You rarely see or hear about 'rock cakes' thesedays but when I was young they were a pretty much stable of kids food.

Broke a plant pot recently which had sentimental value so I kinda know how you feel. I remember when I first left home in 89 and going to Spoils kitchen reject shop to buy a glass and a mug with an acid house smiley face on it. No idea what happened to em but that mug lasted longer than Spoils shop.

That moment when you've discovered a new band you've never heard of before and then the daunting realisation that they already have 28 studio albums. I thought 'The Brian Jonestown Massacre' (20 albums) and 'King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard' (27 albums) were bad enough but The Oh Sees/Osees with 28?

Whenever I mention this cartoon to my peers which I remember watching early Saturday mornings on probably Anglia telly, they never seem to remember it? The 'Space Sentinels', originally called "The Young Sentinels" but hastily renamed to cash in on the success of the 1977 Star Wars phenomenon.

There's an account of the incident on John Henry Longbottom's Find A Grave entry, it says his tractor was wrecked as while as the fact that he was killed. Talking of local aircraft accidents, I don't recall the mid-air collison of RAF jets over Wisbech in Sept 1979 resulting in civilian fatalities?

Whilst you were all sleeping like normal people, I learnt that Orac, the snooty super-computer from Blake's 7 could reduce his size down to an 8th when the plot deemed it necessary of course.

Why's everyone talking about "The Rapture", have I missed something whilst I was asleep? - Has anyone asked Fab 5 Freddy what's going on?

"Country of The Isle of Ely"? I'm betting this is a case of someone's parent or relative who'd emigrated and their children not really sure where in the 'Old Country' they originally came from? This is actually a distant relative of mine from the Fens who emigrated to Western Australia.

I can't really work out what langauge script the elaborate calligraphy is in? I'm assuming, just because of the elongated style buddha head, that it would be an Southeast Asian Buddhist country like Thailand or Laos but it doesn't particularly look like Khmer or Thai?

...I used to like it when I was much younger and you'd like gritty urban decay but now, being a grown up, it looks scruffy and reminds me of all the 80s etc. films I've watched with New York as a backdrop looking squalid.

I often use the split screen facility on my tablet and watch TV at the same time as I'm on Bluesky which I like to think is doubling my productivity (when I really ignoring doing domestic chores). Last night I was watching old childhood nostalgia episodes of Blakes7 whilst being on Bluesky.

I'm waiting until 11am when my half-price electricity kicks in till 4pm, to try these frozen Sayers sausage rolls for the 1st time. This is a bit niche to #Liverpool but I really miss Sayers, their sausage rolls were way superior than Greggs, in fact the Greggs on my (County) road closed years ago.

I have no idea what the hell 'pumpkin spice' is but I'm guessing Aldi supermarket own brand Pumpkin Spice fabric conditioner is just a step too far?

I'd forgot about the infamous 12 mins long Beastie Boys gig which end in violence in my adoptive city of Liverpool back in 1987, I should ask around to see if I know anyone who went? Didn't know about them getting screwed over on royalties cash for their debut album 'Licensed To Ill' (1986)

Spent the day watching films and documentaries about NY artist Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988). David Bowie in a wig portrays Andy Warhol in the movie Basquiat (1996) and I think Courtney Love is meant to be Madonna who had a relationship with Basquiat in the 80s before she was famous herself.

I'm glad FOUNDATION is finanlly started to pick up the pace after a few episodes where not much has really happened but I suppose it had to seeing as we're nearly at the end of the final series?

It's not the latest my echinopsis cactus has flowered (that was Sept 18th) but it's the most flowers at one time. 1977 R2D2 and 1982 C3PO with detachable limbs both made in Hong Kong Star Wars figures added for scale.

Even though I have a disastrous track-record with trying to grow them, I can never resist a banana plant (Musa tropicana) when they periodically become available in the supermarkets. Do we even have its requisite 'bright, indirect' light in the northwest of England for most of the year?

Whilst waiting for the weekly releases of episodes of other series I'm currently watching, I've been binge-watching 'The Strain' (2014-2017) created by Guillermo del Toro. The Strain is the story of the CDC Canary Team investigating an outbreak in NYC with hallmarks of vampirism. Enjoyed it so far.

I think I remember 'Warlords of Atlantis' (1978) more as it used to be on the telly at weekends when I was a kid.

If you have an Ancestry account you can view different chart versions of your family tree. I know it's not quite what you asked but you can at least use it as a guideline or just see how it would look. By the way, I'm not related to THAT 'Goebbels'...well, ask far as I know?

Watched Bob and the Monster (2011) documentary about Bob Forrest from drug/booze addled frontman of the band Thelonius Monster to celebrity addiction specialist. I don't think Thelonius Monster was ever big in the UK opposed to other bands Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction etc of the late 80s?

I loved my1986 trendy multi-coloured Swatch when I was a teenager at high school, I remember it cost £25 from Argos. My one was the 'Nautilus' (the main one in the photo) but the straps dissolved in the highly chlorinated swimming pool water when I was on an 80s family holiday in Spain.
