My local tinpot radio station 2TEN FM seemed to have this and "The Prettiest Eyes" on hard repeat at the time, but appreciate them now #totp

It's definitely a vocoder, because Cher is a professional and would never need autotune
Criminal mastermind, Pras is on with the single no-one remembers and the bland stylings of M People come before Cher. Again. Get used to this song and its vocoder #TOTP

Don't know if this Phillip Rowe is one of the Rowes Bakers of Trelowarren Street, but they always did the best pasties in the country
That’s life music plays

A busker was singing The Floral Dance so I had to chuck some money in #TOG

Incidentally there are more relevant antecedents available, but none of them have the sheer poetry or mellifluence of "The Listowel and Ballybunion Railway".

It's *incredibly* satisfying to say.

Not quite sure what the independent MP for Hackney has done to cause ire to farmers, but you do you.

Still one of my favourite moments of Children's TV.

Also, RIP Ewen MacIntosh

I'm sorry, but you have been fed a line that isn't quite true.

Regulated fares have always been set by Government, the ownership of the operator has no bearing on this.

In previous years publically owned operators have been having the same fare rises as franchises

This isn’t true! Regulated fares have always been set by the government, regardless of operator!
Train fares frozen: not happened for decades.

Bringing rail back into public ownership means we can take action on fares.

Is this the full length version, with the street dancing at the end? First time I saw that I gave up before it finished #totp

Instead of watching #totp, my seven year old daughter challenged me to a game of Monopoly.

I lost, big time

Can anyone offer advice for getting my Bublé out of hibernation?

I checked in the airing cupboard last week and he was still asleep. The lettuce in his box was uneaten and he didn't stir when I played "Christmas Cruise With Jane Macdonald"
