and the piece of music in question is this one: "Rhapsody In Blue" by George Gershwin www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pl3...)

"In bingo lingo, clickety-clicks, it's time to take your pick of the six!"

🎶Because there's music in the air, and lots of loving everywhere, So give me the knight...🎶 (Yes, it's a little known fact that Rod Temperton was a massive regional ITV fan and he wrote this as a protest song about the Belmont ITA transmitter being switched from Anglia to Yorkshire in the 70s)

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Sad news from the quiz world. RIP Chris.

The postie has just delivered a rather nice parcel from the folks at @transdiffusion.org. The simple fact that some of the literature enclosed features old-style STD codes in letter format (eg '0JE 4' instead of 0534 for Jersey) and original format Norwich postcodes has made me grin inordinately.

A draw in OQL tonight, not really what we needed. 3 matches to go to get us out of relegation, but with 5 points between us and safety (with 4 points for a win) and our next match against possibly the strongest team in the division, I feel the cries of #NathanOut may well start getting louder soon

I met Henry Kelly on several occasions when he had the mid-morning show on BBC Berkshire. He seemed a gentle soul, like an Alan Partridge with all the unpleasantness taken away. We talked about clouds and Northern Ireland. www.bbc.com/news/article...

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Ah, that's sad news. I'll be playing the full version of the Going For Gold theme later as tribute (which is, in my opinion, Hans Zimmer's magnum opus and I am not taking further questions on this)

The kid next door has procured a recorder from somewhere and is out in the garden playing it - by which I mean blowing the same sodding tuneless note OVER AND OVER AGAIN *twitch*

One from the playlist "Songs that are crying out for a CHA CHA CHA at the end of them"

Nice little postcode explainer here (even if they do forget that there's another postcode area beginning with O in the UK) Also, Ireland... I applaud your combined sheer madness and genuis with your Eircode system.

Right. Transphobic asshats have got a petition to repeal the GRA to over 10,000 signatures. Fuck that. Let's get this one higher: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

I still answer with the last 4 digits of my number due to a crippling childhood stammer. Although spam calls get my best Dame Hilda Bracket style "Stackton 295".

Educating my USA coworkers today on the subject of UK postcode areas and boundaries, and the way Southport's reluctance to be associated with Merseyside bit them in the arse somewhat during second lockdown when PR postcodes stayed in a higher tier than their Scouse neighbours in the L area...

Final 4 weeks of the current OQL season are upon us, and the combined division 3 table sees us just inside the relegation zone as the bottom 4 teams go down. I can't help but feel that, as captain, my head is very much on the block here. Here's hoping we can avoid a #NathanOut situation

And to the fine #forgotten80s faithful, it's been a joy to be with you once again, and as I begin my 10th year as a listener I thank you all for being a part of my Sunday evening since 2016! Until next week, love and big hugs to you all!

Thank you @matthewjrudd.bsky.social for another great #forgotten80s, and for being part of my Sunday evenings for the last 9 years - think I'll stick around for a bit longer if you'll let me!
