How about a moratorium on quiz questions which ask 'What is the collective noun for...'

#OstentationIsPeacocks #ExaltationIsLarks

Got a new laptop recently which is running Ubuntu, thought it needed a finishing touch of its very own Tux penguin.

Continung on anniversaries of a telephonic nature (involving people getting area codes dpectacularly wrong), 5 years ago a FB friend alerted me to this absolute doozy of a comment which resulted in the hardest possible Previn stare from me.

Happy 24th anniversary of #BigNumberChange !
(or, happy 24th anniversary of me repeating 'no, it's 020 for London, NOT 0207 or 0208, the 7/8 goes at the front of the local number making it 8 digits long, it's not part of the code, how many more times do I need to explain it?')

Morning all.

Here's your #forgotten80s hangover track.

A somewhat predictable choice, I think. But I don't care, it's great.

(and if you think it's too cheesy, just try his version of 'Singin' In The Rain')

And to the fine #forgotten80s faithful, it's been lovely to be back with you once more tonight, and I guess we;ll do the same again next Sunday?

Until then, love and big hugs to you all - stay safe!

Thank you Matthew Rudd 📻 🏊 for another great #forgotten80s tonight, and especially for Skipworth and Turner!

Tonight's #forgotten80s awards:
🥇 Taco/Thomas Dolby
🥈 Skipworth & Turner/Kraftwerk
🥉 Kim Wilde/Ultravox

Thomas Dolby a fine start to tonight's Edge Of Heaven selection. #forgotten80s

We're, what, 4 months into the 'Song For Whoever' feature now, and if I've learnt anything, it's that I seem to have a higher tolerance for a cover version than most of the #forgotten80s listenership.

I can only assume I'm fundamentally broken in some way...

Ultravox are pretty much guaranteed a pass onto the SOTN podium. 'Reap The Wild Wind' is marvellous. #forgotten80s

D-Train. Not to be confused with DeBarge, not least because you find them on canals and not on rails. #forgotten80s

'Tour de France' est vraiment un bop. Formidable! #forgotten80s

SKIPJACK AND TUNA klaxon #forgotten80s

Off to South Wales for tonight's lucky #forgotten80s postcode - congrats if you live in Rogerstone!

TOAST BANTZ #forgotten80s

To be fair, 'Basingstoke Skyline' doesn't really have quite the same ring even if the scansion is bob on. #forgotten80s
