Just a few short weeks ago Tuesday evenings on @madwaspradiomwr.bsky.social wasn't on my radar, now it's unmissable listening! A great show tonight Samantha and I'll see you all again soon if I don't see you in Derby at the weekend. Take care and goodnight. #sams80s

I recognise a lot of yours. It was me that created that original Sublime Token image, but I must say it works much better rotating in the GIF. #sams80s

Thank you for playing this Samantha, such an underplayed gem. #sams80s

Wow, I've posted it a few times and I didn't even know it was yours. 🩷#sams80s

I usually post a Su Pollard Starting Together GIF to this song, however it isn't available in Bluesky sadly. #sams80s

No more than 15 at most including replies and reposts.

Evening everyone, had to come over here as none of my posts have posted in the last 15 minutes over there. #sams80s

Thanks for the company tonight, really enjoyed the final #chooseday. Wishing the best of luck to both @djandycraik.bsky.social and @simonscanlon.bsky.social for your new shows next week. Goodnight everyone, take care. 👋🏼

I would have picked Two For The Price Of One myself, but this is pretty bad for ABBA. #chooseday

Simon Banks 📻🛠️🏳️‍🌈 @simoncbanks.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

I'm guessing What's Your Name? The only cringe moment on the otherwise brilliant Speak And Spell album IMO. #chooseday

DD's version of White Lines is worse than Shatner's version of Planet Earth! #chooseday

Been listening since Madonna, thought I would join you for your final #chooseday show. Can't believe you've put Dollar in a worst of show. 😂

Whilst neither the Tories nor Reform are in any position to occupy the moral platform of judge or jury, the former Deputy PM should have ensured her property transaction was faultless on all levels, especially after the previous CGT issue over the sale of her council house.

Thank you Andy. It was originally intended to be a double A side single, but they dropped the idea when the A side proved so popular on its own. #dlxp

#forgotten80s really hit the brief tonight, best show in ages. See you all again next week, take care and goodnight.

Strength is an absolute banger, definitely a SOTN contender. #forgotten80s

Simon Banks 📻🛠️🏳️‍🌈 @simoncbanks.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

This would be a better song without the phlegm squelch. #forgotten80s

The Whispers start the SOTN list with this disco banger. #forgotten80s

Good evening everyone. What better way to end a weekend than with a glorious sunset, a glass of rioja, and 2 hours of #forgotten80s

Simon Banks 📻🛠️🏳️‍🌈 @simoncbanks.bsky.social · 26/05/2025

Just glad to hear that you are safe, praying that there are no fatalities.

Awful news from Liverpool on what should have been an evening of great celebration. I'm not sharing the video, it's a shocking watch, but my thoughts tonight are with all those injured or affected.

Simon Banks 📻🛠️🏳️‍🌈 @simoncbanks.bsky.social · 25/05/2025

Good evening everyone, what a pleasure it was to meet with so many of you yesterday. Congratulations on 12 years #forgotten80s, here's to many many future years of the best show on the radio.

Simon Banks 📻🛠️🏳️‍🌈 @simoncbanks.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

Wonderful day today at the #forgotten80s tweetup. It's always a pleasure to meet up with you all, I only wish there was more time to speak to you individually for longer. Now looking forward to next year's anniversary, hope to see you all again in Derby.
