I truly feel like I went to bed around New Year 2016 and fell through some hole in the fabric of space / time - the last decade has been so batshit crazy it defies rational explanation.

I recorded every call I had with my dad for about 3 years, up until I changed my phone a year before he died - Android put a "privacy block" on recording phone calls, but it's good to hear his voice from before his dementia had progressed too far.

Had this Arrow version of 2001 when I was in my teens. Can recommend Clarke's "The Lost Worlds of 2001", a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the film and novel.

Had a double whammy - went to see "Life of Brian" in the ABC in Southend in 1980, and the support film was a little-know American flick called "Airplane". Several hours of tears and side splitting followed!

I think it's because you already have a notion of the celebrities characteristics, and can see if they are acting to their familiar 'type'. With Johnny Public you have to get to know their character, which makes following the ordinary version a bit more taxing. Same with most celeb reality shows.

Sorry, but this stopped "A Design For Life" by Manic Street Preachers from getting to No. 1. 'And for that reason, I'm out'.

Was once pointed out to me how many copies of Coldplay's "X&Y" CD ended up in charity shops. Sure enough, once you know, you can't unsee it - my personal record was 6 copies in one shop in Penarth.

Had a look at its chart run - in at 17, down to 81 the following week, then back up to 49 in week 3 before leaving the chart - all without needing a TOTP appearance or (seemingly) any playlisting on radio. Good work sir!
