I wondered when the “bins and potholes” brigade would show up.

I had a cassette tape of Elton’s greatest hits in my first year at university that I played non stop. At the time, 18 year old me thought that the songs on it were ancient. That was in 1984, only 11 years after this song was released. Now I feel like the 1990s were just 10 years ago.

I love a bit of Michael Buerk so long as he’s not reporting from Korem. It’s still harrowing to watch.

I am aware of the joke in question. Perhaps you would like to explain that one? There is a character limit on Bluesky which prevents a dissertation on the history of comedy.

The premise of the joke is that Jimmy Carr is (purportedly) an edgy comedian who is/will be performing in Saudi Arabia. His name could be misheard as “did you make her”. Hopefully, if you replace “Jimmy Carr” with “did you make her” in the original post, it makes sense of the joke.

Talk of “following through” is highly appropriate.

That’s a beautiful picture of Keith. We used to get the bus to school together and he reminded me a few years ago that he used to borrow my Smash Hits magazine on the journeys. He brought so much joy to the world.
