I remember thinking at the time: “I see Suede have released their hit again.” But now I think I like it even more than Trash, mainly for that last glorious refrain: And if your BYBEES are going CRYZEE…

It’s a great track to walk to. You can have that quote for your posters.  (It’s probably a great track to dance to, but my dancing days are well behind me.)

Feeling homesick, I asked a visiting friend to bring me a tub of M&S custard. He brought two tins of Tesco custard. I chucked them away on the way home. (I don’t blame him for not wanting to fly with precariously packaged sticky stuff. But a Tesco tin? My heart sank.)

I’m voting what’s the colour of money, not because I think it’s the best or the most important song of the four, but because it opened me up to things like Big Audio Dynamite.

I am the opposite. I hated the ninth wave with that whole sort of “is mum coming back soon?” “Eat your baked beans lad” business. But a sky of honey is the best thing she has ever done and it blew my mind. (Admittedly, I could’ve done without her son’s giant puppet “artistic” direction.)

It could be worse. In a Salzburg guesthouse last month the wardrobe in my room was full of someone else’s clothes. Around midnight, someone in the next room was trying their switches and the light went on in MY room. None of the switches in my room switched it off, so I had to take the bulb out.
