A little 🇮🇳 Indian get together for dinner, all on one plate with plenty of seconds available.

Prawn Chettinad
and Basmati rice, Chicken Madras and Pilau rice, Gunpowder potatoes.

Yes a mini beef roasting joint was £14 in Tesco recently. Twice the price of a couple of years ago.

I'd have thought every food in an M&S was top quality. What's wrong with their meat?

I've been to M&S.

I think it was @dick777.bsky.social on X who called it M&Expensive.

Ring any bells?

On the face of it the Big Ben clock has always been a magnificent timepiece.

Particularly as it's 'loosely' a cover - inspired by 5-4-3-2-1 🤔 really? Oh I get it - 1-2-3-4-5 🙄

Ah well that title belongs to Burger King. And they do double Big Macs these days. When it suits them.

I put up with all the scenes but this is one scene that's going to be played my way.

Yes even against Senses I will be happy if Soft Cell make the final with this magnificent pop ballad.

Today in 1981 I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when someone told me about the release of the new album by The Human League.

So I dared to slip out down to Our Price to grab myself a copy.

Home-made (not mine) Big Macs. I'd definitely be slipping extra onion and a slice of 🍅 tomato in there.

Breakfast is always tricky as I don't like cereal. Which then points to something like the triple bacon and double egg sandwich I made yesterday. Thinking about cholesterol I don't want to be doing that more than once a month.

That's okay. I've replied with a nice photo of cheese and tomato on toast which I'm now eating.

There's food for the thinkers
And the innocents can all live slowly

It's all tricky from here. But a fresh start Monday with Singles 1988.

Images are playing up.

I wasn't sure you would see mine.

And now I can't see yours.

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly...

Didn't you have Mud singles like me?

I'm watching Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em

The only time I saw stand up Asteroids and Space Invaders were in amusement arcades but I'm sure there was table top Asteroids.

Avoid table top Haemorrhoids where you had to sit down. 👍

Oh I say!

Apparently it was a console made by Binatone which would have had the 'bats'.

I definitely played it but the ultimate for me growing up was table top Space Invaders

I could play it because children were allowed in the Conservative Club.

I mean it's not like there were USB ports to plug your controllers in.

Who remembers?

Of course you do.

But I can't think of how it worked how you moved the 'bats' - there were things you held in your hands to do it like a controller?

On this day in 1982, Ultravox released their sixth studio album Quartet which featured the singles 'Reap the Wild Wind', 'Hymn', 'Visions in Blue' and 'We Came to Dance'.
