@Annaspanner@bookstodon.com @TechBean@mstdn.social We were in an antiques shop a couple of weeks ago and they had a telephone table as one of their items for sale. Never felt older.

@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org Has anyone on #ThePlaylistSuggestion chosen Bon Jovi's "Bad Medicine" yet? If not, that will be my submission. I hope you and @Troggie@beige.party thoroughly enjoy the Discworld Con!

@foxbasealpha@tech.lgbt I think it's the first time I've seen one "in person" as it were. They don't tend to venture this far north too often, I guess the warm summer has given them a lot more space to spread out in.

Well that was a musical evening that started poorly but certainly redeemed itself by the end. Thanks everyone for the chat, the snark, and the fun, it's not the same without all of you lot. Anyway it's now way past my bedtime so we'll do it all again in a week? #TOTP

I'm still out on the whole Human League vs Heaven 17 question. Honestly the League mk 1 splitting produced two equally good bands. #TOTP

And this reminds me that I heard someone pronounce her name as "Syoo-she" the other day. That's wrong isn't it? Or have I been making a fool of myself for 40-plus years (I mean obviously I have, but not around pronouncing Siouxsie Sioux's name as far as I know). #TOTP

@jennyblenny@c.im I was 13, only really started properly listening to the pop charts about a year or so earlier, so this is very much in the realm of "formative musical memories" for me.

Those young women (are they the Sunshine Band) in their miniskirts are taking a bit of a risk wearing those in a 1983 #TOTP studio. You can almost hear the cameramen drooling.

@mrgawrjuhs@mastodon.scot I'm fairly sure that the 70s #TOTP audiences were all made to sign a disclaimer on entry to the studio that they would be instantly evicted by security if they danced, smiled, or showed any kind of sign of life other than occasional polite clapping.
