#80sTop30 my (not so) guilty pleasures in no particular order. have to confess, i really do not like Simple Minds at all. too pompous, too ambitious, too humourless, too boring. but this magnificent song simply soars…

useless Jo Whiley played Waves by Blancmange on the radio last night, which i assumed to be as a tribute to the sadly departed Stephen Luscombe. after the song ended she then said she had just looked them up on the internet, “and they are still going strong”. best stick to swooning over Oasis…

it’s not Covid: i tested myself and was negative. however the last three days required a 2 hour sleep in the afternoon to recover from any morning excursions, however minimal. i’m sure I’ll feel better soon. plenty of tea and symphony (of the Mozart variety) should aid recovery!

no alcohol since 31st August, simply because i didn’t want to have any. was planning to have a nice glass of red wine tonight with my sit-down fish and chips at my favourite chippie. now i’ve woken up with something that may warrant a Covid test later in the day. best laid plans etc etc

my city is awash with UberEats / Deliveroo drivers on motorcycles; and every single one has learner plates. i have been looking for a while and genuinely have yet to see a single vehicle without the obligatory red “L” plastered on the bike. the Lesser Spotted Full Licence has so far evaded my gaze
