The food I am always trying to recreate in a Proustian flashback way is jacket potato in silver foil from a fireworks bonfire with lashings of butter from when I was 10.

My wife is a major fan of her Christmas album. Very different from the norm - very Annie Lennox.

Agree with number one. 100%. Winning our missing league at a glorious game. This chap (now 18) loved it too!

2 points dropped. Wrexham had nothing about them. These need to be the games we win.
Desperately in need of midfield spark.

I think I went all 4 nights. Some great Pompey bands on there, was a slight peak in the (disappointingly flat) local scene at the time.
As a Damned fan, seeing them for free (Patrica Morrison era from memory) doing a cracking set - yes please. Plus TMTCH, another band I still see now (this month!)

I saw Chumbawamba in 96 at a free festival. Ugh! Your Lovely Houses! really stood out. Probably still my fave song of theirs. I went out and got their albums and saw them several times after. Always great live. I really enjoyed their later folkier stuff too.
