Believe it or not, we were talking about Chaka Demus & Pliers at work this week and the question as to what kind of a name was Pliers came up. Of course, we looked into it, and the dude bears a resemblance to another singer by the name of Pinchers. Fascinating stuff, I'm sure you'll agree.

Club Circuit was the Scalextric set me and my brother got for Christmas and it was probably this same year. It came with two Porsches and a banked corner section. You also see it an episode of 'Only Fools and Horses', as Del Boy has one on top of a wardrobe.

I do enjoy it when you encounter a name or product you only know of because you've spent a good three decades watching the same episodes of 'The Simpsons' over and over again.

Good to see the slogan "I'm pleased as Punch" made it ahead of the other options out there like "Would you like a Punch in your mouth?".

I bought this on CD single. In fact this advert was the same as the disc cover. Me and my mate were able to sing the entire song. Could probably give it a go now, if you like...<tumbleweeds>

Put on a film called Khartoum starring Charlton Heston and Laurence Olivier. Charlton Heston, being the biggest star in the film, is playing the ill-fated General Gordon. It also stars Laurence Olivier, who much to my surprise isn't playing your stuffy British colonial type, but the Mahdi!!!

Laurence Olivier in blackface as the Mahdi.

Main memories of seeing this packet of Butterkist popcorn from the late 80s is that it's the one my mum would smuggle into the 'pictures' either in her handbag or by getting me or my brother to shove it up our jumpers. The stress I'd feel at the thought of getting caught. 😰😆

Definitely Lemmings. Think I found my niche with a game like this: funny, tense, puzzling, a great soundtrack and addictive gameplay. It made me think and laugh at the same time.

Things I was frightened of as a child: 1. Nuclear armageddon 2. Eating beef and getting BSE/CJD 3. Getting beaten to death by a gorilla 4. Falling in toxic ooze 5. Being in a plane crash 6. Some unknown red eyed creature lurking in the shadows

This Boots ad talks about an AC/DC album called Flick Of The Knife, but the album they released in '83 was called Flick of the Switch. Wonder how that came about?

A programme I never saw, but was aware of its existence as I could hear it on the TV downstairs when my mum & dad were watching it in the 1980s.

Confused the hell out of me as kid when people talked about the actor Johnny Briggs after growing up watching the Children's BBC programme called Jonny Briggs.

Big fan of logos like this that have all this colour and shimmer. Though, saying that, this channel looks like it probably would have shown 'The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin' when you'd want to watch 'He-Man'.

Think I saw this when I was way too young, as my only experience of Richard Pryor was in Superman III, so I didn't appreciate the more grown-up humour at the time, but now it's one of those films I always watch when I come across it on TV.

Went to CEX in Leeds looking for second hand CDs and the entire O section, except for one, was full of different albums by Olly Murs. Not sure why he wasn't in the M section, tbh.

I do! Though saying that, I'm one of a tiny minority, I think, that can't stand Top Gun, but am more than happy to watch Days Of Thunder. And, even though I'm not a fan of his latter work, I think the Hans Zimmer score is a belter.

Disappointed I missed getting the Bram Stoker's Dracula board game at the time. No idea if it was any good or not, but the eleven year old me, and the currently jaded 44 year version, would have loved it for the box alone.

Because I live in a world of Alan Partridge and Simpsons quotes, it had to be one of them that I used on the Now That's What I Call Music generator. Went with Partridge. pixelframe.design/now-thats-wh... This chemical toilet is a Saniflo 33.

I'll try pretty much any food at least once, and this might genuinely be nice, but a gelatinous meat ring with a heart of mayonnaise is not something I'm feeling up for.
