Same here - my collection was rounded off with two big batches (and the binder itself) from James Rustell in Year 2 and a piano pupil of my mum's. Think the last to be popped into place was a B-Wing. Special moment.

I've still got my complete binder of Star Wars Tazos circa '97! Never had a Pog in the house, unconvinced they existed.

It's the 22nd anniversary of my first heart attack (at a pre-press conference screening of Love Actually in Sheffield). Not a method I'd recommend to get a quote on a film poster, but it was the only thing I could think of saying to the publicity lady when she rang the hospital to see how I was.
A publicity poster for the film Love Actually with a quote from me on it - I almost died laughing, given after the film company rang the hospital to see how I was doing.

Last night was just lovely. Manchester (and looking how far some people had travelled, the North West) is so lucky to have XS Malarkey. You can see big names, rising stars and absolute freaks for insanely low prices every Tuesday night. The comedy fan's comedy club. Very precious.

Happy Birthday XS Malarkey.
28 years of Tuesday night comedy. Last night’s line-up (@jainedwards.bsky.social @nottomburgess.bsky.social Josh Glanc & Chloe Petts) was a testament to the night’s ability to allow all sorts of brilliant comedians to thrive!
Thanks to our gang, our venue & our audience.
