Still wondering about who thought the best way to sell chocolate biscuits was comparing them to another country's elite troops and what other options they'd workshopped first

A display of chocolate biscuits on a pallet next to a freezer unit. The display is topped with a photo of a biscuit with a bite taken out of it and the slogan 'The Navy SEAL of dunking'

Every time I hear this I'm struck again by how good it is, and I don't think I even liked it at the time.

Happy 30th anniversary to “Angel Interceptor” by Ash. One of the b-sides is a cover of “Gimme Some Truth” which seems fitting as today would’ve been John Lennon’s 85th birthday.

And some still images of George Michael because he didn't make a video. #TotP

Yes, a live version of a track from a Deacon Blue B-sides album, that's what the kids want. #TotP

This must have been the easiest mega mix ever given that three of the four tracks included in it are exactly the same.

Rocking Over the Beat being the anomaly. #totp
