  Got Jane Wiedlin confused with Lori Petty, looking up which Voyager episode she'd been in - she hadn't - but then discovered she was in Star Trek IV and I'd never realised. So there's that. #TOTP

  That thing where bands you can't stand will actually put out a tune you can't help but tap your toes to a tad. #TOTP

  Thing is, growing up with an Irish Roman Catholic mum, this song was very popular and belted out by her when it would come on the radio. So there's a memory there. It's arguably trauma, but it's part of me. #TOTP

  Christ, but this episode is awesome. #TOTP

  My wife hates Kate Bush, but when I sing along with Kate Bush, well, let me tell you, that makes the experience far worse for her. #TOTP

  Don't think I've ever heard this Squeeze track before, but I like the pep. #TOTP

  What a wonderful chart rundown. Mostly. #TOTP

  Right, Aspinall was decent enough to finish his match before the good #TOTP episodes start, but horrible enough to win his match meaning there's a risk of hearing his walk-on music in the next round if I'm not careful.

  Thought I'd skip the really terrible music of the first hour of tonight's #TOTP by catching some of the #Darts World Grand Prix instead, forgetting that Aspinall walks on to the fucking terrible Mr Brightside.

  I don't think I'd seen that Big Country video before but I liked the idea behind it, even if it felt like there was more of anthemic concept than the song deserved. #TOTP

  The Cliffs of Moher, as seen from our July cruise aboard Borealis around the coast of Ireland. The sandstone and shale cliffs run for 14 kilometres, ranging from 100 to 200 metres in height. #Photography #Travel #Cruise #Ireland #Geology #Landscape #CliffsOfMoher #Ireland #Cliff #TravelTuesday

  Just had a brief session of fireworks going off somewhere in this or the next street over followed by three, very loud, solitary bangs that sounded more like cannon fire than rocket-propelled pyrotechnics. Hopefully a pirate ship and a brief celebration of International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

  Fascinating Rhythm is an absolute banger. One of my favourites songs of this period. #TOTP

  "So, in this video, I'd like you all covered in white sticky stuff." "What does this have to do with labours of love?" "Ha, good question. Shut up." #TOTP

  Def Leppard then Mötley Crüe. My wife is very happy indeed. #TOTP

  It would be five years after this #TOTP performance that I insulted Def Leppard on a Usenet group at university and had such a flood of replies from around the world that I had to explain what had happened to the dean.
