Watching the 40th Anniversary of Transformers the Movie shortly! Never seen it at the cinema. The first time I saw it was on VHS in 1987, and I’ve owned the DVD and Blu-ray for years. It’s a big moment for me!

80sNostalgia @80snostalgia.com · 16/09/2026

Off out tonight to watch @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social at @thelowry.com. Got my nibbles and book.

Does anyone use the DJ feature in Spotify? It says some weird things. It’s just said, “Some of your 2024 favourites coming up next. Here’s a song you listened to 4 times last month.” Eh?

80sNostalgia @80snostalgia.com · 16/09/2026

The Spotify DJ also chooses such bizarre songs to play. “Up next, some tunes I know you gonna like, all with the same vibe.” Then it played Scenes from an Italian Restaurant by Billy Joel, followed by Boom Shake The Room by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.

We don’t do much between Jan and Aug, but as soon as September hits the fun things always kick in. This week: Yesterday: Vegan Festival in Wigan Wed: Caitlin Moran (Lowry) Thur: Transformers 40th Anniversary screening Sat; Wigan Comiccon Sun: Kubo and the Two Strings screening

Picked up this beauty of a record earlier today from a charity shop in Wigan. I’ve always wanted an album of ice cream van music, but they don’t seem to have made any. This is the closest I think I’ll ever come.

Watching an old Ken Dodd routine on YouTube. Man, he was good! “My granddad, people say he worked like a horse. They used to follow him with a shovel.”

Don’t know what all the fuss is about. Most things can fold down the middle if you try hard enough.

Saw Coyote vs Acme today. What a film! Wile E Coyote has been my favourite Looney Tune for decades. I’m pretty much a lifelong fan. It’s a very touching film (I did tear up a couple of times), and I’ll defo be getting on Blu-ray when it comes out. Go and see it while you can.

80sNostalgia @80snostalgia.com · 03/09/2026

Today I’m off to watch Coyote vs Acme. Wile E Coyote has been my favourite cartoon character for decades. I was gutted a couple of years ago when I found out they had made a movie with him as the star, but had binned it. Cannot wait to finally see it on the big screen!

Picked up this beautiful Monster Munch artwork from You Ruddy Guys Art a couple of weeks ago. They were made in very limited numbers. It is incredibly reflective & looks glorious in natural light. Check out their Etsy and get yourself a treat. www.etsy.com/uk/shop/YouR...

Cannot believe Peter Cullen has passed away. I got to watch him and Frank Welker do a read through at a convention a few years ago, and it genuinely was one of the best things I’ve ever seen and heard. Optimus Prime and Megatron were in that room with me.

What’s the best thing you can buy with adult money? I’m going to suggest you need the Magnum PI Playmobil set. It comes with Magnum, TC, Rick and Higgins. It’s at Costco, by the way.

When I was at school in the 80s, me and my mate Andrew did a sponsored cycle to Blackpool and back for Bolton Hospital. Check out my 80s hair.

Happy 44th Birthday to the Compact Disc. Do you remember the first CD you bought? I think mine was Sting with Englishman in New York, and it sounded so good! (But for me, cassettes will always win!)

Picked up a new (old) game today. Word Yahtzee from 1981, all complete, for £2.45.

I’ve seen so little online about this Geek Weekend in Bolton town centre. It’s like a Comiccon, with artists, stalls, trading cards, retro gaming and stuff, but free to enter. Dates: Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th August 2026 Location: Market Place Bolton

Just planning our tea with nothing but circular food, so we can recreate what the sun does this evening. Also, just realised the last eclipse was in the same year that my website launched. Anyway… Jaffa Cakes ✔️ Crispbakes ✔️ Crumpets ✔️ What circular food are we missing?

80sNostalgia @80snostalgia.com · 10/08/2026

When does the Wile E Coyote movie come out? I want to see that, and I want to watch the 40th Anniversary screening of the Transformers Movie too. Cartoons are where it’s at.

80sNostalgia @80snostalgia.com · 09/08/2026

I think someone should make an app where you can sell items by making 6 second videos of what you’re selling. It should be called Vineted.

Trying to collect a complete set of Lego Dimensions Minifigures. Eris from Chima arrived today. Just need the Ninjagos, Teen Titans, Jake from Adventure Time, Doctor Who, and Sonic. Oh, and the PS4 exclusive Supergirl one, but at £80 that isn’t happening any time soon.

Aw man, Rest In Peace Jimmy Cricket. He was such a lovely guy. He sent me a letter in the post about 5 years ago, years after everyone switched to email, and he would wish me happy birthday on Facebook every year. Another true 80s legend gone. Going to watch this tonight. :(

80sNostalgia @80snostalgia.com · 30/07/2026

You know the “Fi Fie Fo Fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman” thing from Jack and the Beanstalk? Fum doesn’t really rhyme with Man. Surely the Giant should be better off smelling the blood of an English Mum instead?

Absolutely gutted to learn that Ronnie Le Drew has passed way. I met him and Zippy a few years ago, and he could not have been nicer. Everyone knows him as being creating Zippy, but he also worked on Muppet films, Little Shop of Horrors, The Sooty Show and more. RIP, Ronnie.

Remember Ice Magic? The chocolate sauce you could put onto your ice cream, and it would harden into a chocolate crust? Is this like that? Anyone tried it?

ZX Spectrum owners, how did you pronounce the quotation marks when you typed LOAD “” Me and my friends used to say “Load dink dink”, but I’ve heard “Load dij dij” and “Load quote quote”. What did you call them?

I’d like to compile a book of 80s jokes, as in the sort of jokes we were all sharing in the playground in the 80s. What joke punchlines can you remember from the 70s and 80s? “You can get 2 ‘ape knees for a penny!” That sort of thing…

Mel Brooks is 100 years old today. What a legend he is. Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles, The Producers, High Anxiety… I could watch them on repeat and still be laughing. And The Elephant Man… What a film! Beautiful. Happy Birthday to the 100 year old, 2000 year old man.

Just picked up a 1983 Snakes and Ladders game by Spears Games. The instructions list what each of the ladders and snakes represent and, to be honest, it sounds like an entry level cult!

Did anyone else get the Walls Mini Ha Ha Joke Book when they were young? Found some photos of it online, but I lost my book decades ago. It has cartoon strips and jokes, and it was fantastic.

Lost my Dennis The Menace badge decades ago, but 42 years later The Beano have kindly sent me replacements! If you live with someone who grew up in the 70s or 80s, there is a HUGE chance they have lost their badges too. Treat them!
