Free aeroplane, that would have me in such deep thoughts the lolly would have melted. I did like a Buccaneer, and the Hawker Hunter was gorgeous. Not sure how I'd have got one into my bedroom though

Not sure about the strangled seagull noise on this Level 42 track, otherwise it's decent #forgotten80s

My school friend (and neighbour's) dad was an A&R man for A&M records. My dad got a bunch of jazz albums from him. #forgotten80s (I've only just remembered this after 30 years ..)

Well a warm welcome to you!

I displayed an open graph image and had to pay how much?! - Alistair Shepherd A media company demanded a license fee for an Open Graph image used on my twitter archive. I gave in and paid it, but what does that mean for open graph images and copyright?

This is absolutely absurd copyright trolling.

Wish @eff.org or similar went to bat for this kind of stuff.

Vanilla, don't understand why it gets such a bad press. It's gorgeous and complements the creaminess beautifully
