88 hrs of hits from 1970 up until about 1999. Novelty songs, strange one-offs, instrumentals, football songs, military bands, TV themes, Christmas songs, collaborations. If it's not there chances are it's not on Spotify. No Jonathan King or Rolf Harris 😬 #totp

Here’s every single Arnold Schwarzenegger line from The Terminator. Literally, this is all he says in the entire movie.

TIL that 'spruced up' doesn't come from the name of the tree, it comes from 'Spruce', a 16th century English name for the region that would become Prussia. They made an expensive leather there, which became popular in fashionable clothing for the rich.

I was obsessed with giant spiders and huge waves, via 'Earth vs The Spider,' and 'Krakotoa: East Of Java'

I used to be fascinated by this scenario too. There was a fairly crap pulp flick called 'Empire Of The Ants' with Joan Collins and 'The Naked Jungle' with Charlton Heston that did it for me.

Get the bullshit generation engine to feed itself, that's a good idea.

I stood behind Jim Moir queuing for a coffee at St. Pancras. He was with the family, so didn’t say anything. That’s the rule.

Emergency Questions

20. What is your most mundane celebrity encounter?

I once saw Eve Myles browsing the CD racks in HMV. There is literally no more to that story.

That Red Bull guy didn't 'jump from the edge of space', he wasn't even halfway to the edge of space by any accepted definition.

Going to see him in Dublin in June. Can't imagine there being hecklers as I don't think he's super well known here outside the sort of person who would be very familiar with him already. Anyway if anyone starts it anywhere near me they'll be a quare sorry boy.

I wrote a lovely poem about the good old days, to go with the nice pink one off Facebook that's quoted below.
The Good Old Days Tuberculosis, ricketts Polio and smog He kicked the wife for five days On weekends kicked the dog The choir boys were fiddled with The priest put round the plate And then those lads went off to war And mental health was great. My gran made broth with only bone She couldn't afford cheese And several of her kids died From preventable disease Wasn't allowed a bank account Couldn't get a job Tuberculosis, ricketts Polio and smog.
