Shakin' Sorry Shakin' Sorry is a game for 2 to 4 players ages 6 and up. It is a fast-paced, easy-to-learn, dice version of Sorry!. The game comes with 17 dice. 16 have the standard Sorry! colors - blue, yellow, ...

@chartmusictotp.bsky.social I was recently on the excellent website, BoardGameGeek, looking for a game I once had called Sorry! Imagine my surprise when I discovered they'd made a spin-off game...

Finally, one of the weirdest music TV clips - as discussed in our episode with @simonprice.bsky.social - has resurfaced.
Gary Numan on Jim'll Fix doing Music For Chameleons while a haunted child circled him slowly in an electric car with torches for headlights.

With the latest episode in the books, we are running like BASTARDS at our new live show at the London Podcast Festival. We're getting close to selling out, so the time for fannying about is getting shorter. FLAGS AND BALLOONS, POP-CRAZED YOUNGSTERS!

#76 (Pt 4): 12.8.82 – Humpty Dumpty Is Big Eggy | Chart Music: the Top Of The Pops Podcast David Stubbs, Taylor Parkes and Al Needham – still far too young, still far too clever – finish off this outstanding episode of The Pops

CHART MUSIC #76 FINAL PART: We bring this devastating episode of TOTP to a close with the sight of Zoo being sidelined, the fertility rite of our age, and deeply erotic encounter from 1985. TUCK IN, POP-CRAZED YOUNGSTERS;

Oh God, absolutely staring us in the face.

By the way, we can't stop fantasising about a duet beween her off Orange Is The New Black - seen here in Nolan Sister incontinencewear on David Essex Apostraphe Showcase - and Eric Smallshaw. What suits best - You Don't Bring Me Flowers? Lucky Stars? Bonnie and Clyde?
