You have to eat them on the pier, because nothing says "British" like breakfast cereal and a howling North Sea wind!

He regrets that he cannot give valuations by post

Finding photos of my old workplace, I wonder who remembers (or would admit remembering!) "Adult" TV station "House Of Fun" (later Babeworld XXXTRA, Sky 949). I always liked how realistic they made the house set look at our studio - callers would often think it was a real house. Photos April 2007

Ah L!ve TV which eventually became Babeworld, my bosses then bought it and moved it into Milton Keynes where it kept me occupied for about 6 years!

The other place is now so toxic I swear that Elmo could literally write (and let's hope he doesn't) "the late Jean-Marie Le Pen was a Hero" and the blue tick brigade would be unanimous in their praise. "Holocaust, what holocaust?" 🤢

And because radio automation thinks it knows best it shoved an extra song in before the 8'oclock news 🤣

Someone let me on local radio on a Christmas Day... and I'm half way thru my countdown of every Christmas Number 1 in order of popularity. Girls Aloud at Number 34? Join me!!

How you wanted the day to go vs how it's going...

Enjoyed Carols From Kings on @bbciplayer.bsky.social - no waffle, just music and readings. Traditional!

Now off to bed to catch up on two episodes of #OnlyConnect before the Big Man arrives*

*Santa

Still have my Whipsnade Zoo guidebook with his scribble in it. Must be worth absolutely nothing, or maybe less!

We haven't invented listen again yet in Milton Keynes... sadly! Band Aid is a good pick, it's definitely top 30 🙂

Speaking of Rolf, without purposely sullying the timeline, recognise anyone in this!?

A mixture of single sales, awards and weeks at the top. Mr Blobby is firmly mid-table. Rolf Harris ranks higher, but for some reason I don't play that one...!

Shameless plug.. I'm counting down every Christmas Number 1 (in order of "popularity") on the radio tomorrow evening at 6. Beats Wallace & Gromit.

I'm giving a Mince Pie (gluten free) to anyone* that guesses the number 1 before it airs!

*not everyone, I have 6

In the 1980's at school I swear every year we were given a glossy two-sided A4 (or A3?) sheet with the words to about 20 Christmas Carols on it. Professionally produced. Nobody I ask has any idea what I'm on about, nor can I find evidence online! Was this one Quality Street-induced fever dream!?

Damn I had forgotten this, yes I had one plus lots of cards to go in it! Must look on eBay............

Just heading back to 1981 to get an AM radio for my bike at Tandy...

Was Barry White involved in this record by any chance? 😂

David's show was called The Workings Of The Universe, in 35 parts of an hour. Whilst we showed it on the channel, it was independently made. I used to have to watch it before airing for compliance purposes... 😐

Finally, some recognition for Controversial TV (formerly Edge Media). I was #4 in the pecking order at the parent company for 6 years, the stories I could tell...!

3 is the better of the films... <ducks for cover>

I remember my Grandad passing away 32 years ago, just from old age after what was called "a good innings".

He was born 6 years after this guy.

😲

I am still in therapy from this film, please don't remind me 🥲

No Cliff!? No Kylie!? Sacrilegious!

Walking in the Yorkshire Dales, where the only acceptable time to go IS during periods of rain!

Things I learned - We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off was abbreviated to We Don't Have To... in the UK only. Blooming prudes

I went back to the other place to see if it had mellowed. You'll not be surprised to hear it was a million times worse...

Ah, St Mary's was my wife's University - I shall have to let her know! Shame it is on a weeknight, not an easy travel from outside London

Welcome to the nice place. The amount of people telling you otherwise at the old place is simply confirming you have made the right move!

Definitely my favourite, I use this at any opportunity
