When I was a kid, I couldn't distinguish the primary and backing vocal and for years I wondered what a " perfect harmonova" was.

Giving 1972 a run out. The last year a man visited the moon, and my last year at primary school.

I used to keep my Man City kit I got for Christmas in a bag at school, put it in EVERY lunchtime and bring it home on Saturday to be washed

They show multiple episodes.. running weekly, where they are up to the 90s and follow that with random historic episodes.

Is there a Youth Employment Crisis?

Yes.

It's been hidden for years. The decline of manufacturing removed opportunities for basic educated school leavers from obtaining full time employment. We hid it by offering FTE until 18.

At 16, with 2 CSE's I was working 40 hrs a week, paying tax.

It ain't easy. But I remember ILYL on #totp as we gathered in Nans flat after Grandad's funeral.
The comedy where he lampoon's the Osmond's. The sadness of the first family death I knew.
It happened. I can't lose that.

We’re All Gonna Rock To The Rules That I Make How can you discuss Glam Rock properly when you can’t actually discuss some of its key players?

How can you discuss Glam Rock when you can't talk about - and don't want to talk about - some of its key participants? Do we have to pretend it was something it wasn't and overlook others who have done nothing?

I had a go here and it, um, ain't easy...

I see the BBC are still.camped outside Buck House.

He's not there.

Not only that, stop referring to him as the kings brother. He's a Stand alone entity. Charles did not need to exist for Andrew to exist.

In the same way, I'm not responsible for the weirdos in my own family.

HE'S the news.

Day off today. Raining as bloody usual and 3 Degrees outside - Wondered when I'd see that again...

I had hopes of a kayak trip or garden clearing.

I'm sure naughty stuff goes on, and I'm sure that if you go to the right places it'll happen. However, in 65 years, I've only ever been burgled when I moved to the rural north and robbed in Dusseldorf

I even forgot my luggage at LHR Bus park. On my return 1 HR later it was still there!

One minute, you're the Duke of something or other, the next, the police description is
"A man in his 60s from Norfolk"

Do you like my new T-shirt?
Decided to commemorate my wife and I having an early date at the Radio One roadshow day in Newquay in 1979.

All I need new is some flared jeans.

And Hair!

Had a GSXR-600. Sold it. Once you've rotated your eyeballs a few times you realise your licence is a fragile thing.
The rush to bigger bikes isn't always the right path.

Interesting article. I've embraced AI in work and I have felt fulfilment about completing tasks without offloading to a colleague as I used to.

My theory - I'm giving my colleague space to do more fulfilling work, whilst I get a warm feeling from doing it.

What's also interesting about #traitorsireland is the way the "faithful " have been anything but..

Effectively 24 traitors started the show, but three of them were hidden.
