I could ask The Boss where she gets them, if you would be interested.

Yes, we just buy new inserts.

Ah, dear old John Noakes, a bit of a childhood hero of mine.

Clackers! The most mental toy. I wonder how many broken wrists they caused?

Thank you, such a good album, this.

Wincing from the pun 😖

Exactly, both of those. I actually originally had this slated for Creepy day.

In retrospect, I ought to have put a warning on it. Sorry.

Grim, it most certainly is. I won't traumatise you further with any details.

I have a feeling The Beat's version might have been the first I heard, although it feels like I've known them both forever.

I have to say, though, as much as I loved The Beat, Smokey's does it for me.

Is The Rule in place here? Which version did you hear first?

I ought to join you in that promise 👍

Just the most awful real life story, and a pretty unusual subject matter.

This is a really good album to start with, if you were minded to hear more.

That helped wake me up!

Outstanding choice, we don't see enough Wedding Present here.
