I work in a cinema and see a lot of unpleasant things after a movie. For some reason for me the worst are the little piles of nails on the arms of chairs. Doesn’t happen often, but does happen!

I may be part of the problem there… thought I’d accidentally unsubscribed, so resubscribed then found out I still had my original subscription so unsubscribed my resubscription! I guess that’s a net equal… but, well… sorry!

A Venn diagram showing the Beatle songs (released 1962-1970) that didn’t feature all four Beatles.

Just found this - I did it over ten years ago as part of a planned bigger project and never posted it anywhere at the time.

I used to get my haircut with my dad. He always paid and left a little tip. As he got older, the price went up and he didn’t notice. So for about a year he underpaid by a couple of bucks. The barber was lovely and didn’t say anything. First haircut after he died I settled up plus actual tip.

Oh my goodness! Thank you so very much for digging that out. That was better than a Time Machine! I would have been 8 and we’d have just got a telly. Funny how things stick! I’m all emotional. Petula Clark’s place is indeed at number one!

I have a vivid memory of Down Town regularly being played in the Broom Cupboard on CBBC when I was a kid… goodness only knows why! Or if I’ve imagined it. Great song, either way.

Oh man. It’s so hard. You are dealing in an area where people have a near tribal love of specific musicians/bands. Football fandom is the closest analogue I can think of. If you compliment Man Utd but not Liverpool you are in SERIOUS trouble. It’s not rational.

I’ve got Chris Wood on Dear Mr Fantasy Woodwind Quintet. (Bit of a stretch?).

If I’m already a subscriber (through the app), will Apple take the 30% going forward? And should I therefore cancel and resubscribe? And and and… that’s it really! (I didn’t make the Fairport episode joke just in case you thought I was serious!).
