Ten years ago, this was a slide in an open day presentation of mine to prospective students.

Eckersley is a legend around these parts. We’ve got loads of his originals framed around the place. This is number one favourite:

In the first series of Life on Mars, Sam Tyler holds a collectable football card alot and refers to it as a cigarette card. It is way too big. Slightly annoying as most of the time, the programme is super careful with historic props and detail.

After the game, I sat by the bridge watching two sets of relegated disgruntled fans knock lumps out of one another. After about ten minutes my then GF said “can we go now?”

My nan had a pulley over the hearth. Like Heath Robinson came to his senses and made something simple (as long as you don't mind your clothes whiffing of an open fire). I want a pulley drying system over my stairs but I don't know whether the ceiling could take it, but I think about it a lot.

In 1997 I was a guest/sub DJ at Northampton Roadmenders. As well as route one ‘indie’ I played Orbital, Leftfield, Faith No More, Mudhoney, Aphex Twin, Shamen etc. Realised ‘indie’ had become ‘Brit Pop’ and the crowd was ridiculously musically conservative. I was never asked back. Thank God.

It’s been like working in the middle of an absolutely huge building site for years. This was where the bright pink shopping centre once stood.

E&C has gone through huge changes, some good, some, less so, but yes, the old estates are long gone.

My favourite college gig poster ever. The VU (sans Lou admittedly) at my now place of work. The poster was designed and produced in-house. I’ve only found one original on the open market and its ridiculously expensive. Would love it though.

I am sitting in a room replying to your message wearing a jumper I bought in 2000AD. So, no, I cannot beat that, but it's silver anniversary years old, so maybe worthy of a runner up (silver) medal.

Most terrifying for me is the ease at which lots of Clever People In Power have bought the utopian dream, hook, line and sinker.

Very similar experiences on arriving in Kings Cross in <thinks> ‘95, and then, kicking my heals waiting to get the last train back to Brum, I made the kids from the sticks error of finding a pub to bide my time. Not remotely cool, just very, very edgy.

Every day I have a new reason to hate AI, but today’s is that they faked the work of one of my longtime collaborators.

Sunday working (student facing stuff) along to soundtracks: So far - Koyaanisqatsi The Changes Children of the Stones Chernobyl Lined up - Arrival Rollerball Blade Runner I don't know what this says about me apart from the bliss of working in isolation in ropey times.
